What happened 👇
📅 7 Feb 2026
✈️ Delhi to Zurich – 8 passengers
I booked 8 flight tickets at ₹41,651 per person
Total amount paid: ₹3,33,208 (including convenience fee)
⏱️ Within 30 minutes, I got a call saying:
❌ “Only 2 tickets are booked”
❌ “Pay ₹1,38,000 extra if you want all 8 tickets”
👉 I CLEARLY SAID NO and told them not to proceed at a higher price.
Despite my clear refusal:
They unilaterally booked only 2 tickets
Charged ~₹20,000 extra per passenger
Issued a wrong partial refund for remaining passengers
Later claimed this was valid because of a “call recording”
⚠️ Important truth:
In airline booking, partial ticketing without customer consent is NOT a valid practice.
Either all tickets are issued at agreed price — or booking should be cancelled.
This is NOT the first time
In Oct 2025, the same company demanded payment for a Thailand trip and later marked it “rejected”, issuing refund only after strong objection.
Bigger concern 🚨
After checking social media, I found many people reporting the SAME MODUS OPERANDI:
Show low price
Take full payment
Call later to demand more money
Force partial booking / refund
This looks like a systematic scam, not a mistake.
Questions that need answers:
❓ Why does Wego app allow such portals on its platform?
❓ What due diligence is done before authorizing these travel websites?
I am now taking this matter to:
Consumer Court
Cyber Crime
Government & Regulatory Authorities
⚠️ Public Warning:
Please be extremely careful while booking flights via unknown portals listed on aggregators.
Always document calls, chats, and payments.
If you faced a similar issue, please comment or DM — such practices must be stopped.
