Nagpur may get connecting flights to Manchester, Amsterdam via Mumbai
Nagpur: Passengers flying out of Nagpur may soon be able to travel to Manchester and Amsterdam on a single PNR, with connecting flights via Mumbai expected to begin from July 1.
IndiGo Airlines has introduced a connecting service that links Nagpur to the two European cities via Mumbai, according to sources at the city airport.
The move is aimed at simplifying international travel for Nagpur residents.
Though the journey will involve a layover of 4–5 hours in Mumbai, passengers will benefit from more convenient scheduling. For Manchester-bound travellers, flights from Nagpur will land in Mumbai around midnight, with the onward flight scheduled at 4.15 am. Those flying to Amsterdam will depart Nagpur at 10.35 pm, reach Mumbai by midnight, and board the connecting flight at 5.20 am.
Immigration clearance will be completed in Mumbai, officials said.
While Nagpur currently has no direct flights to any European destination, this new one-ticket service is seen as a step toward improving international connectivity. The existing domestic leg to Mumbai is already operational, with the added international connections now aligning to offer a more streamlined travel experience.

Flight To Greece Returns To Zurich After 32-Hour Trip Due To Bad Weather
A flight from Switzerland to Greece had to return to its point of departure after 32 hours in the air due to bad weather. According to the New York Post, the incident took place on May 24, when Condor flight DE1234 was embarking on what was supposed to be a routine flight from Zurich to Heraklion in Crete, Greece. The flight was already running 30 minutes late, but initially appeared to be going swimmingly. After two hours, it began its initial descent to the idyllic Greek isle. However, the aircraft's landing was hampered by powerful winds, which forced it to circle around for a prolonged period. Then, the pilot decided to divert to Athens and refuel. The plane touched down at the Greek capital three hours after it originally departed Zurich, per the Post. Around two and a half hours later, the pilot made a second attempt to land the plane in Heraklion. However, due to severe weather conditions, the plane circled again before landing at Kos, a nearby Greek island, to refuel. After another failed attempt, the aircraft was once again running low on fuel, and the flight was diverted to Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece. The crew felt that this was a good place for the passengers and flight attendants to spend the night. They reportedly touched down after a whopping 11 hours after they'd initially left Zurich. The next day, the crew decided to make one last attempt to get to Crete, but found themselves in a holding pattern yet again due to wind. Again, they were forced to divert to Athens, whereupon the crew decided to call it quits and fly back to Zurich. The plane returned to its point of departure 32 hours later. In a statement, the airline said that "due to extreme weather conditions and strong winds, takeoffs and landings at Heraklion Airport were only possible to a limited extent." According to the Post, the plane had landed a total of five different times. To make matters worse, passengers were only given a glass of water and nothing else during the whole flight. Moreover, upon arriving at Thessaloniki, they were forced to pay for their hotel room, although they are entitled to reimbursement under European aviation guidelines.

"Zips Gone, Locks Missing": Furious IndiGo Passenger Posts About Damaged Bags, Airline Responds
A Deloitte senior analyst took to LinkedIn to express his frustration with IndiGo's alleged mishandling of his luggage and subpar customer service. In a scathing post on LinkedIn, Abhishek Kumar detailed his unpleasant experience on a recent flight from Delhi to Hyderabad, sharing photos of his damaged luggage. Upon arrival, he discovered his checked bag was severely damaged, with torn zippers, missing locks, and tampered contents. Mr Kumar also reported that several items were missing, and the bag weighed noticeably less than when he checked it in at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. "Your service quality is dropping faster than the economies of South Sudan and Burundi combined — and trust me, that's saying something. My recent flight from Delhi to Hyderabad was nothing short of a disaster. My luggage looked like it had survived a WWE match — zips gone, locks missing, contents clearly tampered with, and surprise surprise: items missing," Mr Kumar wrote on LinkedIn, along with photos of the damaged luggage. He also noted that his bag weighed over 14 kg at check-in at Delhi's IGI Airport, but by the time he received it in Hyderabad, it weighed barely 13 kg. Mr Kumar expressed his frustration with IndiGo's support team, stating that he had been pursuing them for a resolution with no response, likening it to dealing with an unresponsive party who owes him money, and described their service as pathetic. "I've been chasing your team for a resolution like it's a toxic ex who owes me money — and yet, radio silence. July is around the corner, so do let me know if I need to start a '16 Somvaar' fast to get even a decent response from you," he added. IndiGo responded to the viral complaint, asking him to share his contact details and PNR via direct message so they could better understand his experience and get in touch with him promptly. "Thank you for sharing your PNR and concern in detail, Mr Kumar. Please allow us some time while we look into it. We request your kind patience in the interim," IndiGo replied after his response. Earlier, a Goa-based woman, Vaishali Sharma, lodged a similar complaint with IndiGo after her checked baggage arrived damaged on a flight from Goa to Delhi. Despite repeated follow-ups, she claimed the airline barely responded.
