Pathan had suffered rude behavior from Air Vistara staff at Mumbai airport on his way to Dubai.
Pathan, who is part of the commentary panel for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 shared his "very bad experience" while traveling to Dubai from Mumbai by Vistara airlines. Pathan shared his experience in detail and said that he was made to wait for more than an hour at the counter with his wife and children and that the "ground staff were rude"
"Today, I was traveling to Dubai from Mumbai by Vistara Flight UK-201. At the check-in counter, I had a very bad experience, Vistara was involuntarily downgrading my ticket class which was a confirmed booking. I was made to wait one and half an hour at the counter for a resolution. Along with me, my wife, my 8-month-old in fact, and 5 years old child also had to go through this.
The ground staff were rude and gave various excuses. In fact, a couple of passengers also had to go through the same experience. I don't understand why they oversold the flight and how is this even approved by the management? I would request the concerned authorities to take immediate action on these incidents so that no one has to go through the same experience as I did," read the cricketer's tweet.
Former India cricketer and Pathan’s teammate, Aakash Chopra also took to Twitter to react to Irfan’s experience and said that such behavior was not expected from the airline. Pathan also commented on the same that the behavior happened despite him carrying an infant child.
