Parking Scam

UNBELIEVABLE...is the one word that comes to my mind when i think of parking my car in Chennai airport.I stayed inside the airport for exactly 10 min 35 seconds and i had to pay Rs.135 for those extra 35 SECONDS. Believe it or not, A guy can easily have 2 meals in Chennai with that money. India is not a country like the US or any other developed country for that matter.We are already burdened with taxes, corruption,fuel price hikes and not to mention the ever greedy and obnoxious autowallahs etc. How can we improve our living standards if we get ripped off like this every single day by so many factors. No wonder there is a huge amount of people moving out every year. If India wants to retain its talent and improve its economy, the government needs to know that siphoning off small change through taxes, price hikes etc will only f**k them up in the long run and they cannot afford to piss off the citizens who are the most important resource in the country. People are getting smarter every day and the day is closer where there will be a truly democratic government. Beware u babus, netas, sonia gandhi, modi, karunanidhi, jayalalitha. The INDIAN is aggressively rising to change the way the world looks at India. You can either help him in his endeavors or incur his wrath and get destroyed.

Worst Airport

One of the worst Airports visited in recent times.

Dirty overflowing toilets. There was water all over the toilets. As one toilet was already overflowing, I wneto the other one at the other end and even that was overflowing with puddles of water all around. They stink worse then Public urinals

Electrical points for Charging mobiles not working

Dirty carpets - why have carpets if you cant maintain them

Baggage weightage difference during Checkin

Hi,

This is the third consecutive time I could clearly see difference in baggage weight during a check in. In all my last 3 travels my handbag is a standard one with a Laptop, charger and mobile accessories. I was very deliberate in noticing its weight each time which is 7,8,9.5 kg resp. This is very shocking that I couldn't believe it. Neither I have increased my material nor removed any. This gives me a great suspicion on machine functioning properly or people have calibrated.

Rediculus Parking Charges

Today I had to drop my aged parents in Chennai domestic airport, I entered the airport at 6.24AM as I am entering the airport after renovation, instead of going thru the ramp went thru the normal route and got the parking slip (Gate 2). Asked my way to enter the ramp, entered the first floor departure terminal, no trollies were there, went to look out for the same and then after sending off my parents went to Gate 11 to exit the airport. The time taken between entry and exit was 10 min and 42 seconds, the counter person at parking gate said the parking charges is 135 since i have crossed 10 min (!!!!) rediculous. I tried explaining the person she was in no mood to listen, going by the best estimate, to take the cirucular route inside the airport took me 4.30min (no direction boards are there and had to depend on help from the staff available on the ground) and looking for trolly, dropping my parents, and waiting for the cab parked in front of me to move took 5min and the long overbridge ride was about 1min and waiting for the prev. car to exit the toll was around a min .. in all the entire time was around 11min ...

If such a high toll is collected is it not the responsibility of AAI or parking agency to ensure there are sufficient trollies at arrival gate? Also should they not ensure that there is no congestion on the departure gate by cabs etc. Can we not make the duration to 15 min which is reasonable considering the difficulties and you are not just going to drop your relatives / rather push them of the car etc.

AAI please review

This is the first airport i am seeing charging such exorbitant rate for a < 15 min stay within the airport even if the vehicle is NOT parked.

dogs, no toilets for visitors in new terminal, inadequate fr

there are no drinking water facility or toilets for visitors at the international departure new terminal, then why am i paying 60 Rs for? the airport has dogs near the garden areas, good luck getting international recognition next time. why cant you give a 15 min grace time for cars ? even world class airports give at least 15 min time-window to get out of the airport and Chennai airport which is just plain shit when compared to even other Indian airports give only 5 to 7 minutes ? why are we paying airport tax along with our tickets for ? why no transparent governance is present ? why not have a proper website for a start, your display boards says "scheduled" even after my family have landed, arrived and met with me!!! Melbourne airport even has a radar map to show location of flights and you cant tell us if the flight has safely landed... BRAVO F***ERS !!!

Need for Business and Internation Air Travel

It is Situated near to my village - Sendamangalam which is known for kings rule and it is the capital city of chera nadu but it is not known by many. it is beautiful and God Ishwer temple is there. Ulundurpet is one of cities in tamilnadu for trade and business. When there is Domestic Airport then the State will have Its growth and no one can defeat us. Airport can be used for airforce training etc...

overcharging in foreign currency at the Port Lounge

If you use the port lounge at Chennai Airport, you are allowed to pay only in cash and if you do not have INR you are made to pay in foreign currency for a much much higher charge.

I had a couple of drinks which was INR 600. I didn't have enough INR and had to pay SGD 20 (900), about 1.5 times. It was not only me, but most of the foreigners who we're sitting there was also made to do so. The waiter always tells a very round figure in foreign currency, bill is in INR, and no change....

Very obvious, the staff are trying to cheat money. A lot of staff education is required to stop doing these cheap things.

Airports are more than just 4 walls and a plane!

The more I used to love being at an Airport, the more I regret going there now. Not being I don't like it, but because they have introduced a fleecing, demeaning toll system which is no where found on Earth. The enterprise which has taken over this toll system, has no time to talk, or explain or understand the basic needs of a customers or a passenger. Their only motive is in their answer : MONEY! Pay it and Go! thats all there is to talk and nothing more. The taxi drivers, the police, the AAI authorities and everyone else who's a part of it has been keeping mum on this issue. Its such a pathetic moment to go inside an airport, throw the passenger out like you don't care about them, throw their luggage on their face and drive like mad to the next known exit, just to make sure you're within the 5minute time limit. What kind of an Airport experience is this ? Is this what you call an Airport Experience?

