Right LCC"s cl;early state that, and that they will not transfer your baggage to another airline. That's why, I am reluctant to travel on Air Asia when I have to connect with an other airline.
It depends on individual agents and whether the ticket was validated (issued) by the airline in question. A passenger carrying an AA validated ticket in Biz or F will, generally get good response. But if the AA flight is an add-on to an itinerary validated by another airline, especially, a non U.S. airline, some agents are not willing to cooperate. I have had trouble checking my bags through to DEL in MSY, using NW and AI. This is a form of racism that not many Americans are willing to acknowledge. They will make all sorts of excuses for the culprit.

it was one through ticket so ideally either aa or jet should have paid for my hotel room in ny....

aa refused to put me on another flight at iad so that i could make it in time to jfk for my 9w flight....buy the time i got to jfk my international flight was long gone & there was no jet agent to be found....i called jet in india & they immediately put me on the flight leaving the next day....i spoke with aa again at jfk & they again refused to put me up in a hotel....

i paid for the hotel room myself & when i got back to india i took this issue up with jet....i told them that not only did i have to pay for my own hotel room when i was on one through ticket, but i also missed an important day in court which could have been avoided had aa put me on another flight to get to jfk on time....

long story short, jet offered me a free business ticket (good for one year) to the US for my troubles....they had first indicated that i could not transfer it to anyone else but eventually agreed to let my wife use it....this way i took her with me on my next business trip....

DGCA defines penalties when denied boarding without alternative:

I think this is an old rule. There are a few problems with all these DCGA passenger compensation rules.
1. They talk about delays / new flights in 24 hour blocks which is stupid. So if you couldn't get your 8 PM flight and you're booked on a 10 AM next morning flight - technically you're not entitled to any hotel stay. If your flight is delayed for one minute less than 24 hours - the airline is only responsible for providing you meals! How awful is that.
2. In cases of compensation calculated on price of your ticket - award ticket compensation is not at all clear
3. DCGA talks about putting passengers on a flight within an hour - which airline in India has flights to the same destination within an hour (hopping maybe but even that is super unlikely)? Maybe DEL-BOM for a few hours everyday but really that's a called out rule? The rule in itself is not an issue but they can give airlines that grace period but can't make smaller hour blocks to ensure passenger comfort and safety?

End of rant!
