Paramount Airways review by A Srinivas

HYD to MAA and pleasantly surprised. Check-in a breeze even though a single counter. Their fleet consists of Embraer jets and the smaller number of pax results in personalised attention. Cabin crew very presentable with efficient service. Food excellent with a full meal with juice for a 60 min flight. The baggage arrived in less than 15 mins. Highly recommended.

Return MAA to BLR. Best experience I had. In the 35 minutes the smiling crew served drink and a full meal. Seats were very comfortable. Will fly this airways from now on in South India.

Chennai to Madurai after a Malaysia Airlines flight from LAX the previous night. I had 3-pieces of baggage. Paramount mentions that they allow 2-piece concept but then their weight limits are very low. I expected to pay extra for only 1-piece but then I had to finally cough up about Rs.3500. From my flight from LAX to MAA, I paid only $50 for extra baggage. For international connections, Jet Airways is probably the best. Besides, the agent at the check-in desk had no idea whatsoever about how to process extra baggage. She had to call for her supervisor to figure out how to work out charges. There was also a porter sporting a Paramount Airways uniform that kept running after me carrying all my hand baggage. He was more of a pest and I had to finally tip him. Their business class lounge was poor - server offers stale coffee and then scratches his head for a tip. Overall, a very bad experience. On the positive side, the aircraft was clean and the food was good. The FAs did a good job but seemed tired.

MAA-HYD. Check in quick, friendly, and efficient. All Paramount passengers get lounge access, which is a nice touch (as an aside, the check-in agent was nice enough to tell us to head through security earlier than usual due to the long security lines in Chennai on Monday mornings). The plane was an Embraer 170, and though you could tell it wasn't new, it appeared well maintained. I'd never flown on a regional jet before (I always try to avoid them in the U.S.), but I have to admit the flight was just as comfortable as those on larger planes. Catering service was by the Taj Coromandel; it wasn't great, but it's nice to be able to get a full meal on a 1 hour flight. Cabin staff were friendly and attentive. The only beef I had (albeit minor) was that the official schedule calls for a 8:00 arrival after a 7:10 start, even though flying time is 1 hour, making us appear to be late when we got in at 8:10. I think their schedule needs updating. Otherwise, it was a good experience, and I would fly with Paramount again.

Travelled six times between Chennai-Coimbatore and found Paramount to offer a world of difference. They offer four course meals - food piping hot and delicious. Aircraft was an Embraer, with business class configuration. We found the seats very comfortable.
