Spice Jet

Spice Jet is certainly one of the most popular of ‘no-frills’ airlines in India. Not only does it offer cheap tickets to destinations across the country, it also delivers when it comes to timely performance. This is one airline that has managed to clock one of the highest on-time flights in the country; which is a great thing. Considering the lack of punctuality even in expensive airlines, the performance of Spice Jet is truly delightful. Flights usually take off on time and arrive on time, unless natural problems start.

The check-in staff at Spice Jet counters in airports is usually extremely polite, helpful and friendly. There will usualy be ground staff around to help first- time fliers as well. This is perhaps because Spice Jet knows that a lot of its clients have traveled by train all their lives and may need help at airports. It is also something that makes it stand out from the crowd. Flight attendants are also warm and helpful; which is how they are supposed to be. Spice Jet does not offer free food or beverages (except water) on its flight, which is very understandable considering that it is a low- cost airline. But for people who are hungry and looking for a bite, prices are quite cheap on the flight.

Spice Jet may not offer 5 star treatment as Kingfisher does, but it offers comfortable flying to destinations across the country at dirt- cheap prices. What more can a frequent flier travelling on business ask for?

Kingfisher Airlines

Kingfisher is one of those airlines which live by the notion of ‘Living it up’. It is not for nothing that Dr. Vijay Mallya, its owner, is called the ‘King of good times’. Kingfisher is truly an airline that lives up to its image. It delivers great on- time performance, great service and the little frills that really matter when one does not mind paying a wee bit more for a great flying experience.

It would be wrong to think that Kingfisher is a low- cost airline; because it is certainly not. Economy seats too are not exactly in the low- cost range considering the dirt- cheap tickets doled out by ‘no- frills’ airlines flying domestic routes in the country. But it certainly delivers. Seats are very comfortable and there’s enough legroom for everyone. The ground staff and the cabin crew are extremely friendly, polite and helpful. They work really hard to impress the fliers and the effort shows through when each flier is greeted by their names during landing. The food quality is one of the best in India. What’s more it’s free! Beverages are offered more than once during flights and there are choices of meals one can choose from. It is a pleasure for people who love Indian food to have such great meals on flights. The in- flight entertainment system is great too, with a good choice of channels, films and documentaries being offered.

Overall, Kingfisher is one of the best ways to fly in India.

Jet Lite

Jet Lite was previously known as Air Sahara after it was bought over by Jet Airlines. It is a low- cost airline meant for people who want to fly but don’t want to spend a huge chunk of their salaries for it. It is a decent airline, though quite functional, but that is something that can be expected from it since it proclaims it is ‘no-frills’. The services are quite as expected from low- cost airlines and nothing exceptional is usually noticed.

The ground staff and the fight attendants are all efficient and know their jobs well; though they are not overly- friendly, as is the case with expensive airlines. Aircrafts are clean and well- looked after. Flights are on time. However, everything one eats on the flight has to be bought; but that is okay considering the cheap flight tickets. The snacks are priced reasonably and are of decent quality. In- flight magazines are provided to fliers.

A lot of fliers complain about the shopping that happens on flights of Jet Lite as it is basically useless. Also, the official website of the airlines could do with a face- lift considering that it is not very use- friendly. Another thing that there have been complaints about is that seats are cramped and it becomes difficult to sit for a long time because of the lack of legroom. Perhaps, Jet Lite could look into it and come up with solutions.

Overall, experience of flying with Jet Lite is mostly good.

Jet Airways

This is an airline which flies both domestic ad international routes. Fliers flying domestic routes have given mixed responses when it came to describing their experience with Jet Airways. It is a mid- range airline with mid- range priced tickets which are not exactly rock- bottom. When it started out, Jet Airways had received a lot of adulation and accolades for being a great airline, but it seems that it has not been able to keep up to it. The reason for this may be many, but the buying-out of Air Sahara may be a case to point.

Anyways, though most flights usually depart and arrive on time, delays are being reported more and more frequently. Also, a lot of passengers have complained about the lack of helpfulness on the part of flight attendants on Jet Lite, which is something that should not be ignored. Flight attendants are not attentive and seem to have nothing to do. There are times when the bell is rung and no fight attendant arrives to know what the issue is about. What’s more, food quality is not good too.

However, there are good things about Jet Airways that ought to be noted. The official website is very user- friendly and booking air tickets is a cake walk. Also the staff at most check- in counters is helpful and friendly. Overall, an average experience of flying with Jet Airways is all one can be assured of. Perhaps its time for the airline to gear up and make itself noticed.

Go Air

Go Air is a low- cost airline which was started as the answer to the middle class’s travelling problems. Low- cost it is but whether or not it has actually eased the problems of people is a different story altogether.

Go Air belongs to the Wadia family, which is one of the Bombay Dyeing fame. They have managed to create an airline which offers the cheapest tickets to any given location and great services to boot. Go Air definitely wins hands- down when it come to prices of tickets. The services are quite good too. Staff at check- in counters has been trained to be polite and respectful to customers, which is something that cannot be honestly said about other airlines in India doing the domestic routes. Flight attendants too are extremely polite and smartly- dressed, which makes travelling with this airlines all the more pleasurable. The truth about flying in India is that most people using flights frequently look for nothing other than polite behaviour from ground and flight attendants. They are not looking for free food or beverages (as some airlines like to believe), but a flight that is pleasant and uneventful. Go Air gives it to them and that is the reason it is winning awards and accolades.

A complaint made about Go Air is that it frequently delays flights; but that is something that is decreasing day by day. Also, its official website could do with a revamp with an easier user interface and options for payment with a foreign credit card.

