And you will be flying an infinitely better airline. Stick with Cathay in future and you won't regret it (Fibga or no Fibga).

That said, the JetChild was simply doing his job. I'm convinced they're hired to further Jet's obvious goal : to get you to fly another airline. Score!

I agree. Had the Jet booking only because CX was unavailable at the time of original booking.

Update, Wife called Jet locally, was put on hold for a long time ad now told she can take two bags of 23 KG each. CX allows two bags at 32 KG each as do all airlines in and out of USA.

BTW can you change the Jet Child to Jet Children as to date at least five have been involved ? :)

+1..
this is also having a rippling effect on other currencies since most if not all are pegged to the USD and not directly with INR..
Thai Bhat ( THB) was approx 1.7 in Feb 2012, and is now 2.01 !!!

To a very large extent, the following still holds true:

On the flip side, below 60 it has long term support at levels of 48 , where it may head to, of course with zig-zag swings along the way.

Fundamentally, there aren't many positives to look forward to, besides the sole fact, that the Indian-origin money in Swiss banks is at an all time low. I personally believe, that the political parties will make the most of this opportunity to stock-pile funds for the upcoming elections. Any action by the RBI, will follow at a later stage. ;)

I think it's going to get worse for the ₹. RBI has been doing what it can to stabilize things by selling $$, but it's not going to change outflow of foreign capital (US Fed taper will make the liquidity crunch worse) or local investors' flight into gold. Not expecting anything from government policies anytime soon either. This ₹ weakness could attract some new NRI investors but it's also spooking those who are currently invested, so overall I think it will get worse.

It is continuing to slide. I think it will hit 70. Will it ever go low or is this permanent. Is the government happy to let it slide to make outsourcing and exports more profitable?

Its hurting all the importers so much though. Risky business attracting investors at the risk of domestic business.
