Problem with cheap Air Fare
Have you ever travelled with these cheap Airlines like Air Deccan, Sahara Airlines or Spice Jet? If not then please do not even try it. I had an horrifying experience with Air Deccan. These day you have so many websites coming up where you can avail very good discount on air tickets. Websites like makemytrip.com, cleartrip.com, filghtraja.com, yatra.com etc are doing good business in terms of revenue.
I booked my ticket from makemytrip.com in the month of January. I was so happy to get a cheap air ticket from Mumbai to Delhi. But all that change when I arrived at airport to board my flight. The flight was delayed for more then 3 hours with out any reason. The crew was least helpful. There was hardly any leg space between the seats. All in all a horrible experience. My advice to you all is avoid Air Deccan as far as possible. I wrote to Air Decaan as well as to makemytrip.com regarding my experience. Makemytrip.com has replies to me and I am still to get an answer from Air Deccan. These cheap flights really suck.
The only good point regarding the cheap air tickets I came across was online booking of makemytrip.com

Hi,stella,This is seenivasagam.it was nice to read ur flying exp with Air Deccan.
I understood ur feelings that u badly hurt due to their improper service.First thing is that there shouldn't be any unnecessary delay.Air Deccan should know that as it provides low cost transport,it sholdn't take advantage in keeping timings.Time is TIME....
Then when you come to facilities offered by Air Deccan,as it is LCA(low cost airlines) u can't expect there shold be Number of cabin crews to help u up, if u think it is mandatory then it is like breaking their rules(like if they employ more cabin crews for LCA, then they need to pay more amt to them).so u needn't expect that.
Another thing u must keep in mind is that "Air Deccan is the only Airlines which introduced LOW cost carrier service(LCCS) in INDIA" .It
tremendously revolutionised the indian pvt aviation sector ,after that many new startups like PARAMOUNT AIRWAYS,GO AIR...etc dived into this profitable BUSINESS and also helpful to INDIANS in terms of time saving.U have mentioned King Fisher is Low cost Airline,i think it not so. This r all just my views on your feelings. HOPE TO HEAR REPLY from u WITH MORE Excitement.

Yes I also have very bad experience about cheap airfare. And that is AIR DECCAN. I went to Hyderabad once and there I had to wait for 4 hrs onward journey and for 3 hrs for return journey. And I have heard this trouble from many. Its horrible and very sad.
Hi,
I also had a bad expereince with Air Deccan, once ihad to travel from Delhi to Srinagar, i arrived at the airport before half an hour, but the Airdeccan crew does not allow me to go as the plane si over booked and i heard the same problem from many people
Hi Steela,
Chetan here.
I really feel sympathy about your experience of cheap fligt. I also appoligse your effort to write to both of them i.e. cheapeast tikcet booking agency & Airlines. Many few are aware of their right of consumer & can do like you.
I also travelled through Spice Jet, Jet airways & Kingfisher airlines. But in all of these airlines i found Kingfisher is better airlines then Spice Jet & Jet airways. You will get good treatment from cabine crew & air hostess. Even in terms of facility provided it is better although it is costlier than all other flights. You will get good treatment from time of boarding to reaching your destination. This is my personal experince, may be some one agree or not. I hope you will get best option as Kingfisher for your next trip. I really thankfull to you for sending mail for worst experience.
Please keep in contact in future and send such informative message.
Please reply me.
Your true & loving friend,
Chetan.
yes stell i agree for your view . please keep in touch
I think it is a onetime incident.It wint be same all the time
As a professional and more as your friend, without writing big essays, I agree with you about the plight of domestic and Indian airlines in general.

Hi Stella,
You are absolutely right in your comments about Air Deccan . I had a similar experience when i booked a flight to Delhi. The flight got delayed by almost 5 hours. I had to cancel my tickets and book another flight. I think everybody should start avoiding Air Deccan. Yours sankha_mitra77@rediffmail.com.
You all are my good friends. I value your sincere comments. It makes me feel that I am with very smart people here.
Warm Regards,

Hi Seenu, Venu , Stella....,
Hem here,
As you said expecting from a LCC Airline is really irrelevant. At the same time, I would like to clarify to your point about Paramount AIrways.This is not another LCC, instead PARAMOUNT AIRWAYS IS A FULL SERVICE AIRLINE AT LOW COST BUT WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARD OF SERVICES. The Business Model of Paramount itself is widely different from ALL Others in India and most of the International Airlines as well. In fact, the unique Business model of PARAMOUNT HAs recently been adopted by Lufthansa, Air Nippon, SilverJet, Max Jet etc.,
Right now Paramount is operating only in the South but likely to expand soon. Their Business model is to capture region after region rather than spreading wings throughout at one stretch. As a result of the unique Business model, comparitively cheap cost, excellent services etc, Paramount has now become the leading airline in South India with a market share of 24% (Pls read April issue of Business Standard's Open Sky). Its not only amazing that an Indian airline is capturing markets with its innovative business model but also makes us feel proud that even Foreign Airlines are following its way. Above all, Paramount has been awarded the Arch of Europe Award for quality and excellence in customer service with an innovative business model.
Should'nt this be a well done thing?
Regds,
Hem

I feel these Websites like makemytrip.com, cleartrip.com, filghtraja.com, yatra.com etc are doing good business in terms of revenue but the faith was reuding day by day. First time when any one booked his ticket and do full faith and when his faith is broken by these co. he will never faith in future in these web sites.
Thanks for your reply.
Best of luck for ur future
hi,
I am glad to read your experiance with these airlines. This is generally happens with these chip tickets. The thing you described with me, the same statement was told by my MBA Faculty Mr. Arun Drabum in Delhi. That time he waited for more than 6 hours. so my suggestion is people should book their tickets to keep in mind all the things.

Rohit

Well... i prefer not to talk about the pathetic service of these cheap airlines...
the other day i had to catch a flight from hyderabad to pune (where i live), the flight was to leave hyderabad at 5pm. there was a last minute cancellation. I had no choice but to book a costly flight back to my home.
Air Deccan - you should experience the way some of their pilots land... on one instance i felt that the plan was sliding away to the side.. trust me.. i did feel that way...
lot to talk about on this topic, but i got to get baack to work!!!!
guuuddddddddddddddddddddddd
its nice to hear
hai stella you are so beautiful
