Also the air hostess seat is just next to those non-reclining seat and it is generally the first row next to the emergency window. So the best place to ask for( if you reach airport really early) are the window seats on the second row of emergency window. You have reclining seats, really good leg space, and great air hostess view(she would be sitting face to face to u).gavrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530365276921956337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762071188367961620.post-50699757546501968822011-08-06T11:10:04.746+05:302011-08-06T11:10:04.746+05:30A-O Teri to!

Be it British Airways (oh, they are known for their rudeness), or Kingfisher, or Air India. Imagine if the part of your JD was to hear angry passengers shouting sum of all their frustrations all day long, day after day. They become immunne to caring for such expeltives after some time :) Actually even after finding baggages no one thanks them (I tried doing that and that guy looked aghast :D)<br /><br />Someone from some airlines, might see this and rope me in for some freelance consulting :DNovocainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966300170391606736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762071188367961620.post-5439320359383671952011-07-28T17:43:20.735+05:302011-07-28T17:43:20.735+05:30Air India managed to misplace my baggage my flight...Air India managed to misplace my baggage my flight in a Domestic flight. On top of that, they had the balls to be rude enough on the Baggage Lost Counter. Flight Attendants are horrible<br /><br />On the LTC's- The fact that I have to pay for a water bottle,pisses me off - hence a rating of 1 on a scale of 5 - but again they are cheap. <br /><br />Go Indigo and Go Air - Both suck in terms of sticking to their schedule<br /><br />Spicejet - Good food. They really stick to their ad campaign<br /><br />Yet to experience Kingfisher and others but agree to Jitin. The Cattle class won't really find much off a value in the post. The High Flier class again won't find value in this post, as they would already have their loyalties in line.

But mostly AI/IA have old plains which don't have IFA system. Sometimes they operate international planes (Boeing 737s) on domestic connecting routes which have IFA!<br /><br />Never traveled in a plane (except once in BA) before 2010. So no clue about 'Air Dhakkan' as it was popularly called.<br /><br />Indigo is always on time, AND LAND BEFORE TIME, because they have additional buffer built into their flight timings etc. which is kiddish!<br /><br />Completely agree with Jet with hostesses thing :D Infact, I am inlcuding it in the post :)Novocainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966300170391606736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762071188367961620.post-90639231693992199772011-07-28T16:02:18.550+05:302011-07-28T16:02:18.550+05:30My Air India flights from Delhi to Ahmedabad have ...My Air India flights from Delhi to Ahmedabad have in-flight entertainment while that from Delhi to Singapore had nothing except giant scary air hostesses to stare at.<br /><br />And I disagree on the Kingfisher front, their international flights are just as good as Jet Airways(domestic, no clue about international), which is saying something. Also, I would put their Red fleet above all the other low cost airlines, you get free food. :P When it was Air Deccan it used to be AWFUL though, there was no prior seat allocation, and mosquitoes in the aircraft. IndiGo, they claim, is always on time, and I haven't had a contradictory experience yet.<br /><br />More importantly, I find Jet ki air-hostesses best, they are awesome lookers without being um, Kingfisher-ey, if you know what I mean. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
