Swiss Air Investigation: Swiss Air is currently under investigation by AirlineComplaints.org for serious violations of passenger rights. Read more

Swiss Air Investigation (Dec 2025): Swiss Air is currently under investigation by AirlineComplaints.org for serious violations of passenger rights including but not limited to abandoning passengers at foreign airports; causing negligent delays that result in missed critical connections, particularly impacting travelers attending funerals; providing dishonest assurances through flight staff; failing to manage visa-related issues, leaving travelers stranded in untenable legal situations abroad; mishandling luggage containing essential medications; providing inadequate support for grieving passengers; refusing to offer readily available alternative flights; ineffective communication; causing emotional distress to affected passengers; poor coordination with partner airlines; systemic breakdowns in global phone-based customer support; technical failures on their lost luggage website; ignoring customer complaints; and breaching their fundamental duty of care to passengers.

Swiss Air Investigation Update (Feb 2026): Due to observed Swiss Air behavior, this investigation is escalating for additional serious violations of passenger rights including but not limited to issuing token and bad-faith refunds that bear no reasonable relation to the actual value of unused ticket segments; refusing to reimburse documented replacement transportation costs incurred as a direct result of their operational failures; misrepresenting nominal payments as meaningful refunds; failing to honor explicit written commitments to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses; forcing bereaved passengers to retrieve delayed baggage at their own expense despite being provided with a delivery address; shifting additional financial burdens onto passengers for fuel and transport required to recover mishandled luggage; attempting to substitute legally owed cash compensation with restrictive “goodwill” vouchers; implying that such vouchers constitute adequate settlement of unresolved claims; failing to provide transparent refund calculations or justification for nominal reimbursement amounts; and demonstrating bad-faith escalation handling through repetitive, non-authoritative, template-based responses that avoid substantive resolution.

We are expanding this investigation to the public and requesting feedback from Swiss Air customers here. Show less

Malindo Air delayed my flight for 2 hours

I traveled on 29-December-2016 with Malindo from Penang to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). At first, there was an announcement that my flight will be delayed for 45 minutes. The reason was classic - "technical problem". After 45 minutes, the flight still not took off, and went to 2 hours delay causing me to miss my connecting flight.

I had to purchase a new ticket and it costed me money. I was so tired and frustrated. Worse, it was my birthday that day, and I missed a birthday dinner with my wife because of that delay. I will never forget and forgive Malindo Air for that.

I checked with Malindo Air counter at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and a lady officer told me that Malindo Air will compensate to me no matter what happened. I called their customer care hotline just to be sure, and I got same answer that Malindo will compensate. But when I tried to claim to Malindo Air, and best they could do was apologizing. It seems like the staff themselves did not know what to do and how to handle. It was so frustrating.

I really really do not recommend anyone to fly with this airline. Not even when it is your last resort.
