... unfortunately they seem to charge a higher fare for non-Indians than Indians. Although, legally, it can be done on the basis of residency and not citizenship.
Can anyone say PIL?
I noticed a change since last month:
www.flykingfisher.biz does not work anymore, I could only book through
www.flykingfisher.com, and they have removed the price discrimination between Indians and foreigners ^
The website also says "Please note that we have revised the fuel surcharge on our fares to Rs. 750 from 5th September 2006", but I can't see any fuel surcharge on a booking I just made:
Fare: INR 2625
Taxes/fees/charges
Taxes/fees/charges: INR 225 WO Passenger Service Charge
Total: INR 2850
Pretty good fare for a GOI-BOM flight in December...Jet Airways was at INR 4400, Go Air at INR 3000 and Spicejet at INR 2400. I booked my outbound BOM-GOI on Spicejet at INR 2600, since every other airline was above INR 6000.
I flew GOI-BOM and BOM-DEL on IT in July and was very impressed. Kingfisher porters in red uniforms waiting at taxi drop-off areas to take your luggage through the checked bag xrays and to the checkin counters. Bulkheads and exit rows were not available during online seat selection, but I got exit rows at checkin for both flights. IFE had 5 TV channels, mostly Hindi shows and one sports channel. There were about 10 radio channels - I ended up switching between the 4 english radio channels on both the flights. Meal service was similar to the Jet Airways meal service, with an extra coffee/tea/soft-drinks service soon after takeoff on the BOM-DEL sector. Welcome kit was as stated in post #2, with a little printed menu inside. Cabin crew was good, but 9W crews are a little warmer.
