Akasa Air

✅ Trip Verified | It was my first flight journey from Mumbai to Bangalore. Thank you Akasa air teams for smooth check in , enjoyed my first flight. Overall it was a great journey for me.

Not Verified | Very bad. They don't even have baggage counters. Arrived airport 4 hrs prior to departure time and we had to wait till 1.5 hrs before departure time. They did baggage and quick check in at the last minute in a hurried manner. Had to run with wife

✅ Trip Verified | I travelled from Bangalore to Visakhapatnam with my 2 kids. What could have ended up in a travel disaster was quickly turned around by the ground staff into a memorable trip. While the flight was comfortable, check-in during the peak hours airport rush took me for a ride. With kids I arrived a bit late and the counter was closed. The ground/check-in staff found an opportunity to fit us in and they did the unthinkable. Everything happened with lightning speed and we were on the flight finally with few mins to spare. I really appreciate their hard work and very thankful for the VIP treatment. Although, the baggage arrived a bit late , Its not a big concern at all. I really wish them all the success and growth in their future endeavours.

✅ Trip Verified | LCC currently operating only on domestic route. Have all Boeing 737 Max fleet. Seats are just ok for short 1-2 hr flights, can't expect more from a budget carrier. Boarding was systematic and smooth, cabin was clean and fresh, cabin crew were courteous. Departed and arrived on time. Ticket price is competitive. No major reason to avoid.

✅ Trip Verified | Akasa is removing whatever little dignity was left in low cost air travel (despite not being so low cost). They will fret over every last kilogram in your luggage and make you transfer stuff around and between luggages just to harrass customers as it clearly serves no practical purpose. Terrible boarding and check in process! The staff is untrained, uncoordinated and clueless.

Not Verified | Such a worst experience. My advise people don't book this flight. Nobody bother to address the queries. Not even helping for boarding pass. No early check in baggage facilities. We need to wait till an hour before your boarding. You can't go to Lounge due to this. They don't have kiosk facilities also for boarding pass. So we need to wait till counter opens. Never ever i book again in Akasa Air.

✅ Trip Verified | It was my 1st time to fly Akasa Air and was quite sceptical about it since I had read so many negative reviews about the airline. But the experience I got even before boarding the airline till I landed was exceptionally good. Customer helpline operators were really polite, well behaved and really helpful. Flight was on time, no hassle there. The staff were really good. The aircraft, a Boeing 747 was really clean and the inside of it was really colorful and pleasant to look at. The seats were also comfortable with ample leg space for a tall guy like me. The cabin crew members were also very helpful and didn't make a fuss about anything. So overall, the whole experience was positive and made me a happy and a satisfied person. I have absolutely no doubt to fly Akasa Boeing again and I would definitely recommend this airline to everybody. Thanks Akasa for a wonderful experience! (I didn't order any food or beverages and never used the wifi so wouldn't be giving any rating for that).

Not Verified | Firstly the flight was delayed by one hour and then when you are in the flight some kind of polite behaviour is required from the staff. Air hostess was very rude when I asked her to help with my luggage. She said that "we are not here to pick up luggage of people". Working with the service industry and answering in this manner to your customer is just not acceptable.

✅ Trip Verified | Never be flying with 'Akasa Air' again I am a frequent traveller and the experience below is my worse airline experience so far! We booked 2 tickets (different PNR), one was on my name - Ashima Arora and the other was on my husbands name - Nishan Singh. My infant ticket was attached to my husbands PNR. My husband couldn't travel because of some personal reasons. We (Myself and My infant) reached the Akasa Air counter on time (10am it was and the flight was at 11am), my boarding pass was also printed but when the staff realized that my infant was added in a different PNR, he asked me to wait and tried calling the supervisor/manager to check what needs to be done in this case. I was standing there for 30 minutes and constantly reminding the staff about the moving clock. However, he assured me that I need not worry as they'll have me onboard. After 30 minutes at 10:30am, the staff told me that I need to pay Rs1500 to move my child's name in my PNR number from my husbands PNR. I tried to find out the real reason behind the charges as there are airlines that do not charge for it if it has to be from one parent to another parent. It was 10:32am. I took 1 minute to absorb those charges and told the counter staff that I'll pay as I want to board that flight. It was 10:33am. He called someone again (I believe it was a supervisor standing on the boarding gate) in front of me that the passenger was ready to pay now, but the person on the other side refused to take the payment and have us board the flight. So, the staff took 30 minutes to inform me about the next step but did not spare even 3 minutes of time to let me absorb those extra charges I had to pay (for PNR move). We were left there and couldn't board that flight. I waited for the supervisor/manager for another 1 hour and 30 minutes but no one showed up even the staff informed them that the passenger was waiting. I was left with no other choice and I reached out to the airport authority with the concern. When the staff of airport authority accompanied me, only then the supervisor showed up. He started giving some lame excuses that I was already late for the flight at 10:30am and I reached late to the airport. Since they have very less number of flights operational and haven't even tied up with any other airline, they could only place me in the next day flight. And now, I had to pay Rs1500 for moving the infant's name and Rs2000 extra to secure my seat for the next day. And these charges were for one-side travel. Similarly, for the way back from Kochi to BNG I again paid Rs1500 for the infant. I actually had to pay double i.e. Rs6000 which is higher than my ticket's original price for my infant. And additionally Rs2000 more for my ticket too. Spent around 14 hours in the airport with my infant. Lost a day of hotel booking charges too since we were flying for holidays and the holiday package was already booked. When I wrote this concern to their customer support, initially I started getting response with as if I have connected to the wrong team with the concern. After writing to then a number of times, I got a response saying that all fault was of us as passengers and thus, they can't help in any which means without letting me know their source of collecting the facts or the information. The resistance was very clear in the emails I received from the customer care too.

✅ Trip Verified | I travelled twice within a span of three weeks. Positives: - Inflight service is good - Staff is courteous in flight - Baggage comes on time. Negatives: - Boarding is entire chaos, they dont know how to even organise boarding from gate. - Flight is divided into zones where zone 2,3 and 4 can board early to avoid congestion but no one announces this! Check in staff horrendous - I specifically asked for my paintings to be put the Fragile tag but they didn't put it with the result one of them was destroyed.
