"It was the middle of the night, and the flight was delayed by more than 8 hours. Despite being a rule from the airlines that the customers are entitled to accommodation, the IndiGo manager denied providing one. She was very rude before I took this video," wrote @AuthorPrajnaa in the caption of her post. She also shared the video of her conversation with the staff member, Nethra.

The clip shows @AuthorPrajnaa telling Nethra that since her flight is delayed, she is supposed to get free accommodation. In response, Nethra informs her that the hindrance is due to bad weather conditions. She also apologises to her and tries to explain the situation.

Here's what people said about this post:

An individual wrote, "Kudos to Nethra for handling this so well

It’s a pity that @AuthorPrajnaa did not know the rules fully - in case of bad weather & acts of God, the airlines are not bound to provide accommodation. Let’s all be more understanding with airlines over the crisis they encounter in the face of such fog delays! Buying travel insurance always helps madam!"

A second said, "You are rude and screaming. The 6E staff is treating you with courtesy."

"In this case, the lady from the airline was right. Bad weather delays do not entitle you to a hotel room," posted a third.

A fourth said, "Not a fan of @IndiGo6E, but Nethra representing it, handled this well. You are not entitled to accomodation when the flight is delayed due to bad weather."

A fifth commented, "Why blame the staff? It is

@IndiGo6E, which is at fault. Right? The service of the airline has been consistently falling over the last couple of years."
