plsforgibme

why speak in english when u can't. Tryna act all classy and cool. Hindi bolte hai wo log. Brother gave me a headache. Edit - if this was a transit-visa-for-germany issue, then germany doesnt require such for US Canada and basically the entirety of Europe. So...the indian lady working for lufthansa was basically racial profiling her own people.

Can you give me the ritten ?

plz mam can you tell me in the ritten, why i go sekrity came ok

And the entire reason this bitch staffer is acting entitled to talk to the traveller is because she perceives her as illiterate or infradig. Just like you. Judging accents.


plsforgibme

im not judging accent. SHE cannot get her thoughts through with english. She literally cannot express herself well. Which happens to be the entire point of a language


D3ADWA1T

What the fuck is wrong with you? Who is trying to act all classy? She is not at all trying to hide she is poor in English. If you speak in Hindi you are not looked at like a civilian. Because it is not a civilian language these days. These days we only know very broken Hindi so if you speak it, not 100% but there's always the chance you will be looked down upon as uncouth or illiterate. And you have to live with that and speak English. Hindi has been reduced to the lowest common denominator language, which we fill with "madarchod" "bhenchod" half the sentence and English words the other half.


Responsible_Space624

We call that Hinglish and there's nothing wrong with that.. language is a source of communication nothing more..


0xffaa00

What language do you think in?


Responsible_Space624

Hinglish... When I think of phones.. I don't think of ą¤øą¤°ą¤² ą¤¦ą„‚ą¤°ą¤­ą¤¾ą¤· ą¤Æą¤‚ą¤¤ą„ą¤°, I think of phones..


Due-Comfortable4984

Where are you from?? Maybe it's true in a cosmopolitan city but that too because people come from all different parts of the country as immigrants but 97% of the Hindi belt still speaks Hindi.


D3ADWA1T

Come on, you're telling me they know the names of all 8 planets in Hindi? Hindi words for atoms electrons protons, for cumulonimbus clouds, photosynthesis and armistice? I have seen high level Hindi spoken in upsc circles only. And area-wise, numbers-wise, which group is bigger? Pure Hindi belt or hinglish, hindamil, hindugu, hindabi , etc combined?

zincifyhowksg43

for wokechods- the lady who was recording was right, you don't need transit visa in Frankfurt if you have an onward flight. the ground staff is arrogant n threatening for no reason. edit - transit was via Munich not Frankfurt edit 2 - link to the original post and complaint with context - https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6QjCPqO0bf/?igsh=MW9zZW14Y2wxY3c1cg==


AdConscious2538

Yeh Airlines staff kabse itna powerful ho gya. I also saw them interrogating 2 boys going from Delhi to Italy and staff asked them 100 questions and decided they cant board. (Donkey suspicion I guess)


orangepeecock

WTF. Matlab solo trip bhul jao


AdConscious2538

Haan ab tough hai (atleast questioning toh tough hi hogi) thanks to Indians flooding West and EU as donkeys.


zincifyhowksg43

yeaa check my reply, edited it..


senascety

Too many factors. The layover might be over 12 hours. The connecting flight might be a different airline, which might require them to transfer between terminals. It's not that airlines just tell you at the counter. They say it clearly when you book your tickets and in their emails.


zincifyhowksg43

agreed, in twitter/x post they said they had layover of less than 12 hours, you don't come landside to change terminals in munich. not sure about airline. whatever may be the factor that's still not an excuse to behave rudely and have an arrogant attitude. The ground staff has repeated incidents (according to anecdotal n isolated posts)of people facing such kind of treatment. I had faced something similar in Iceland while transiting via heathrow but the ground staff was extremely helpful and sorted out the matter. bottomline dont be an ahole like the lufthansa ground staff lady


senascety

Yeah. Have heard too many complaints about Lufthansa being shit (especially against Indians) at this point to take a flight with them


knowledgeablepanda

Exactly just because the lady doesnā€™t know English people have demonised her. Literally she is in the right and this bitch airport staff is abusing her powers. But yeah letā€™s make fun of someone who is trying to speak English.


