Flown a lot of airlines in the world besides being a Frequent Flyer of British Airways (one world) and Star Alliance, but believe it or not, I love Jet Airways.It's the Best. Given a choice of flying anywhere in the world, I would choose Jet over any airline (Ranks next to Emirates). That speaks a lot of them. With the government change in policy that might soon be true.
Although long distance flights are a whole different ball game, but I?m sure Mr.Goyal will be up to it. Can you believe an airline which apologizes for a 3 minute delay. Wonderful.
First of all its got all new planes with the average age being around 3 years. A couple of 737-900. Beautiful new planes. So atleast I don?t have to be praying all the way (which I would need to in Alliance air). One thing for sure, I feel safer in all domestic airlines in India than I do in the states.
Flying in the states is very scary. (seen some aircraft by United Airlines in frightening condition). Besides u?ve got those Bin ladin?s idiot?s who wanna kill ya. My advice to them is let them fly. Will crash automatically.
Jet Airways I feel has the some of the best pilots in the world. (Anyone who can land in Mangalore airport has to be the best ? you miss the runway, u fall of the mountain). Had one pilot of South African airlines who missed the runway and went head on into a thunderstorm. Maybe they should get trained in India.
The Crew of Jet are also the best looking and have great personalities. I?m not saying this because I?ve got a whole bunch of friends in Jet, but seriously. Maybe AirFrance should hire couple of crew from jet instead of having Grandma?s as crew. I don?t have a problem with Old crew but then after a certain age one should be shifted to ground staff.
The food is the best. I hate airline food in general but Jet makes me change my mind always. In the states you fly for a 3 hour flight and they give you a pop and pretzel. Here you fly for 45 minutes and you get juice, sweets and good food too. You hardly finish eating and you?ve reached there. Perfect. Singapore airlines and BA should take its menu from Jet.
Finally the last and final reason why one should fly jet is with the NEW APEX fares, whereby one can book 15, 21 or 30 days in the advance and get more than 50% off on the tickets. Who the hell is gonna go by train now I?ve no clue.
I?m forced to fly down even though I love driving with these super cheap fares. The Best thing that?s has happened to the Indian consumer and I?m sure that?s gonna make the industry do well. Jet Airways knows what flying is all about. I love it and am sure you will too. Have a great flight.
