Cancel: 'Operational Issue' ->Less tickets booked
Paramount Airways

I wish you had read my review first. I think Mouthshut is prowling with Paramount employees who are upping the rating with their positive comments. Some are blatant lies to say the least

Mediocre Business class
Paramount Airways

Looks like Paramount airways has publicity agents here 1. As an airline Paramount is OK nothing wrong with it, i would rate it on Par with Jet airways economy 2. They are clearly not Business class and should not advertise as such. I have flown a lot of BC national and international. 3. Regardle...ss of what you charge classes are classes. That is why there should be truth in advertising. I do expect a Business class passenger to be(and i get all of this from Kingfisher travelling economy class) a) Met and greeted b) Be given help with kids c) Helped in clearing security lines faster when you are with kids d) Helped with checkin of luggage 4. The seats is 10 percent more than regular economy class not true business class seating. 5. Kingfisher also serve good food but they dont use china. It does not matter to me since all domestic flights are not that long. The Service that i have got on kingfisher on every flight(and i have flown them several times now) has been exceptional. I changed airlines because Paramount was cheaper. I will go back to Kingfisher unless i get a cheaper deal from Paramount. My take is simple, if Paramount is cheaper than kingfisher or the same price or even slightly higher than Jet Airways economy class i will fly them. That is the value for money i see in Paramount. Honestly i dont think they will be an independent entity for long. Makes a lot of sense for Vijay Mallya to buy them over(In that way they are an attractive product because they will add value to an airline like kingfisher). Read More

The pricing would be 3 star. Dinner for 2 without alcohol would be 500 bucks. Thats what you pay in most places of similar ambiance.

Accident or negligence?
Apollo Hospital - Greams Road - Chennai

my experience with apollo is that they are not at all systematic in diagnosis. So they keep treating symptoms without getting to the bottom of the problem. that sometimes leads to severe complications. For all the mimicking of american style medical care, i wish indian corporate hospitals did ind...eed spend some time to see how US doctors diagnose and isolate a problem instead of jumping in and giving treatment right away. I also hope that there are more consumer friendly liability laws in medical care. It would help in making doctors more careful. Always ask a doctor till he gets irritated what the problem is...and what he has done to isolate it...demand an explanation.Read More

Bribes at customs
Mumbai, India (BOM) - Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport

We can keep blaming Indian Customs for corruption till the cows come home. However it is us that bribe and make it possible. A lot of us would buy a 200 dollar VCR which is a pittance of our salary but are so unwilling to part with a 100 dollar duty that we would rather pay the official 20 dollars.... Yes we save 80 dollars there but in the process we make it a practice. I think unmindful of our own delays if we pay the customs duty(and yes argue if you thought the duty was unfair, just take the bills with you) soon the customs will get realize the futility of asking bribes. The bottomline is dont pay.....Read More
