AIR-DECCAN a common name amongst people because of its lowest prices. The airlines has given every indian the power to fly. People who never thought of reaching near a boieng have now flown inside it.
inside the aircraft:
the aircraft is draped in white with black seats. seats which have zilch comfort and are xtremely cramped with least leg space.its very unfit for tall people. the reading light which are located above the passenger seat are flickery and many time dont work. the airhostesses are not very friendly and their service may be said as average. the interiors are sometimes dirty and there are broken pieces also for which mostly the customer is to be blamed. nothing is provided in the aircraft, not even a cotton tuft to stuff in the ears to avoid numbness. the radio never works and one can only hear the plane noise unless he/she gets a walkman with him/her. only means for entertainment in the flight is the magazine they provide, that too sometimes is not available.
food:
food is bound to be fine as all are branded stuff from cafe coffee day like cookies, cup-o-noodles, cafe, donuts, water(laughs), coffee, etc.
worst part is the veg sandwich which costs whooping 45/- bucks but does not provide a bang for the bucks you pay. no part of the sandwich is good.
performance:
once said to be the best carrier when it started off but due to flight cancellations and reschedulings, it has now become a sad name too. though now the company claims to be 98.2% on time, but refinement level is light years away.
my personal verdict:
all have diffenrent experiences with different flights. I had a fine experience. though its a low cost carrier, it must keep in mind some vital things.
alternate options: one can book tickets early thru travel by kingfisher or jet airways. if one plans a last moment journey, airdeccan, spicejet or goair are the best options.
P.S: THE FLIGHTS I TRAVELLED WERE FROM HYDERABAD TO KOLKATA, MUMBAI AND DELHI.
DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.