Air Deccan

Air Deccan is one of the popular ‘no- frills’ airlines in India. Being a cheap airline, one does not expect too much out of it in terms of free food and beverages. But if timely flights are the main concern, Air Deccan hardly, if ever, manages to disappoint. The main difference between this airline and other low- cost airlines flying domestic routes is that its CEO, Mr Gopinath, has a mission and tries his best to fulfill it.

Another great thing that needs to be pointed out about Air Deccan is that it flies to remote locations on a regular basis and what’s more, charges less than other domestic airlines.

What Air Deccan needs is something frequent fliers have been ranting about for some time now. Better customer service at the call centre is expected, since a lot of people call up to know the exact status of their flights. The official website of the airlines could also do with a revamp, especially considering the top class websites some domestic airlines in the country are equipped with. Since Kingfisher Airlines has recently bought a stake in Air Deccan, it is being expected that services are going to go for an overhaul, at least in some quarters.

Overall, Air Deccan is a decent airlines if one is looking to save money flying. It is perfect for those who would prefer travelling by train but wouldn’t like wasting the time involved. As long as one does not expect 5-star treatment, everything is going to be just fine.

Standby Tickets

Standby Tickets

It used to be that if you wanted to fly, standby tickets were by far the least expensive way you could travel. Airlines would offer very good deals on airfares to ensure that there were no empty seats on a plane. With fuel increasing in cost year by year, an unused airline seat wasn’t something any airline wanted. Thus, they offered standby tickets so that all the seats were taken.

Fly Standby Ticket

Old Airline Ticket In India

Standby tickets did not guarantee that you would have a seat on the flight of your choice, but you would eventually be seated on a plane headed to your destination. When a passenger did not show up or canceled their flight abruptly, the flight crew made an announcement asking for anyone with fly standby tickets to approach the counter. The empty seat was thus filled and it helped with the airline’s costs to make the flight.

There were some restrictions on fly standby tickets, of course. Passengers who had been bumped from other flights had priority after all the previously reserved seats had been filled. No stopovers were allowed on standby fares; you had to have a direct flight to your destination.
In the days before increased security, a person could merely show up at the ticket counter and ask for fly standby tickets. Nowadays, standby plane tickets usually cost as much as regular fares but allow you a little more time discretion. If you miss the flight you were scheduled for, you can be put on standby for the next flight if it has an available seat.

Fly Standby Tickets

Please Stand By

Standby tickets are making a comeback, though. With complicated scheduling requirements making fly standby tickets a liability instead of an asset for airlines, the practice was stopped for quite a few years, especially with the increased security guidelines. The skyrocketing cost of fuel, however, makes offering standby tickets more cost effective for airlines. If you should be able to get one of these fares, arrive very early to get your name at the top of the list. Avoid the days before or after holidays; on the holiday itself standby seats are more plentiful. On busy flight days it pays to show up for the first flight of the day when cancellations are more common.

The Indian Aviation Industry

The Indian aviation industry seems to be flourishing by the day, considering the rush of prospective investors into this arena and also taking into account the magnificent growth prospects.

Indian Aviation Industry

What Is The Future Of The Indian Aviation Industry?

If yesteryears witnessed only an elite class of travelers making use of air travel, the emergence of the new budget-airlines category have been welcomed with open arms by the cost-conscious ordinary person who wishes to reach his destination faster. Most airlines were quick to identify this growing trend and as a result there has been an exodus of investments in this lucrative sector with profits crossing all expectations.

The Indian airways industry has indeed taken a giant leap in the recent years, considering the fact that just a decade back, there were only around three airlines operating in India. In comparison, we have more than ten competitors in this growing sector today, each receiving its own unique share of the profits.
One of India’s all time favourite airline happens to be ‘Indian’, (Previously known as Indian Airlines, it changed its name to ‘Indian’ after a merger with Air India.) which is owned by the Government of India, and carries around 7.5 million passengers annually, churning out an enviable turnover of over US $ 1 billion. Other more recent entrants into this field includes Kingfisher airlines and Air Deccan which underwent a merger recently, Jet Airways, Air Sahara, Indigo, Go Air, Paramount Airways, etc which are actually competing heavily with one another to get a fair share of the market.

Kingfisher Airlines

Kingfisher Airlines

You see there is a lot of competition among indian airways carriers.
Speaking of competition, the newly developed concept of budget airlines which operates on an economy level, have become most advantageous to the average Indian railway traveler mainly because he can now reach his destination faster and at a reasonable cost too, thanks to the new economy trend adopted by certain airlines like Air Deccan which recently merged with Kingfisher. Accordingly, the passenger has the facility to book the tickets in advance and can avail of some excellent discount packages. The airlines sector has certainly succeeded in luring those travelers to take advantage of extremely low airfares which are actually a boon to many. Although the convenience factor may have to be compensated and the passenger will have to buy their own food and drink, this sort of gamble certainly seems to have paid off and there has been a tremendous growth in the popularity of the said system provided by the Indian airways. With the many mergers and acquisitions doing the round, like the Air Sahara – Jet Airways or the Kingfisher – Air Deccan ones, as well as a host of other airlines operating successfully in different sectors all over the country, it is indeed the travelers who stand to gain a lot by taking advantage of the low fares.

The Indian airways sector is also a valuable asset for the Indian tourism industry, with various airlines operating daily flights from different parts of the world. It is now possible for foreign tourists to visit our exotic land and that too at competitive rates thanks to the Indian aviation industry which frequently doles out attractive discount packages as well.
