AIR INDIA EXPRESS review : 8 August 2009 by Rohit Fernandes
|
Customer Rating : 4/5 |  |
DXB-IXE. Boarded with apprehension but quite pleasantly surprised. Reasonably clean aircraft,
pleasant crew and food! Not bad for a budget airline and way better than Air India (the so
called full service airline). Have flown them a couple of times again on the same sector.

Customer Rating : 3/5 |  |
I am regular passenger in UAE-Kerala route. Flights seems to be fairly reasonable compared to the
fare structure and clean. Crew helpful. But the snacks to be supplied as per the timing. On mid
night flights supplying banana chips and cakes really upset the stomach. Any toasted bread
sandwiches (veg or non-veg) would be more ideal which will not add up the cost to the airlines. The
fare calculation methods seems strange. Sometimes a person buying an online ticket far earlier
before 1 or two months pays more than someone take it on the day or previous day of the flight.
Also the taxes calculation. More basic fare is with less tax and vice versa. Recently the
cancellation charges have been increased to 35% which is really unbearable. It should be reversed
to 10% before 10 days and 15% prior to 24 hrs at least.

Singapore to Calcutta return. An adequate performance from this budget carrier. The flights were on
time, the comfort was adequate, and the staff generally reasonably friendly. The only slight
downside was the quality of food offered in the snackbox - barely edible pastries and deep fried
cookies. However, the flight is only about 4 hours, so having little to eat wasn't a big problem.
The tickets were 50% cheaper than the only other carrier to offer non-stop flights on this route
(Singapore Air), so overall I was extremely pleased with Air India Express.

TRZ to KUL via Chennai return. The aircraft was relatively clean on both sectors. Since this was the
only flight to Trichy from Kuala Lumpur, I thought it would be more practical to just take this
flight since there is no hassle of getting out into Chennai. However the transit procedure in
Chennai is terrible. We had to get on bus, queue up till everyone got off the plane and go though
security check again. For the price you pay, the service is not at all worthwhile.

I paid INR 13,000 on IX flight from Kolkata to Singapore compared to about 21,000 in SQ. The
aircraft was clean, crew reasonably friendly. They served snacks on the flight. I would say if they
keep the aircraft clean and maintains time it's good value for money. I would have to fly few more
times to see if they are reliable!

Used IX for a domestic flight from BOM-COK. I have to say for the fare I
paid I was not expecting much. A spotless aircraft and a hospitable
crew. Overall a very average airline, which offers value for money.

My third flight on IX (from Dubai to Cochin), and quite possibly my
last. It appears that there is no cabin maintenance at all. Most seat
cushions badly soiled - as if the plane had been used to carry
livestock. No paper or cloth covers for the head rests. Carpet in a
filthy and lamentable state throughout the cabin. At first I thought the
window I was sitting next to was covered in a layer of condensation. I
then found out it was a film of grease and grime, with the window frame
covered in a brownish substance containing lots of human hair.

Air India Express from Cochin to Dubai on 25/11/05. Aircraft quite new
and thanks to being seated in one of two emergency exit rows, lots of
leg room. Despite travelling on a low cost airline, you nevertheless are
served a snack consisting of sandwich, cake, fruit juice, water, coffee
or tea. On the downside, the passenger next to me was allowed boarding
in a clearly less than sober state, and the crew continued to serve him
hard liquor throughout the flight (alcoholic beverages available on a
for sale basis). He even managed to complete the entire flight without
ever having availed of the seat belt. Also, despite being a non-smoking
flight, crew were quite relaxed at seeing the lavatories being used
continuously as smoking rooms - with the obvious and objectionable
result of extremely bad air quality in the cabin throughout the flight.
