The finest Airline- Kingfisher: Published on 17 November 2010

First time, I have ever flown in Kingfisher Airlines, which is quite a good experience. Apart from fine red clad girls, the airlines is a true competitor to Jet Airways. There was no confusion through out my journey. I have booked my ticket online, which I have received an e-ticket. I also got an SMS in my mobile informing the confirmation of my booking. As I didn't take the print out, I just threw my mobile at one of the kingfisher counters at the airport. The staff smiled and gave a print out in flat 25 seconds, by which I have gained the entry to the airport after tallying with my Driving License.

As I went near the check in counters, the staff again escorted me to appropriate counter, where I have given my ticket to the check in staff. The staff are well groomed and I have also taken a frequent flyer form which was instantly entered in their system.

The cabin is clean, and each seat have personal TV system with around 6 channels to select from, including GPS location map. The excitement came when the cabin crew brought gift wrapped Pen and ear phones for every 'Guest'. There was welcome Juice, delicious Dinner and Coffee/tea. The flight left and touched down exactly on time, and we collected checked in baggage after landing.

The fare is quite reasonable at Rs. 7,712 for a single journey refundable ticket. Right now there are only three airlines Indian, Kingfisher and Jet Airways. As there are serious efforts to have 'close' collaboration between Kingfisher and Jet Airways, the quality and the price may not sustain for a long time.
