Yes.. I've flew 21 flights with them in July and June, got op-up'ed once. Primarily cause it's off season and Y was never overbooked to warrant an upgrade, but it used to be a LOT more easier a year or two ago.

speaking of Jet?

Problem is many FF's on Jet have gotten spoilt rotten at the royal treatment and upgrades, especially the Platinum types. Now with the goodie cart being locked up, they are going to be hopping mad!

Jet started losing their mojo a long time ago, when they largely got themselves into a financial predicament. Then, like we've seen with so many other businesses, they forgot the difference between cost and value/quality.

In economy, the deterioration is far less start than up front (which is where the real money is to be made). Now all they have left is a solid hard product and reliability. The two will enable them to stay afloat, but little more.

They really need to learn from this phrase, which is rather apt as Jet have gone on and on and on about fuel prices and costs:

Not that I'm implying Delta are the personification of said phrase. The learning is in the message, not the messenger.

Yes speaking of Jet.. Where can we hop around though? I fly over a hundred domestic Y flights a year and find a half decent alternative to 9W. (Please don't say AI, please don't.)

IT

You are not serious are you?

I wouldn't flt IT if they gave me half price fares. On a flight in business 2 months back they didn't load any food nor did they have any cold drinks. Wrote of a complaint letter and followed it up 3 times now and they haven't even acknowledged it yet.

Does the IFE work now? Last time I flew they hadn't paid the bills so only a few Hindi programs and Movies.

i've taken a few kingfisher flights over the last couple of months....the condition of the aircrafts is getting worse by the day but i have no complaints as far as the food & service is concerned....

I have been flying IT a lot last month between DEL and SXR in business class -- mostly because the flights were cheaper in business class than economy class on any carrier (including the likes of GoAir/Spicejet) at the time of booking.

The IFE was problematic on most of my IT flights, but meals were good. The IT seats or tray tables needed cleaning, but my 9W flights in economy class last month also needed major seat and tray table cleaning too. My miles posted to my airline programs of choice.

:confused: Why is OPUP an issue?
OpuP is another entitlement that, in my opinion, is not a reasonable criterion for judging an airline.

OpUP is a windfall. That's hardly a basis for determining quality.



What I am saying is that expenses have to be paid for. Prices need to be raised, even in economy class. As for Premium model. I don't know what you mean by it.

Assuming you are talking about B737s, 8 is too few and 28 too many.




In these envrions, AI is the worst. Any effort to bring reason to the moderate the hatred is met with hostility. :D

Of course you are right. But that's not what people want to hear.
People want freebies which Jet can neither afford, nor is willing to give anymore. It's more acute among the new FF's as all they have seen is the mad rush to lure customers.

Credit Card Wielding Low-Rev Frequent Fliers.
Then credit card is pretty new in India too. :D

On to mother earth, also called reality.

If I'm more likely to get an opup on one airline vs another, then I will fly it more.
This is one of the reasons why I switched to flying CX TPAC from AC (well, there are several...)

Yes, I understand that. But that does not mean it's good for every one. It does little for airline quality as a whole.

One can and should switch to an airline that meets their needs best. It's personal matter.

What?
