Actor-dancer Rachana Narayanankutty shared that she too had experienced a similar situation a while ago, and the solution the airline group suggested was giving her another seat. “So sorry to hear this… many years before I too had this kind of experience from another airline and the response was the same as “given another seat”. Hope the authorities would address this issue seriously,” Rachana said.
