A consumer commission in Bengaluru found British Airways guilty of deficiency in service after the airline refused to issue a boarding pass. The commission ordered British Airways to refund the original booking amount of Rs 1,38,945, plus Rs 25,000 in compensation and Rs 2,000 for litigation costs. The dispute arose after a passenger's WestJet flight was cancelled, requiring rerouting via Calgary.