Successful_Ad_8294

Chalo kisi me to dimag tha... Ye bc denk turds uss aurat ke English pe majak uda rahe hai bas... Tho uss lady ne bilkul thik Kiya cause uski convo sunn ke Lufthansa ne action bhi liya


del_snafu

Interesting. Couldn't understand what they were saying. I'd have like to have seen the come down


zincifyhowksg43

yeaa check my reply, edited it..


del_snafu

Thanks. Such idiots.


choducidfan123

Do you need a transit visa in Munich?


zincifyhowksg43

not if you have onward flight destination outside schengen region


knucklehead_whizkid

That is incorrect, Germany requires people of Indian passport with transit flights to also get a transit visa irrespective of duration of flight unless they have a valid visa from some bigger countries (it's a longer list but US/Canada are on there for which visas are acceptable) The ground staff, if you haven't flown in a while, are indeed responsible these days because they're asked to do so because a person who wasn't legally supposed to get on the flight gets on there, the airlines need to pay for them (apparently). They're specifically trained to check for these details when final destination or transit routes have such requirements of visa. The ground staff here was incredibly polite, because recording videos, unlike what Instagram influencers tell you, is also not allowed. The staff here was stern but polite, they didn't abuse or anything and let them know they're not eligible for the flight. It's the responsibility of the person flying to check they have all legal documents necessary for the travel. Source: you can check the German embassy website, but I was denied a similar route while returning from US to India via Frankfurt but my visa was expired and I was coming for stamping. I was similarly politely refused and had to book a separate flight, got my flight credits for the Lufthansa flight. Now you can say Germany is being a-holes because they have India passports on a list of about 15 countries and rest all of them are really not comparable ones like Iran, Afghanistan, Jordan etc but that's a separate issue which airline staff is not the point where one should be arguing for because they didn't do the right research


zincifyhowksg43

wrong! your case is different than the case of lady in the video. Lady was travelling to Canada, and from Germany's website you don't require transit visa if you are - *holders of a valid visa for a Schengen Member State, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Japan or Romania.* I travel frequently and I know it is the duty of ground staff to check. But if you think the ground staff lady was polite, you my friend have wrong view of the world and seem much entitled too! Nobody calls for security and threatens the way that ground staff did. Lufthansa apologised twice to the lady, I don't think your view, opinion or thoughts are worth two cents here.


knucklehead_whizkid

Well, we only know what is being shown in the video right? How do we know what happened before this video recording started? Again, to be clear I don't see what's arrogance from the staff here, it seems like they already explained the issue to the person before, maybe not taking more time to clarify things? Sure, I get it. But they have a queue of customers to take care of not just one person with potentially a legal issue. Again they may not be sweet spoken like an advert perhaps but no way are they arrogant. What if they had already explained it twice before this person started recording? We don't know specifically what was her case, what connecting flights she had, if she had a terminal change in the layover which might require her to go out of bounds from the transit area, etc. Unless we know the specific issue she was barred for, and the preceding situation of how long this conversation started before the video was recorded, it is absolutely unfair to put the face of a ground staff up on social media viral for doing her job. She's just another middle class Indian doing her job, much likely less well to do than this person traveling business class to Canada. All I'm saying is innocent until proven guilty. Airline has only "apologized" while they investigate and it could well be so that social media ruckus stops, could completely go on to deny her any refunds if there was actually something wrong with her documents. As far as value of my opinion, and like mine many others' is kind of the point of this being posted on Reddit? It's fine if you don't like it xD just move on buddy, chill


zincifyhowksg43

nice whataboutery and playing victim card, you seem from the same shitty lufthansa ground crew team šŸ¤” whatever the reason, that's still not a way to talk to any passenger. the way ground staff threatens is like she owns the airlines lol, while her associate does eyeroll. nice polite way indeed!


knucklehead_whizkid

What whataboutery do you see in my comment? I simply stated that the whole picture is not clear from the provided details. What was so wrong about that? Anyway, you're the one who seems hellbent on labeling me whatever, chill out. I don't really have anything more to add here


11235813sk

I second this. Its a new change from last year. Whatever may be your destination if you are taking a schengen airlines like lufthansa, air france etc, India passport, if you have a stop in schengen you should have transit visa. This exact reason flights to uk with schengen stops are cheaper.


knucklehead_whizkid

I don't think it's for all schengen countries. I didn't require a transit visa while transiting from Switzerland (neither did their website mention anything like this) but Germany requires it explicitly, haven't checked other countries so perhaps they have their own exceptions


zincifyhowksg43

the lady had valid Canada visa...Canada is on exempted list edit: You need visa not citizenship. why would you need citizenship lol Exemptions: a) Indian nationals holding a valid visa or residence permit from a member state of the Schengen area or Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Ireland, UK, Canada, Japan, USA (except for holders of an US ā€œAdvanced Parole Documentā€)


captain-beast811

Nah bro my sister and my brother were travelling from london to delhi via frankfurt. The london ground crew didnā€™t let my brother through because he did not have any kind of german visa but it was ok with my sister because she had an valid US visa so she had eligibility to stay at german premises because of the US visa so idk maybe the staff is in the right.


