Jet Konnect - partial withdrawal?
Looking at booking some tickets on MAA-BOM-MAA in October through December. All SEVEN flights on both sectors show full service flights. No Konnect ! However, for September 3 out of the 7 are Konnect, Some kind of turnaround happening? Any inside news?

Yep - looks like they are looking to reduce Konnect and move more to full service. The economy is back in action you see

noticed same on DEL-MAA
I am booked on DEL-MAA in January, and when I booked a couple months ago, all flights but one were Konnect. Now, on the day I'm travelling, all but one are full-service.
Of course, the flight I'm on is still the one Konnect flight! I think I'll stay where I am and hope they change it to full-service, so I don't have to pay the difference. I could switch to a similarly-timed full-service flight but would have to pay more.

They had to do something with Kingfisher Red offering so much more than Jet KONNECT.
Im hoping good riddance to both KONNNECT and RRED and the return to the full service standards from a few years ago.

i don't think they can get rid of red & konnect....but they should definitely reduce the number of flights....
