You can buy the EE seats for Rs. 100/- extra each way, and get extra legroom.
Downsides: No miles (not that many anyways) + no lounge access. (really doesn't matter that much domestically, as you can go to the restaurant/s, which are lounges as well, and pay for food/drink)

Yes Paramount, a BLR-based airline, also operating ex-MAA, is worthy of a try in the smaller Embraers. It's quite nice, with a "business"-class (back of cabin, very decent), and a First Class up front!

Paramount also has decent timings ex CCU (end of day)..and supposedly has an on time performance of 84% or the like - however recent sightings in chennai airport (and recent experience with them on MAA-HYD) is that they are unreliable and cancel/delay loads of flights...but then the 84% on time performance is govt data (dunno if they excluded cancelled flights though)

With 5 E170/175 they are obviously a startup:

Let them grow a bit before I give them my business.
