It is approx. Rs. 1,000/- cheaper per sector!
Try J on IT! You'll definitely notice the difference.
Starts with the kerb side meet and greet service. The porter met me at the kerb at DEL and took my bags, got them x-rayed and then took me to check-in. He then carried my hand luggage and escorted me to the lounge and told me he'd come and collect me from there when it was time to go thru security. He also carried my bag thru security, and then came with me onto the "First" bus and took my bag up the aircraft steps and put it in the overhead locker!
The meal selection is much superior to 9W too. Besides the usual Indian chicken and veg options, there are also mains like Lobster Thermidor. The 4 course meals are served course by course and you can even take as many desserts as you like!
I quite liked the little petit fours platter. They serve (almost!) proper cappucinos & espressos etc too.
Seats are obviously much more comfortable than 9W, and this does become an issue on those 2 hour + flights. Especially when you end up spending 30 minutes in a hold over BOM or DEL!
There is an amenity bag offered as well. (Contains the usual pen, socks, face cream, lip balm etc etc, but I think it is a first for domestic flights in India.)
The little touches in the service are great. Before landing one of the FA's will come up with a lens cloth and spray and offer to clean up the eye-glasses of pax. ^
And when I last checked, the coupon prices were virtually identical for 9W and IT. (I'd even be happy to pay a small premium for IT though!)
