Nice essay on your experience of air india flight change policy, Mrunalini. I always dread that airlines and always look for alternatives even if that means longer flight or pricier fare. The experiences I have heard from others are similar to yours. I am moved by Tanay's observation. It's so true. People make the airline what it is. If some (the airline staff especially) can do the right thing, it would flourish.