AAI, please bear in mind that its Airports are not just about coming in and taking off, Airport is more than just a wall in front of a plane. Kindly make the time limit between 10-15minutes.

Whatever is going on now in Chennai is atrocious and very demeaning!

parking car while sending passenger abroad

is there provision to park our vehicle at chennai international airport after dropping passenger at departure bay if we have to wait till the person (student) gets through security check. Second after dropping passenger at departure bay at first floor, when coming down the bridge we can park our vehicle to wait at airport till the passenger gets through security check.

Additional Charge 70 Inr Charged by Fast Track

Today i came to Airport by fast track call taxi at Morning 3:30 am to catch a domestic flight & i am the single person travelling in that vehicle with an Laptop bag, i have not made the driver to wait for any thing once he as stopped the vehicle i immediately get down from the car allowed him to go from there, since i know very well about the Airport rules, But driver charged me extra 70 inr saying that's the rule, but actually at morning 3:30 am there is no traffic & also i have been travelling regularly & i have not paid also on my before travels, but this driver was not in good shape to speak & he says that's the rule,

I want to know is this a rule that we need to pay extra 70 inr even if we have not made him await & that to at morning 3:30 where there is no traffic in airport

My worry is for the regular traveler itself the scenario is like this than how come for the occasional travelling guys. they will be suffering a lot

Car Parking Tariff, Contractor Garuda Aviation services PVT

Garuda Aviation Services One of the underworld Car parking mafia From Mumbai . Airpot Authority of India awarded the contract for DAY LIGHT ROBBERY management At chennai Airport . AAI tariff is car 60/- van , truck , minibus,70/- for general park and 120/- for primium , 7 minute free time for pick up and drop in the free lane. The company revised the tariff 12% without AAI notice in the name of service tax and the tariff is 67/-,79/-253/-and 17/-. Also I asking what is the 5 minute, 7 minute, 12 minute and where is the Genaral car parking Area .

Picture of

Paid 135 parking free for 12 mins

Daylight robbery. Shame Chennai Airport and Garuda - you're applying the Chennai autorickshaw mindset in collecting parking fees. Rubbish rules like 5 mins one rate and 10 mins another rate. Any visitor to the city will only have a bitter taste. Learn from other city Airports!

Overcharging and Cheating

This morning I had been to the Chennai Airport Domestic Terminal to drop my Mother and Brother who were travelling to Vadodara. The person handing the counter charged me Rs 70/- for a waiting time of 9 Minutes &.43 Seconds. While its clear that no parking fee will be charged for vehicles which return after dropping passengers within 10 minutes, why is it that your Staff Charge us for the same ????.

Also a bill was issued for only Rs 67/- and the change of Rs 3/- was not returned. The lady manning the counter also wanted to tell me that an amount of Rs 135 needs to be paid if I donot move out of the counter within the next 10 seconds. Its not a question of loosing Rs 3/-, its a question of how many Rs 3/- is silently siphoned away by the staff manning the counters. Refer to the several complaints lodged in this forum... will someone from the AAI or Garuda Aviation officials respond to such complaints. Thanks.

Hopeless airport

That's a hopeless airport I have ever seen.A lot airport officials at TRZ don't know how to treat international passengers,they dont' even speak english properly .

Trichy doesn't deserve an international airport, probably the geographical location of the city is the reason for the introduction of international flight services. Also the taxi drivers outside the airport force people to hire taxi and some voluntarily do porter's service and later demand money.

I had a bad experience at Trichy airport.

Picture of

Transit passenger facilities

Passangers transiting through Chennai airport are asked to sit outside on the pavement when their connecting flight has more that 2 hours gap. I took an International flight from Delhi to Singapore via Chennai and back. Both the times I had to wait with my family outside the terminal for several hours because the security people would not let us in as the gap between the flight was more than 2 hours. No amenities, no drinking water, heat and dust, the managent of Chennai Airport is the worst. They claim to be an ISO certified organisation - what a shame !

7 minute limit for drop chennai airport ...

Dear Sir,

I am pointing out illogical limit and creating a scenario to charge practically everyone. I gave lot of thinking hence presenting a logical picture to request you rectify it appropriately:

1. The distance one has to cover from entry punching to exit punching is more than one kilometer.(Measurement taken from google earth for chennai airport)

2. There are numerous speed breakers you cannot go beyond 10 kilometer per hour.

3. The time starts from the punching point and ends at exit point, this I observe the operator punches the moment car he sees approaches, this means it punches 5 to 10 seconds earlier.

4. If there is queue at exit punching point will add further additional time.

5. While talking to operator I come to know that system time is set manually which might bring additional discrepancies.

With this observation: the time taken to travel will take = minimum 6 minuite 10 sec (according to first 3 points)

With points 4 and 5 there are chances there indeterminate bias towards collection.

In earlier I saw that every second matters. This is ridiculous statement in response of previous comments. Is airport is racing place- you are creating a situation where public outcry or accidents will result in future. The best least count in this case should be minute and not seconds. If you are for seconds than no human intervention for any punching points, and no queue condition need to be fulfilled.

I hope you have understood the issue and a take a note of my observation and correct it appropriately, as today I was not wrong and charged around Rs 79/- for 7min 27 sec. The operators are failed to understand my point but I am sure you cannot disprove any of my point.
