I wanted to go to Chennai recently from managlore and since train was in waiting, so I booked for the flight. As per, I know this flight was recently started for this destination ( since a month back when I checked the flight was via Bangalore or Via Mumbai) .
Was happy that the flight is available. As I reached the airport baggage deposit on time ( around 2.30 hrs before flight) but still no ground staff where available at all. Actually the ground staff of Indigo came around 1.30 hr before flight. But since only few people are flying every thing from baggage till security and check in all was done very fast. And still I had around 1 hr for my flight. Flight announced was done, and we all went to gate 2 where the flight was supposed to come. After check in We were taken in a shuttle ( bus) to the flight. First time I saw such small flight, I was shocked felt like private jet ( atleast from outside) .
As I boarded the flight my first experience was meet plane but very small interior. 2 seats each side and it actually looked like small mini bus extended.seating space was normal but since its packed we can feel little uncomfortable. But it was just a 2.30 hr flight so wouldn't matter.
Services by the flight crew members where good but there was no food available on this flight. But we can purchase foods from the menu given but its way costly. I saw 2 cookies cost around 50 to 80 rs. So I dint go to purchase any. But my neighbor aunt had ordered for food on flight, and she gave me half to eat. The food in any flight cant get the taste and this food was also similar.
Ofcourse only water ( from the jug) was free. During the flight crew members were active enough.
Timing of the flight was as secluded and that was a major plus points.
Overall I would give Indigo Airline 2 out of 5. But much say for economy wise I could give it 4 out of 5.
Jai hind, signing off
