Hi there
I've flown IT (Kingfisher) a couple of times, and they were pretty good
Now we're thinking to book tickets for IT DEL-HKG end of december, and HKG-DEL end of january.
Is IT stable enough that it will be running in january?

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, what is the situation?

IT will be running in January, for sure. VJM would not let the airline down that easily.

But IT is now having frequent cancellation of its flights and grounding aircraft.

So if you're on a tight schedule, I would book another airline (9W or CX) so that there are no last-minute changes to my itinerary.

I don't recommend flying Kingfisher. Their planes' interiors are falling apart, and they can't afford proper meals, etc. It's not as pleasant of an experience as it used to be.

Gaura Mohana Nov 20, 2011 11:25 pm

Booked... Aren't their a33x's in good condition? Surely they have meals on international flights

Their planes are falling apart. And the quality of meals has crashed recently due to the lack of $$ that they have to buy more expensive, better meals.

I hope you booked through a 3rd party vendor - if you booked through MakeMyTrip, for example, then if IT cancels, MakeMyTrip will rebook you for you (in theory). Regardless, you won't be on the hook to come up with cash.

There are so many options on this route, I really am not sure why anyone would pick IT over a competitor.

List of cancelled king fisher flight details ?
 
Dear All,

Where can I get the list of cancelled flights of KF ?

I have booked in one of their flights and traveling with 2 small kids. I call them up and they say the said flight will fly ...
But when I check in their web site , no body is able to go thru that flight no. to book a new flight.

Seems not straight forward. Any help appreciated.

Did you book directly with IT? If you did, not much you can do short of cancelling and buying a new ticket on another airline.

If you booked through a third party, give them a call and see what they can do...

Thanks for the quick reply.

I booked directly at their sales office...

Is there a way to get the list of cancelled flights ?

Do they cancel randomly or they have a list of sectors they have cancelled for good ?

Thanks
Joe.

No clear info from them 1 way or the other. They might have a list of sectors that they have cancelled for good, but they haven't told us...

We booked through the local railway/air travel agent who uses VIA something (a website). How is VIA?
