... Too bad Kingfisher doesnt fly to BKK and SIN, if they did I think we'd see an improvement in the TG and SQ regional planes.
Completely agree with Stephem. There isnt a better business class product in the Indian skies. After trying Kingfisher first a few trips ago, I make sure to fly IT everytime I visit India. Once my BLR-BOM flight was delayed due to air traffic congestion in BOM. As soon as we got into the IT-first bus transfer to the airport, they loaded all the luggage for IT-first passengers. As soon as we reached the terminal, there were ITfolks waiting with luggage carts, which they loaded and brought it outside right up to my car - I had never before been out of the airport that fast!! Certainly made me an IT-first fan.
The only sucky part is that the KingClub program requires segments to get to higher levels - not so great for ppl like me who visit India a couple of times and cannot make it to the 30+ segments. Oh well..
