Need a new Designer for Cabin Crew's Attire. Review on Jet Airways

“Fly so high that it won’t be easy to be caught…”

Early part of 90’s we had no option but travel in Indian airlines and traveling was not fun at all with India opening up the Skies for Private operators in the year 1992, lot of airlines came, Jet Airways, East West Airlines & Damania Airways. Out of the 3 only Jet Airways has survived and taken over each and every airline which has come in between its growth. Started as a mere Air taxi in 1992, it went on to become a full fledge airlines in the year 1993.

Since starting the operations in the year 1993, Jet has seen a steady growth right from flying Domestic Sector to International Sector. It was always believed that Flying Jet airways was elite and only people with good bank balance flew this airlines. But again that was a myth because its price was always competitive with our very own Indian Airlines. Naresh Goyal is the Chairman of Jet Airways and a very smart mover like Vijay Mallaya (Even though not comparable, he is way-way ahead of the league with everyone)

Flying Jet airways has been a mix bag experience with the out of the world Customer Service Experience to a rude and pathetic instance of high headiness by the Jet Employees. But again if you are a frequent flyer then usually you would have mixed experience but the percentage of bad experience is pretty less compared to good flying experience.

Being a frequent flyer with Jet Airways and also a Club Premier customer you tend to get a royal treatment from the Airline Staff. There are basically lot of advantage flying Jet Airways, here are few:

Flights on time…

Flying Jet Airways you would tend to have your flights on time.

Use of Airspace…

Would tell you a small secret as Jet Airways being a Cash rich airlines the amount of time spend by the customers in the air rotating the Airport is less as Jet Airways pays extra money to have a faster clearance. Hence you would very rarely find Jet Airways flight circling the Airport air space as they get clearance even before Indian Airlines. It is said that parking space for Aircraft in the airport is very expensive hence most of the Airlines prefer spending more time in airspace because they would have shell lot of money for the Parking. In turn its an advantage for customers as their flight would land and take off on time , if you are a jet airways customers. But mind you their might be instances when even Jet Airways spend time on the airspace but that would be only during bad climatic conditions like we are going to experience if we are traveling to Delhi or any northern region.

Airport Lounge…

The Airport lounge of Jet Airways is probably the biggest in Mumbai and Delhi Airport and one of the best. As there are more flights of Jet Airways you have more counters hence you don’t have to wait for long queues. Also you would find a Jet staff ready to help you most of the time.

In-Flight Entertainment…

After Kingfisher started its operations the most hit is Jet Airways as Kingfisher just changed the way In-Flight Entertainment was concerned. Right from Beautiful Cabin Crew’s, Best quality food and of course you can watch sitcoms, serials, cricket matches right in front of your screen. But I guess for a 2hour flight these things can be pass especially watching television but yes you need courteous Cabin Crew which is lacking with Jet Airways. Most of the time you would find a plastic smile and I high headed Cabin Crew. Though once in a while you do have good cabin crew but still this department has been a problem for Jet Airways. On a fun note, the dress worn by Jet Airways Staff sucks big time, I am sure Naresh Goyal needs to hire a good designer to design the dress.

Booking and Reservation…

Booking and reservation is pretty easy, either you can log on to their website or call their 24x7 Call Center for your bookings. Jet always gives you an opportunity to do a Web-Check in and Tele-Check in.

Pricing…

The tickets are priced in the best possible manner; it all depends on apex fare too. At times you would get a fare which can be equivalent to the low fair airlines like Deccan and Spicejet. I have never understood though the pricing system of Airlines because at times you get the ticket for 3000Rs and within a minute the same ticket would cost you 10000Rs. Yes that happens with most of the airlines imagine I had a friend who traveled in Air Deccan for 9,000Rs and if you don’t believe it check the flight rates for Goa on Air Deccan its 18,000Rs. So why give this price to Air Deccan I prefer giving this to Jet Airways at least the service would be good.

Even though not as good as KingFisher but way-way ahead of all the airlines flying in the Indian Airspace.
