So many Indian airlines have started strong and then faded, but 6E has been doing its thing consistently for a long time. It is a no-frills airline offering all kinds of addons such as early boarding for a fee, but it is obsessive about punctuality, which comes at no extra charge although is very valuable.

Of course there are no guarantees. To be doubly safe, do not take the last possible flight, even if it is the previous evening.
