Twitter Reactions: Sachin Tendulkar gets angry at British Airways

Twitterati were visibly angry and shocked at the casual approach by the airline and expressed anger on social media. Sachin, on his part, expressed his outburst. A usually calm character, Sachin was disappointed with the services.

Sachin posted on Twitter that he was ‘angry, disappointed and frustrated’ with British Airways after the wait-listed tickets of his family members were not confirmed despite the availability of seats.

He was also angry at the luggage being deposited at the wrong destination and the authorities not showing enough concern about it.

Apart from all this, the right-handed batsman, who is currently part of the Cricket All Stars in USA, complained about the airlines’ ‘don’t care attitude’.

The drama was unwrapped when Tendulkar, who is in the U.S. to play in the All-Stars Cricket League, tweeted about his family’s travel issues on the British Airways flight.

“Angry Disappointed and Frustrated.. #BAdserviceBA Family member’s Waitlisted ticket not confirmed despite seats being available.

“And luggage being tagged by @British_Airways to wrong destination and don’t care attitude!,” Tendulkar wrote on his twitter handle.

Shortly after Tendulkar’s tweet, the British Airways replied, “@sachin_rt We’re sorry to hear this Sachin, could you please DM us your baggage ref, full name and address so we can look into this for you?.”

After this tweet, all hell broke loose on social media as Tendulkar fans were in no mood to forgive the airlines for their casual approach

Even former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah took to twitter as a Sachin fan.

“Dear @British_Airways try Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, India. I’m sure this is enough for the postal service/courier company here,” Omar wrote on his twitter handle.

Dear @British_Airways try Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, India. I'm sure this is enough for the postal service/courier company here. @sachin_rt

The don't know who Sachin Tendulkar is.
They don't know where his luggage is.
In both cases, British Airways is clueless about VIPs.

Now I'm not sure who is suffering the most brutal assault… British Airways or the NZ bowling attack…

Can't imagine how bad @British_Airways service must be. They managed to do what 24 years of sledging didn't – make @sachin_rt lose his cool.
