Qatar Airways - overbooking problem

rsundaram68

I need sincere advice from you all on the following matter.

I was one of the passenger (with wife and 2 small kids) to New York on the very second flight. however, upon my return journey at the checkin I was not provided seat until very last minute after lot of argument and request, eventhough I had reconfirmed my seat at least 2 time and even provided with Seat No. also.

Worst thing, upon getting my boarding pass I found that all 4 seats were scattered. Imagine this situation. I had to beg fellow passengers to allow us to sit together. (Airline staff was least bothered about this)

Finally during the flight we were the last people to get some junk to eat. and kids had to share with us b'coz they did not have any kids meal. Infact they did not bothered to provide a separate adult meal for the kids b'coz there weren't enough veg meal on board.

When I lodged my complaint with the airline; they wrote a 1 page, useless, email and apologizing for the problem I had. And in the end simply denied any compensation claim.

Could you kindly advise, isn't it the moral responsibility of the airline to provide compensation for this bad serive when they claim to be 5* airline.

I sent several email to airline but in vain. They don't bother to reply.

Best wishes and Ramadan Kareem

In cattle class its the same bog standard service and amenities as every other airline I've been on. And in reference to their '5* adverts' - when have you ever been served a FRIED EGG on a plane!!! :D
