But I don't get it.. So many of you who say they argue, why do you argue? I mean its a genuine question.. You are the one at fault tou why argue.. I find it so strange when people create a ruckus at airports.. Arey itna important the flight catch karna tou time per atey na😆

Argue coz Gate wasn't closed yet. Obviously koi udi hui flight to vapas nai bulvayega. This has happened only once. And that was coz rent car return was delayed by their employees.

And argue does not mean literal sense me mara - mari. Requesting style but chillake requesting. 😆😆

The first time I came to US, security personnel at Bombay airport tells me, M not allowed Laptop bag. I was traveling on Student Visa. It's allowed. I showed them in written. Then he tells me, you have to pay $50 for it. Meri satki fir. Ek toh abhi US pahonchi nahi mein, inhe abhi se dollar chahiye. That to for something I am allowed to take in flight. Fir chillam chilli. Mene bol diya, nahi pay karungi kuch bhi. Wo fir aur 2 uncles ko leke aaye. mujhe side mein bulaya n all that. I stayed firm on my point. After which they realized, yaha se extra income nahi hogi, they let me go.

You won't believe, Hamare desh mein, airport pe bahot paise aithe jate hai. Dara dara ke. You gotta know some rules n stay firm.

Something similar happened with me too.. I was flying on student visa and jet has 10kgs extra allowance for students over and above the usual 30kgs. Mine was 32 or something and they were asking me to pay for it 🤓 I was adamant on not paying.. they called their seniors and all and finally i was allowed the luggage without paying a penny extra. This too was at mumbai airport!

Not blaming all, But Mumbai Airport is known for their cheap tactics to luto more paise.

I have heard cases, where officials asks for old passport of Indians who are American citizens, citing they don't need it and rules says they should submit their expired passports at airport.

First of all there is no such rule. And why would an American citizen has to submit their passport at Indian airport. These passports are then sold at higher price and used for illegal entry in US by forging it. I know a lady who had to argue for it coz she was educated enough to know better.

Some cases, where if you aren't aware, they have torn visa page off passport. At Ahmedabad airport, they are always asking money to even get your own luggage off the belt.

You just gotta know rules n be aware at airports.
