I have made a booking of An Airindia flight - Dubai to Kozhikode for AED 910.
I have checked for a reschedule on date before, the rate for that time is AED 475. But As per cleartrip, we have to pay AED 250 extra to reschedule. That mean, 910+250 = AED 1160 for a flight of AED 475. They suggested to cancel booking and book freshly.
So I initiated the cancellation. On the website they mentioned they will refund the amount to WALLET in 1-2 days. But i waited 14 days to finally get the refund. I was surprised by the refund deduction. AED 250 - Air India cancellation fee plus AED 50 for cleartrip cancellation fee. If we book directly, cancellation charge would be somewhere around AED110. So i am paying around AED 190 extra for cleartrip.
So inconvenient for flexibility. Think twice before going for it.
