Singer Rahul Vaidya recently ran into unexpected travel trouble while flying for an important work commitment. His plans were badly affected due to sudden disruptions at the airline which left many passengers confused and struggling to make alternate arrangements. The situation turned stressful very quickly but the full extent of what happened became clear only after he shared his experience online. What did Rahul Vaidya say? Rahul Vaidya explained that his IndiGo flight to Kolkata was cancelled as the airline faced a major system glitch and operational issues. He shared a selfie from the airport looking visibly exhausted and wrote “One of the worst days to fly! And we have a show in Kolkata tonight and still dont know how to reach there!” He later posted another photo showing him holding several Air India boarding passes in his hand. Along with the picture he wrote “These boarding cards are worth Rs 4.2 lakhs and it is just till Bombay! And now Mumbai to Kolkata will be separate. This is the most expensive domestic travel done by me.” Rahul ended up spending lakhs because of the last-minute changes first flying to Mumbai and then booking a separate ticket to Kolkata to make it to his event. What is the entire matter? The airline experienced a widespread technical issue that affected check-in systems scheduling and flight operations. Combined with staff shortages and airport congestion this led to more than 150 flight cancellations and numerous delays across major airports. Passengers reported long lines confusion and a lack of proper updates from airline staff. Many took to social media to express their frustration as they waited for hours with no clear information.
