Also, what defines “town, city, or region?” and/or “close by”? Are DEL and BLR considered the same “town, city, or region” or even “close by” to BOM for the application of what you posted/cited?
one gets into all sorts of issues when one has to take an alternate city. For eg blr and del are equivalent of staying in say Atl and agreeing to fly out of NY or BOS on your own. Bags for example (TATL have diff limits) - trip protection does not apply as they are two separate tickets. Why would I spend money on booking tickets myself when an airline is supposed to protect me. I have offered then numerous alternative routes - they have refused - incl VS own route that VS is selling on website - BOM-DEL-LHR… since Bom-Del is with a VS partner.
I am going to move forward with complaints and then attempt calling end of week — after seeing the forum replies - I will ask for JV desk and see if they will transfer me and if they will prevail….end of week…
Have a great week everyone!!
