OK, thanks guys. Given that I'm looking at 1 to 1 1/2 hour flights, I'm not going to care too much about the service if it's safe and reliable. Which is sounds like all the choices are. And I see that even the discount airlines like Spicejet give you a free checked bag, so I don't think I'm looking at add-ons to making apples to apples comparisons. In this case, schedule and price will largely determine who I fly.
When you say that "only 9W and AI fly out of the same airport as international airlines," I assume you mean out of the same "terminal," right? So I'd need additional time to switch terminals if I wanted to make a connection. How much time is a good idea (not that I think I'll do this however)? There is only one "airport" in Delhi, right?
