Do you really need to call Go First?
Experienced travelers always use self-service options online or through the airline app first to see whether the problem can be solved without the help of an agent over the phone. For example, there’s no need to contact Go First customer service if you just want to check the status of your booking, change the date of your flight, or cancel your trip – you can do this by visiting Manage Booking section of Go airlines‘s website (you will need booking confirmation number – PNR. and passenger’s name to log in).
Before contacting Go airlines it’s always a good idea to check their help pages such as:
… or problem-specific pages with answers to the most common questions you may have:
Requesting a refund
If you want to request a refund, it can be done via the flygofirst.com website. First, you need to cancel your flight by logging in to the Manage Booking section of the website. You’ll then have the option to request a refund. Make sure to get familiar with the airline’s Cancelation Policy.
If you need help with a reservation made not through the Go First website/app but with a third-party such as OTA, travel agent, etc – try contacting their sales office for quick assistance.

Alternative methods to contact the airline

call centers | phone numbers by country |
---|---|
regional offices | airline sales offices near you |
emails | useful email addresses |
email form | feedback or complaint via email form |
online chat | customer service via live chat |
customer service via WhatsApp | |
social media | Twitter and Facebook for direct contact |

Media Center | updates and news from the airline |
How do I talk to a live person?
Basically, you’ll be talking to a real person every time you call one of Go airlines‘ phone numbers. There may be an automatic IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system interacting with you through voice or touch-tone dialing at the beginning though – it will make sure you will reach a company’s department adequated to your issue. This is also the system that puts you on hold if the lines are busy – but rest assured that on the other side there is always a human operator you can talk to.
Calling the Go airlines‘s reservation office near you is by far the best way to talk to a real person. Airline offices answer significantly fewer calls than the main call center, so they can provide their customers direct assistance over the phone, without waiting times.
Live chat is slightly different as there are many technologies (including AI and machine learning) that airlines can implement to get a “chatbot operator” experience. It is basically the software you interact with on the webchat that can recognize the meaning of the sentences you type as well as mimic human speech. But even there, a live person (part of Go airlines‘s customer service team) is available. Try typing “talk to human”, “live agent”, or something similar to tell the chatbot that your problem requires contact with a real person.
Similar to live chat are the social media messaging systems such as Twitter DM and Facebook Messenger. You may find yourself talking to a bot at the beginning, but there is also a real operator waiting on the other side to help customers solve non-obvious issues.
Lastly, email is basically handled by humans. You may receive an auto reply right after you send the message to one of the Go airlines‘s email addresses (it will be marked as such), but after some time you can expect a reply from a real person.
Go First call center waiting times
Go First (like most airlines) employs a certain number of staff in its call centers – sufficient to serve customers under standard conditions. If these conditions change (flight cancellations due to lockdowns, peak travel times such as school holidays, etc.) the airline usually puts more resources into customer service. Unfortunately, these extra measures are not always adequate for the situation, so Go First‘ waiting times occasionally can increase.
You issue hasn’t been resolved? You can call back and speak to another agent (she may have more experience or training) or ask to talk with a supervisor.
According to our tests, the average wait time for the Go First call center was between 15 and 75 minutes – depending on when we were calling. However, at times when the airline gets hit with an unprecedented wave of calls amid mass cancellations, even corporate clients with the GoSME status are facing lengthy waits. With that in mind, we’ve found that some times are certainly better than others to call customer support:
Best times to call customer care
To decrease on-hold times, try to call Go First at off-peak times during the middle of the week (Tuesday to Thursday). Basically, the earlier in the day you call, the less you’ll have to wait. Experienced customers suggest that the best time to call is early in the morning from 4am to 7am (call center time zone) for 24/7 hotlines or just right as the call center opens. Late hours on weekends can increase the chance for your call to be answered promptly.
Consider dialing a foreign call center as a workaround to reduce your holding times.
Direct messages (DM) sent to Go First social media channels often get a response and solution within minutes. If you are experiencing long waiting times when calling helpline, try to contact the airline directly on Twitter or Facebook.

Go First phone numbers
Here’s an important tip if you are experiencing long waiting times at the Go airlines‘s call center:
Instead of competing for time with the call center in India jump the line by dialing the ones in other countries – Thailand, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, etc. International customer service can handle your booking just the same as the main call center. Travelers report that the Go First helpline in Dubai (+971-42112550) has much shorter wait times – sometimes just a few minutes.

