Jet Airways - The gr8 Indian Lottery

Every second day I seem to be at an airport, waiting for flights which are almost always delayed. Since we may have to travel any day, we generally keep a set of vouchers with us which is generally Jet airways, which is what we call the gr8 Indian lottery.

I must be flying at an average of a flight a week and yet I am still pleasantly and unpleasantly suprised by the varied number of experiences that this airline seems to provide. I've flown from Jammu to Delhi, which I thought would be a low traffic route in this amazing plane with in-flight entertainment and comfortable seats and I've flown Mumbai - Kolkata, which I thought would be a more important route in this flight with ultra small, super uncomfortable seats and absolutely no leg room. My 2 flights each on Deccan, Spicejet, Jet Lite, Indigo have been better than that one. Actually Jet Lite was amazingly good value for money and of course Kingfisher is always comfortable, though the food never seems that gr8. Wish they had more flights and a better voucher system and I would have shifted there for sure.

Now I have some work in Ludhiana day after for which I would be again flying Jet to Chandigarh. Being a Jet Blue plus privilege number thanks to all the field visits I make, I can tele check in, vouchers anyway give me the convenience of change of flights in an emergency, a few flights later I will even get priority in baggage, but every Jet flight still seems like sitting in front of a slot machine, pulling the lever and waiting and watching with bated breath, just exactly what experience is the flight going to provide.

Awaiting standardisation of service

Luv,
P.R.
