Flyers stranded as Spice Jet delays, cancels flights
Despite repeated complaints, no immediate deboarding arrangements are made.

I expect a full refund, Compensation for harassment and distress, A formal explanation and accountability for this gross negligence,
Utterly unacceptable experience with SpiceJet on Flight SG269 from Bengaluru to Mumbai. Originally scheduled for 10:35 PM, the flight is first rescheduled to 2:40 AM.

We are then told the issue is fixed and departure will happen in 15 minutes. Thirty minutes later, the same technical issue persists,
We regret the inconvenience caused and are operating additional flights to accommodate affected passengers,
