There also used to be buses direct from the airport to a bunch of places in the South. I remember seeing the counters just at the terminal exit "Sahar to Calicut" etc. Must have been a total nightmare for those folks.

Mangalore and Cochin were apparently the worst hit and all year around.

In those days everyone roughly paid the same fare, the complex system of fare classes came in only 10-12 years ago. So WL was no different than the WL system on the railways.

Yep, it was exactly the same fare for everyone. And the published the fare in the timetable booklets. Then, when the fares were revised, all the cyclo-styled papers would go up all over the place. Those were the days!
Some time ago I found some of my dad's old papers, which included his expenses for a trip he had taken. In 1990, he paid Rs 1,837 for a BOM-DEL flight. Shocking how little fares have gone up in 22 years!

In USD-terms, my DEL-SXR/SXR-DEL trips tend to be far more expensive today in real terms than they were a decade or two decades ago, back when there were far fewer carriers on the route than is the case now.

Anyone has a spoon from these airlines?
I collect airline spoons and I would love to have one from one of these airlines, such as Modiluft, Air Deccan, Damania, East-West ...
If anyone has kept one (or several
) I would be happy to offer a good trade.
Thanks
