With my work, I travel a lot and I use Instalocate to ease the usual travel woes. Instalocate is a savvy, AI-powered travel assistant that’s really user-friendly and does everything. It keeps me informed on flight timings and delays, weather, cab bookings. The best part? All this is without the hassles of downloading a new app. It works through Facebook Messenger, at no cost. You can check it out on Facebook Messenger (me.me/instalocate).
But what really knocked my socks off was that Instalocate recently got me flight delay compensation of $634.53, that I had absolutely no idea was due to me. Instalocate informed me that I had a valid compensation claim, and worked the entire process without me having to lift a finger!
This is what happened to me — I booked a ticket on Delta Airlines - Atlanta — Amsterdam — New Delhi. The flight was operated by KLM (KL 0624), for 8th Jan 2017. An hour into the flight, the plane had to turn back due to a technical snag! What a way to start a journey! I disembarked the plane in a confused state and spent 14 hours in growing frustration, with no alternate flight in sight. Many phone calls, cries and arguments later, I finally reached my destination in an ‘alternate’ British Airways flight, having lost two days of a short leave, and a great deal of ‘inner peace’.
Now, despite my frequent flying, I wasn’t aware of my rights in case of a flight delay. Delta had booked me through KLM originally, so trying to hold either accountable in any way was looking near-impossible. I shared the details with Instalocate with zero expectations and forgot about it, having learned the hard way that airlines have nerves of steel! They won’t part with their money easily!
The team at Instalocate dealt with the ‘palming off and washing hands off’ approach the Airlines had adopted. They claimed, processed, followed up, and kept me updated on the claim status with super-prompt communication. Instalocate employs a “no win no fee” claims’ policy and charged me nothing up front, either.
Boy! Was I surprised and thrilled when, two months later, I received a $634.53 check from Delta, with a $100 gift card to make things pretty! Not that money can compensate for the heartburn, but it does ease the bitterness in the mouth a bit! Don’t let the Airline dodge you out of any money they owe you — avail the services of Instalocate — these guys get the job done!
