I am writing to express my concern regarding the lack of assistance provided to my mother during her recent journey with your airline. She traveled from India to Halifax, with a connecting flight in Toronto, and had a very difficult experience.
Prior to the flight, I called your customer service to request wheelchair assistance for my mother, who was traveling with a 10-month-old baby. The representative took all the relevant information, including the fact that she was traveling with an infant, and assured me that assistance would be provided at Toronto airport. I also received a confirmation of this arrangement. I informed my mother that she would receive help with security checks and finding her next gate in Toronto, so she would not need to worry.
However, when my mother arrived at Toronto airport and asked the crew members for assistance, she was told that they could not help her simply because she was traveling with a baby. She requested help multiple times, but each time, the crew refused. As a result, she had an extremely difficult time navigating the airport and managing everything on her own.Crew members were very rude and unprofessional.
My primary concern is: why was I not informed during my initial call that the staff would refuse assistance for my mother because she was traveling with a baby? This is a critical issue, as I relied on your airline’s commitment to support her during the journey, especially considering her challenging circumstances.
