Mumbai: Frequent fliers are well aware that it’s heavy going with airlines when it comes to any excess baggage. But 24-year-old Vinish Vincent George claims, in his particular case, national carrier Air India has gone too far. Falling short of 35 Canadian dollars towards payment for his extra baggage proved costly for the aspiring Indian pilot, who is stranded at Pearson Airport, Toronto since 12.40 pm (local time) on April 29.
George, who recently completed his pilot training course at Ontario, was set to board Air India’s Toronto-Delhi flight AI 188 on April 29, when the entire row started. The victim, whose two bags were designated as overweight, says he was asked to repack from two bags to three as he reached the AI flight counter at the airport. He scurried around and managed to do the needful. However, to his shock, he was not allowed to board, since the airline allegedly said his boarding time had elapsed.
