IndiGo Turns Hours Long Bahrain-Mangaluru Flight Into Two-day Harrowing Journey

On any given day, it takes just a few hours for a flight from Bahrain to land in Mangaluru, India.

However, this Indigo Airlines flight reportedly took a whopping two days to reach its destination, media reports say, quoting disgruntled passengers.

Passengers blame their harrowing experience on the multiple goofs the airline made, starting while in Bahrain.

The ordeal began with the airline rescheduling the flight by 24 hours due to a bird strike, leaving passengers in the lurch with no accommodation offered.

The following day, the flight was again delayed by two hours while waiting for a missing passenger, causing 12 passengers to miss their connecting flight from Mumbai to Mangaluru.

They reportedly had to wait for more than 12 hours to catch another flight.

“Disgusting isn’t the word, but sadly we had to face all this and most of the time we were suppressed as we couldn’t raise our voices and didn’t know where the support would come from,” said a passenger on the flight in a report by Time Now News.

“It was only in Mumbai that we dared to raise our voice when we lost our connecting flights and were given the option to return home only after going on another connecting flight
