Spice Jet – Last minute flight cancelled no alternate arrangements

I had booked three tickets for Kolkata to Port Blair for departure on the 17th of December 2014. The flight was supposed to depart around 10 am. PNR- CEEBPR, ZBTCMA As our origin was from Bhubaneswar, we had started off in the night of 16th December from Bhubaneswar via train and reached in the morning around 5 am. While on the way to the airport, we received a message from Spice Jet informing that the flight has been cancelled and to call a number so that the airline could make alternate arrangements. We reached the airport and there was nobody at the Spice jet counter to answer queries. Nor was the Airport Authority answerable/available. Many other customers were facing the same problem. Calling up the numbers 987180xxx and 965400xxx did not elicit any response. After waiting 6 hours, we had to log in to the website of Spice Jet and cancel our tickets.