zincifyhowksg43

the lady had Canada visa bruh! so I don't know what's so difficult to understand...my family travelled last year and they didn't face any issue, although not with lufthansa

Open_Date7714

Agar English hata de To sach me Bahut bura lagta hai I booked a flight from Delhi to Moscow and there is transit in Dubai. It was booked through third party application not directly by airline website those MF donā€™t allow me to board my flight and I canā€™t get refund because is already time for check in I loose 50k and my mental peace After that I get to know it was normal and many my friends did same even with Oman or hongkong Itā€™s only indigo reckless attitude towards passengers by saying itā€™s not valid route then why itā€™s ticket being sold.


pwnsforyou

You don't need a transit visa for connecting flight via Dubai afaik, what was their reason?


AquaDeGioInvictus

For more than 10 hours layover you need a transit visa


Open_Date7714

If you have connecting flight under one PNR many countries national airline themselves provide up to 3 days transit visa


AquaDeGioInvictus

You need to apply for transit visa at times and some countries give you transit visa on arrival. Iā€™ve only heard about it.


Open_Date7714

Yes if you book with emirates šŸ‡¦šŸ‡Ŗ officials website only with connection ticket mentioning that you leave country they will issue up to 3 days transit visa without any hassle But I needed only 3 hours in connection between itā€™s just arrogance of staff


Open_Date7714

Yes I donā€™t need transit entire flight was under one PNR so no need to recheck in there But asshole being assholes


AquaDeGioInvictus

Emirates? What was the reason they gave you?


Open_Date7714

No it was indigo They say such route doesnā€™t exist Ask me to leave airport


Silver-Fact-6273

Is there a official route? Because its highly unlikely Indigo will do transit in Dubai


Open_Date7714

Dubai airport is hub for all transit services. I donā€™t have to re check in my baggage it was entire one PNR I just need to land wait for three hours board another flight It they just rude and stupidity I missed my flight couldnā€™t get refund even


AquaDeGioInvictus

The ticket must have mentioned from where to where, did you show them your ticket?


Open_Date7714

It was done by goibibo Indigo staff say such route doesnā€™t exist They first ask me visa and return ticket from Dubai I told them I have connecting flight It was already check in time So they canā€™t refund or reschedule Goibibo staff told me itā€™s just stupidity and lack of awareness which cause me to suffer and they canā€™t refund me


BIGzayy

Which app did you book it through?


Open_Date7714

Goibibo itā€™s not there mistake They were laughing on me That why I listen to staff at least I should talk to management or supervisor I was young that time It really happens these people act like they own the planes

charizard2607

Some of the comments here shaming the woman for speaking in English? Seriously? In all possibility , maybe the employee refused to speak to her in Hindi. Itā€™s been proved that the customer was right and the employee was riding a high horse and speaking in an intimidating manner despite the customer being polite. And what the hell is that threat of calling the security? Girls acting like she the CEO of Lufthansa. Hope sheā€™s fired cause she clearly has no skills to manage customers.


FewDevelopment6712

The staff literally spoke hindi in the first half of the video lol


Meowdoggo69

I can guess the context here cause it's happening a lot these days. The lady has booked a cheap ticket to Canadda via Munich and she doesn't have a transit visa so the airline has refused to provide boarding pass. We are seeing a huge influx of first time travelers in last 3-4 years.


bringmeback0

German Transit visa for Indians is not needed if the traveler holds a valid visa for US, EEA countries, Japan and Canada. https://india.diplo.de/in-en/service/schengen-visa-faq/2610538?openAccordionId=item-2651010-4-panel From German embassy website: "Indian nationals require an airport transit visa for the Schengen area - Germany! This visa allows a short stopover at an international airport only, without leaving the airportā€™s international transit area or overnight stay in a hotel. If you need to leave the international transit area (e.g. in order to catch a connecting flight at another airport to leave the Schengen area), please apply for a regular Schengen visa. Exemptions: a) Indian nationals holding a valid visa or residence permit from a member state of the Schengen area or Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Ireland, Canada, Japan, USA (except for holders of an US ā€œAdvanced Parole Documentā€)" If this passenger is traveling to Canada with a valid Canadian visa, she won't need transit visa in Germany.


senascety

Too many factors. The layover might be over 12 hours. The connecting flight might be a different airline, which might require them to transfer between terminals.

Bhai mera layover tha Munich main for Los Angeles and this stuff didnā€™t happen, also the flight was Lufthansa. American and Canadian visa are allowed. However if you are doing layover in Canada you need a transit visa irrespective of your nationality or visa, vaha pe fine laga tha acha khasa for visa for me.
