Jet Airways

Advantages: value
Disadvantages: No drinks round

...change over in Mumbai. Jet airways seem to have a new fleet of aircraft, all aircraft are clean and well equipped, check in is effortless and customer service at the airport is fantastic. TV in seat with large choice of movies and some games with the usual cheap headphones and two prong plug Tip:(bring an adapter and use your own headphones) One strange thing though, no drinks round. A free drink was available but only at the time of the meal. Two ...
...these guys I think the trick is to ping your call button for a drink and not wait for the trolly but I didn’t see anyone doing this. Do take some snacks on board. Curry for breakfast shocked a few people onboard. Overall though I would use Jet airways again. ...

Review of Jet Airways

Trials and tribulations of a trip to India

Advantages: An amazing experience for anyone interested in travel. India has it all and more.
Disadvantages: The visa is only valid for 6 months. Otherwise I would have stayed for 12.

...service. The second was with Air India Express, and it was dire. The staff, as hard as they were trying were having a very hard time of it, as anyone who has been some time in India will testify. Indians are as well as being lovely people, are noisy, impatient, ill-disciplined and can be down right hard work to deal with......... Makes me laugh!!! First we had a security scare whereby someone was refused permission to fly and had to have bags removed. ...
...same company, and on a jolly to Bkk) began to argue over each others' right to sit in their various seats. Then a couple of bright sparks amongst them, decided to threaten to sue everyone but me on the plane for taking their seats. It was incredible. All this construed to make us an hour late in taking off, by which time the man who started the arguments said the man who was originally in his seat could return to it as he was not worried about sitting ...

Review of Air India - AIC

Satisfied Without The Vodka

Advantages: Good food, friendly crew, gnerally punctual, unique touches
Disadvantages: no menu, otherwise no disadvantages.

...Who are Air Sahara? Let me start from the beginning. Until the early 1990s, domestic air travel in India was restricted to just the government-owned Indian Airlines (with Air India operating international flights). When the government changed the rules to allow private airlines, several started up. Now Air Sahara is the second-largest private airline in India. Air Sahara operate to 26 destinations in India, including all the main cities. Their ...
...half a dozen times on Air Sahara in 2005, mostly on domestic routes, both on the 737 and the Canadair Regional Jet, and also one international flight. Booking As yet, Air Sahara don't have a "book online" system, so you have to book over the phone, at one of their offices or via a travel agent, or of course if you are flying into India, you can book them with your international flights. The website does offer a number of novel ways to buy the tickets ...

Review of Air Sahara

The Old Lady of Indian Flying

Advantages: Good food, some nice people, clean planes
Disadvantages: Punctuality, airport services, some old planes

...bad things to say about Indian Airlines. They tut, shake their head, roll their eyes. Even cringe. For many years India had just two airline, both state-run: Air India, who did the international flying, and Indian Airlines who did the domestic flights. This resembled the old days in the UK where BOAC flew longhaul and BEA flew within Europe. The British government realised this wasn't working back in the 1970s, but it continues in India today. The ...
...to it? I've flown with Indian Airlines several times over the past six months, from the Gulf into India and within India. There have been some inconsistencies, but mostly they are quite comparable. They still have the widest network within India, operating to places that others don't want to. BOOKING Bookings can be done through the website, for registered users. The website does provide quite good schedule information so I imagine that booking on ...

Review of Indian Airlines

NO to TAP, never again

Advantages: good food, good on air service
Disadvantages: delays, very bad on ground services, bad and wrong informations

...over Lisbon Our experience with TAP was actually pretty bad. We booked direct flights from Stockholm to Lisbon. Before that we had to come to Stockholm first from another town of Sweden and in Lisbon we changed flight again with TAP to go to Funchal. Aproximatly 1 month before the trip (when prices where already very expensive for flights to funchal) we got the information that our flight back will be led over Oslo. this ment for us, we will reach ...
...the street infront of the TAP office. So the day we traveled home, we waited there already 20minutes before the bus started...and waited ... and waited.... and waited... But no bus came. So we had to take this very expensive taxi instead. summarized, I do NOT recommend to anybody this Company!!! Its a very very bad service - at least on the ground. The service in the plane and all can be as nice as it is, the things around are just crappy. We spent ...
