I’d advise BC or One World Emerald pax against flying the QR codeshare Indigo flights.



I flew QR to Kochi and all was well. My return from Cochi to Doha was an AirIndigo/QR codeshare.

1. No fast track check in; baggage tagging; or priority security lanes.
2. No lounge access. Lounge access only for full QR flights!!!??
3. Old QR 737 seating. 2 BC rows of 4 seats in a row two abreast.
4. Plane and pilots QR, but crew and cabin decor and amenities (or lack thereof) Indigo.
5. No drinks offered pre take off; no amenity kit; no inflight entertainment; no hot meal on approx. 5 hour evening flight. Just a bag containing juice; a small packet of spicy rice crackers and a cookie. Plus a veg or non veg sandwich.
6. High chance you’ll have a family with a baby/toddler or both in front of you.

I like Indigo for internal India flights, and this flight was perfectly fine. It’s just a long way from being QR.



The substandard cabin with no inflight entertainment was especially disappointing considering it was a QR plane.



What I did appreciate was that while I was traveling economy, they did put me into the BC section on account of my Emerald status. I would have been really upset paying QR BC for this flight.



Overall a subpar QR codeshare experience. (Unlike the Oman Air codeshare which is great.)


Plus now have to chase BA to credit miles for these flights.
