Akasa Air

✅ 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.

✅ Trip Verified | I don't know where to start, this airline is always late. Akasa is undoubtedly known for the delays it causes, mainly by a few hours and sometimes even almost a day. Akasa gave 1 hour time before the departure, as its boarding time, which is atrocious. Today, I was on the way to the airport, when I received a last moment notification stating the delay of my flight QP 1314 by an hour, which was still okay at that point. The madness began when I reached the airport and was lined in the queue for checking in my luggage when the Akasa employees started pulling out other passengers from another flight that had begun boarding. On finally reaching the counters after over half an hour, the ground staff refused to take my luggage as the Departure time was 3.30 pm after the delay, and the "boarding" mentioned by them was 2.30 pm and the time was 2.32 pm. They refused the baggage, and I had to run through security with 15kg of luggage, which had 2 bottles of alcohol. Upon finally reaching the gate, the flight was mentioned delayed again. The boarding did not start before 3.20 pm.

✅ Trip Verified | Newest of all Indian airlines, started just 2 months back. Another LCC, ticket price competitive, boarding was smooth. Flight was on time. Seats just ok as per LCC standard, cabin was clean and hygienic, cabin crew courteous.
