[QUOTE=avm2806;16889205]I beg to differ, especially when compared to flying within the US. QUOTE]

Hi avm2806, the point was never to compare. I have extensively flown domestically across the States, and I know of all the issues with flying there, as well as areas in which they are far more efficient. I agree with all the good thing you have pointed out about the Indian carriers. However, the problem with flight-time paddings and forgettable airport experience are very real.
