Isn’t Jet the only one of those airlines actually making a profit?

Jet is getting over rated gradually. They need to check their ground and inflight services.Over confident staff.They used to be very friendly.After all how do they define”good value for money”. It will be good for them to fly to London,New York and Toronto to start with. What with KingFisher ready to Fish

Well there's this budget airline called Deccan Air which starts dynamic pricing a la Southwest Airlines, and I managed to get a ticket from Bangalore to Hyderabad for 1700 rupees , that's less than 40 dollars...and if you buy it months in advance you can get it less than $ 15 also...

In fact, it's doing so well that, Indian Railways has come up with a Frequent Traveller Scheme so that their golden goose, the AC traveller do not migrate to the air in droves !

I think your disdain for Brussels in misplaced. It has Euros (not Belgian Francs) as its currency…

Thanks. Sadly, I was stuck with spare francs on a layover a year ago. Not sure why the ATM didn’t dispense euros.

In either case, one could be associated with a tastier veggie. Even Lima, Peru makes out better

I think your disdain for Brussels in misplaced. It has Euros (not Belgian Francs) as its currency and French food that Paris would wish could be made in France. What i am dismayed about is that the flights do not go directly to Delhi.

they charge exorbitantly. US$250 for a round trip fare (1 hour each way); at their cost base !!!

The fares are half that for Indian passport holders or those who book via a travel agent in India. Which again is discriminatory pricing.

I flew Jet about 2 months ago from Mumbai to Bangalore. What impressed me the most about this airline was their culinary set. The napkins were made of this amazing fiber with some intricate tapestry. And overall there was a LOT of attention to detail.

On the other hand, I guess they are able to do this because they charge exorbitantly. US$250 for a round trip fare (1 hour each way); at their cost base !!!

On the international sectors, the fares are going to be more competitive, and so lets hope they can keep up their service !
