For long haul trips, whether I can use miles for an upgrade is as important as the price itself. Unless it can attract high margin business travelers, Kingfisher will be competing as a budget international airline. And I've not seen that work out so well, yet (putting aside the ridiculously subsized EU carriers).</p> I think Karthik touches on a very important issue – Kingfisher will have to find a way to work its way into one of the major airline consortiums (i.e., Star Alliance, Skyteam, etc.) if it wants to succeed.

It is rather interesting reading up the comments , though there are a few points i would like to add in a) The talk of KF red hot girls :- if i am not mistaken a lot many of the girls are all ex Jet girls who have been picked up and out fitted with red short skirts , now is it the girl or the skirts that is hot ? b) Jet is flying to newwark from aug this year as well as toronto from sep , yes it is via brussels c) KF is more of a marketing blitz than aviation professionals , yep they do have a good product but still miles away from the jet standards , i guess KF is more of a flying bill board for Mallaya and his beer d) In case you are wondering if i am an insider , yep i am was in KF and am with a top european airline now !

The other was that my son wanted to see what the bidding for various items was all about. We rarely fly since both sets of grandparents live in 'bussable' distance :-). We take the JET (rt)every year to get from Bombay to Bangalore. The quality is somehow poorer on this flight(both ways).</p> <p>Also, there was some trouble on the return from Delhi to Bangalore and almost all the men just stood up and screamed and entered the cockpit and started yelling at the pilot! The trouble was with one of the tow-trucks(?) that pushes the plane out of the door onto the tarmac. Since that was not working the pilots had to wait for a spare one to come and push us out. But all these guys were up and yelling obscenities and screaming and walking in and out of the cockpit. I was scared since I was travelling with 2 kids. AND it was a Sunday morning. Almost nobody came into the plane to explain the problem or why the plane was shut down with no a/c in July in Delhi! No water... I will stick with Jet. Alternatively, my friend uses ONLY Sahara to fly Madras--Bangalore--Hyderabad sectors and loves it :-). My friends kids used KF last summer and loved it.</p> Yes convenience was one of the 2 reasons we took Sahara.

We are traveling on Sahara from Delhi to Cochin and than Cochin to Hyderabad in a few days. Can you tell why you have such a bad opinion of the airline? Sahara had the most convenient flights for our tour.
