00:00We were told, leave your pet and go.
00:12You can fly if your pet is not flying, we will not allow you to take the pet and go.
00:18So it's as good as leaving our kid and going.
00:22Hi, this is Sachin Shenoy, Uma and Arya.
00:27We were supposed to board the Air India AI503 flight today at 17.10 to Delhi and then to
00:36Amritsar.
00:37We were supposed to be on a 12-day trip from Amritsar, Dharamshala and Dalhousie.
00:44We had booked these tickets about three months back.
00:49We have been in constant touch with the Air India authorities on the process for travel
00:55with our pet.
00:57Our pet weighs 4.2 kilos, with the bag she is hardly 5 kilos.
01:01As per the rules, she can fly inside the cabin.
01:03We got all the checks done, we had all the certificates done.
01:07She was issued a boarding pass by Air India today and then we waited for four hours.
01:14She peacefully and calmly waited without creating any issues.
01:18We went to the lounge, she was petted by at least 250 people in the airport and she didn't
01:25make any nuisance.
01:27She didn't cry, she didn't bark, whatever.
01:39And finally the flight lands and the pilot, the captain Chopra denies entry or that is
01:49what was told to us.
01:51We also understand the flight was full and maybe they had overbooked and because of which
01:56they might have wanted us to deboard so that they could take in more passengers.
02:21Is this what travel in India is all about?
02:35Is this what the modern India is all about?
02:37I want to ask Mr. Sindhya and Prime Minister Modi and General VK Singh, is this what travel
02:45in India is today?
02:47I have suffered huge losses because we paid for our stay in Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharamshala
02:54and my cab and everything for the next 12 days.
02:57Who is going to bear the consequences of this?
03:00I hope the rules are simplified and the captain is not given the right to deny permission
03:06after all the rules and regulations have been followed.
03:09This is pathetic.
03:10Things need to change.
