Hi @AirAsiaIndia this is really confusing. So if I book this ticket, where will I really go? And where will I leave from? pic.twitter.com/wJkmDtaqJT

As shown in the screenshot, the destination and arrival terminals are very confusing. Instead of proper names of his departure and destination places, those mention Bengaluru beside the names. It looks like his journey starts from Hyderabad, Bengaluru to Bengaluru, Kolkata.

Also, there are no similarities between the airport codes and the airport names. Under HYD, the airport mentioned is Kempegowda International Airport, and for Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, the code is BLR. All these glitches are surely confusing and to resolve them, Auditya Venkatesh shared this on Twitter.
The Airline Reacted To His Tweet!
AirAsia came to the rescue and replied to the tweet by Auditya Venkatesh. They responded with “Hi Auditya, there might be a technical glitch. Kindly refresh the page and do the fresh booking.” Check the AirAsia response here.

The passenger again tweeted about how the technical glitch did not stop even after refreshing the page. He refreshed again and again but the results were the same all the time. Due to a last-minute change, he ended up booking the flight ticket. Take a look at the tweet here.

The fact that it’s a glitch is obvious. It did the same thing again, it was to edit an existing booking via the chrome browser on an Android phone. It still keeps showing the same thing. I still went ahead and booked it, because it was a last minute change. Fingers crossed
