While I would agree with most of what you have said but this part I have excerpted needs perhaps a nuanced response. Airport services are bad, no doubt. That includes the actual check-in officials since they are a part of the government. However, apart from Indian Airlines, it would be wrong to say the AIRLINE officials are rude. I travel every week in the US and very frequently in Europe. The services here are pathetic. The airline officials are sometimes plain ignorant or plain rude. With United and Delta, late is a way of life. Most often they just don't care. The airhostesses and stewards are tired and overworked. They don't serve food anymore on the flight. It is pathetic. Compared to that Jet Airways and Sahara and Kingfisher is heaven. Their young officials are always cheerful and ready to help. Kingfisher even has porters available outside the airport at least in Mumbai and Delhi to pick up your bags. The food is awesome - almost always. Oh yeah, when my Mom was traveling alone from Mumbai to Guwahati, Jet Airlines people at the airport in Mumbai even took my call, located my Mom in the airport, made sure she was ok (she wasn't and they called a doc) and reported back to me. It was followed up on the plane by the airhostess. No wonder, Jet Airways is the hunting ground for almost all major international airlines including Singapore Airlines, Virgin etc. That they can do so with unruly passengers is even more remarkable. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
