Passenger Misses SpiceJet Flight After Last-Minute Preponement and Limited Notice
A SpiceJet passenger, Sarthak Choudhary, reached Mumbai airport two hours before his scheduled 11:20 PM flight to Delhi but was unable to board after the airline preponed the flight to 10:20 PM with only 35 minutes' notice. He reported security denying entry without explanation and long queues with limited staff at the ticket counter. Despite arriving on time, he was marked a no-show, prompting concerns over the airline's communication and ground management.
