Pune to Chennai return. Flown for the first time with them and found them okay. Planes were new and clean. Both flights were on time. FAs well groomed and do a good job. Food served was not free and was more of a snack. For the fare they charge you, its a very good airline to fly with in India.

DEL-CJB (via HYD). We chose this flight for its convenient timing. SpiceJet's ticket office at Delhi Airport is very hard to find (as an exception to the rule, it's located outside the temporary ticketing hall). Check-in friendly and efficient. Boarding via a bus with a ridiculously high step. Flight left on time, meaning we actually lifted off the runway at the scheduled time of 1710 (a miracle, given today's crowded Indian airports). Onboard catering limited and expensive. On the second leg (HYD-CJB), there were two incidents of altercations between cabin crew and pax, mainly over the issue of the complimentary water bottles not being provided (ostensibly because of turbulence preventing service, although the seatbelt signs were NOT on), yet the FAs were happy to serve anyone who wanted to purchase any food or beverages. These two unpleasant situations were not handled well by what came across as a particularly arrogant FA. Landed in CJB on time.

PNQ-HYD. I booked with a foreign credit card, which caused a bit of a delay at check-in. All boarding at Pune is done via remote stands, though it was done quite efficiently, and we actually pushed back 5 minutes early. The plane was a B737-800, and it was clean and well-maintained. The FAs were efficient and friendly. There's no IFE at all, but since the flight time was only 1 hour, it wasn't a big deal. Main complaint was the seat pitch, which seemed a bit tight, though it was manageable for a 1 hour flight. Being an LCC, you had to pay for everything on board except for water, but the prices are reasonable - 20 rupees (about 50 cents) for juice, and 60 rupees (about $1.50) for a sandwich. You also have to pay to pre-reserve a seat online, but again, the cost is negligible at 50 rupees (about $1.25). If you are booking online, also beware that you will be offered trip insurance after you select your flights, and the default is set to yes, so pay attention before finalizing your purchase. The flight arrived at HYD about 5 minutes early, and although my bag was the last on the carousel, it only took about 10 minutes to appear. Overall, a good value for the price I paid, at about $52 for an advance purchase one-way ticket.

AMD-HYD return, quite happy with the product. New B737-800. Were offered soft drinks & peanuts on a 1 hr 15 min. flight. FAs attentive and efficient. On-time performance both ways. Can't really fault the offering. I'd rate it as above average LCC experience.

DEL-BOM-DEL. A good and cheap budget carrier. New, spotless aircraft, friendly service and flights were in time. I have no complaints at all except the horrible Delhi airport, but that is not the fault of Spicejet. Everything about Spicejet reminded me of Easyjet if compared to an European low-cost airline.

Delhi to Mumbai one way. As a LCC the flight was really good. Unlike Air Deccan, they provided us water and refreshments. Seat pitch was not generous. But I still found them equally good in comparison with other full airlines.

Bombay to Goa return. Short flight. Both delayed over 1.5 hours. Cabin crew polite and competent. Seat pitch very narrow BOM to GOI so uncomfortable. Fine on return. Good value for money for a low cost carrier and easy to fly with domestically. Similar to other Indian LCC's : drink of water and cookie supplied during flight. Recommended for shorter trips - at least they do not charge Indian and non-Indian air fare prices as the full service carriers do.

Bangalore to Pune return. The airline is a standard low cost carrier in India today but with some advantages. The check in facilities and staff in Pune are ok but they make you walk to the aircraft in pouring rain. This as opposed to Indigo airlines that provides you with an umbrella for this short walk. The Bangalore staff are not however very polite and we had a member of their ground staff snarling at passangers to get into 2 lines for boarding in sequence. Great to see that we can form queues in India, but their has to be a nicer way to get passangers to stand in line. Some advantages of the airline are the weight allowance for example- which is still 20 kilos plus 10 kilos (hand luggage) as opposed to many domestic carriers now but just 15 kilos. Also they serve water and cookies(?) for free but do not offer any food on flight for you to buy which does tend to leave you hungry. Overall a good flight and value for money.

BOM-GOI and BOM-DEL sector. Cabin crew helpful and FA's polite. Snacks and bottled water provided onboard. Seating was a bit cramped. Some schedules are inconvenient. You are requested not to carry the inflight magazine with you as an economy measure. Good value for money if you can manage to fly without all the attached facilities and amenities of a regular airlines.