Consider using Internet phone services like Google Voice, Skype, Talkatone, or Viber to call Go First phone numbers when you are overseas to avoid high rates.
Go First WhatsApp number
Most airlines have still not adopted WhatsApp as a means of communicating with their customers. Regrettably, Go First is among them. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when the airline starts providing a WhatsApp number for its customer service.
Booking through a travel agent can be a game-changer!
If you hate dealing with airlines’ customer care, consider using a travel agent to book your flights. They can remove all that drama from your booking experience. Good travel agents have “air teams” behind them (who have relationships with airlines), often work via a bigger agency, or with support of incredibly strong networks and connections.
When an airline cancels a flight or makes a change to your itinerary, travel agents have the power to handle this for you, on your behalf. They don’t even need to speak to the airline in most cases, since they have access to the backend of a booking system and are permitted to make changes to your reservation. Sometimes, they can even “bend” the rules.
The best thing: you’ll typically pay the same price for the flight ticket. Commissions made by agents generally come from the airline side, not from the customer side.
Go First email addresses
Generally, Go First doesn’t provide any e-mail addresses for its customer service (just an email form for feedback). However, some local branches and ticketing offices around the world allow their customers to contact them via e-mail. You can find a list of Go First regional email addresses below:
Country | Go First Email |
---|---|
Bangladesh | Gofirst@Saimonair.com |
Kuwait | sales@goair-gsakw.com |
Maldives | goair@voyagesmaldives.com |
Nepal | pratikmanandhar@rrgroup.com.np |
Oman | goairres.mct@mezoontravel.com |
Saudi Arabia | goairdmm@arjaa.com |
Thailand | goairctobkk@ltu-asia-as.com |
UAE | goairauh@safar.ae / goairdoh@cleopatratravel.net / goairdxb@alnaboodah.com |

Support via live chat
Go First provides very limited support via live chat (online chat on the website) for its customers. To access the webchat, visit click the “Ask G8” chat icon located at the bottom of the page. G8 is a “Smart Virtual Assistant” – a personified chatbot that only offers automatic answers to simple questions.
It seems that currently there is no way to talk to a human (someone from Go First customer service team) via live chat. You’d need to use a different approach for that – by visiting the company’s Facebook or Twitter profile and chatting with their live agent via Facebook Messenger or Twitter DM.
Message Go airlines directly
Getting help from Go First over the phone often means long waits. So here’s our advice: before you start calling the helpline, try to get a quick fix by contacting them via social media channels. Many travelers are reporting that they get a quicker response by sending a direct message (DM) to Go airlines about their issues. Most large airlines have teams of social media specialists, and in our experience, there’s no faster or easier way to get an issue solved.
To contact Go airlines support on Twitter, visit their @GoFirstairways profile, then click the envelope icon to send a direct message.
To contact Go airlines on Facebook, visit facebook.com/GOFIRST, then look for the Send Message button – it opens the Facebook Messenger window, where you can chat with the airline staff.
Never share personal details on Facebook public wall, or on Twitter feed. Always use the private Send Message button on Facebook or Direct Message function on Twitter to contact the airline.
When it comes to Twitter there’s one more trick to get in touch with the airline faster: mention @GoFirstairways in a tweet about your issue. Go airlines team will often notice it immediately, ask you for a direct message, and respond privately. It’s a method we recommend if your issue is particularly urgent.

How to file a formal complaint?
Sometimes you may wish to formally file a complaint with the hope that someone will address your concerns quickly. Delayed or lost baggage, booking cancellations, problems with getting a refund, excessive fees or charges, etc. are some of the issues you may want to complain about to Go First.
To file a complaint you should contact the Go First Customer Relations department by filling out the online feedback form. You should receive a response within a few working days.
If you are unsatisfied with how Go First settles your complaint, you can contact the Airline Customer Advocate (ACA) body in your country. The ACA works as “the ombudsman” (an official appointed to investigate individuals’ complaints against a company) to help you resolve problematic issues or concerns with an airline and it provides a free and independent service to airline customers.
For example, if you live in the United States, you can file a complaint to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Aviation Consumer Protection Division. In the United Kingdom, you can lodge a complaint directly with AviationADR – a dispute resolution scheme approved by the Civil Aviation Authority. Please note that it may take up to 90 days for the ombudsman to resolve your complaint.
