Ever since I first flew Jet Airways back in 2001, I have been a fan. The simple efficiency won me over. I rank them above most of the U.S airlines, except maybe for JetBlue.
Recently, I got a chance to fly Kingfisher, mostly because I didn't have much of an option. I am impressed! While some of the features I enjoyed, like the live cam view from under the plane belly, were just generic A321 features, others, from a message by their chairman to the branded/all-red headphones, were definitely customized.
A lot of thinking seems to have gone into the whole experience. From the stewardesses in stunning red to the great meal combo, one can say that it is all set up to give you the good times.
Jet is already flying to international destinations. Kingfisher, thanks to its merger with Air Deccan will start doing so later this year. Kingfisher has the potential to draw a lot of non-native traffic as well, from the likes of Lufthansa to Singapore. That is bound to be a huge win for fliers as they fight over price & quality. I do hope that they realize the potential for eating into other airlines' traffic. Good connections at an intermediate hub, or onward connections from its India destination would attract even more of a crowd. The skies will look more interesting come August, and the red skirts aren't the only reason!
Will the Kingfisher Girl replace the incumbent, Singapore Girl ?
