Use ChatGPT to prepare a flight refund challenge
A traveler says ChatGPT helped them press IndiGo for a cancelled-flight refund and recover ₹43,992.
- What they did
- When IndiGo emailed to cancel a January 22 flight, the traveler tried to switch to another option, but the website would not complete the change. After the airline later turned down the refund request, they kept asking ChatGPT for help with rule-checking, drafting replies, and spotting gaps in the airline’s explanations. They used those drafts as they went through airline support, AirSewa, a DGCA complaint, and then a CPGRAMS appeal.
- How it went
- The traveler says the airline eventually paid back the full ₹43,992. They did not share the exact messages, forms, or timing, so the account stays broad rather than step-by-step.
- Tips
- Have the agent compare the airline’s claim with the relevant passenger rules and turn that into a short, factual complaint. Keep your own records tight, and review every draft before you submit, send, or accept anything.

Here is the full timeline and the airline’s replies: [paste details]. Check which passenger-rights rules apply in [country], identify any weak points or contradictions in the airline’s position, and draft a calm but firm message asking for a full refund by [deadline]. Then draft a second version I can use for [escalation channel]. Stop and ask for my approval before you write anything I would submit, send, pay, delete, or file. Also tell me what evidence to attach.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
