    I have been traveling with IndiGo for the past four years. The reason I choose IndiGo is that their flights are always on time. Compared to other airlines, it is also little bit low-cost. Apart from that, there isn’t anything fancy about IndiGo.

      IndiGo is the only airline in India that has made air travel accessible and affordable for everyone. It is undoubtedly one of the country’s greatest airlines.

    Really good review. Not a lot to review lol, but that’s the Indigo way. Get straight to point, gets you from point A to point B without any BS. Indigo has made connectivity a lot better than what it used to be 10 years ago. Not to mention the absolute cost cutting they do to bring down the prices.
    To give you an example, I live in a random city called Kolhapur, which a lot of people don’t even know about, but due to Indigo my city has connectivity to Hyderabad and Bangalore via Indigo on their ATR 72-600. They also have plans to start direct flights to Delhi from my city on their A320Neo. And all of that for very affordable prices which are equivalent of first class on Indian trains which take much longer.

    BCAS rules in India do not allow airside transfer to happen. It used to happen earlier before the 2000s. However after 9/11 and especially after the Mumbai attacks, direct airside transfer stopped. There are proposals to bring it back but it will require a lot of work to do so. Also as for the security check process, the new CTX machines and 3D body scanners were supposed to be installed at all major airports this year but it has been delayed once again. Guess we have to wait till the end of next year to see them fully installed and operational.

    • @airedition
      @airedition  2 місяці тому +6

      That’ll be good when they install those!
      As for the airside transfer, I don’t see why that would be seen as less secure. Those passengers have all been checked at their point of origin elsewhere in India. Is the idea that they could have gotten hold of weapons somehow after that?

    As someone who frequently travels domestically in India, I understand your frustration with the queues in India.
    Most people lack the courtesy to be in the queue and not rush in and out the aircraft when boarding/deboarding.
    I wish the airline staff can enforce some form of sequential boarding to mitigate this issue.

      Hi gabe 😊. I have flown IndiGo Airlines from Indian islands 🇮🇳 🏝 Andaman and Nicobar Islands main city Port Blair ( now called: Sri Vijaya Puram) To indian cities Chennai and Mumbai......they are best Low Cost Carrier in india and the world . They do have best seats....and they clean they aircraft very well. I experienced these aircraft with new Recaro economy seat ...it's best seat at indigo airlines through out my journey.
      I believe you have traveled to Chennai with old seats . It might have caused due to supply chain issues......Indigo Airlines are upgrading their aircraft with new Recaro slim seats with business class in their a321neo , lr, XLR. Hope you travel in them and give your reviews 😊.
      Like AirIndia, IndiGo is also undergoing Transformation Change......soon you can see in their new aircraft which is equipped with business class, economy seats with Recaro slim seats and upgraded with big good looking overhead bags bins.🎉
      Please do travel on them.😊
      Thanks for traveling India. Hope u have a nice stay.....and All the best for future Videos and Travel❤..
      Thank you 😊

    I have flown many low coast airlines in Europe. All Indian LCCs are far better than them. In Europe and now in South East Asia, the airlines increasingly don't allow any checkin luggage even on 5 hr long International flights which is shocking to say the least since all Indian Airlines allow 15 Kg checkin luggage at very least in domestic flights and even more so on International flights.

    There's nothing special about IndiGo. Neither is there anything wrong with them. They are simply the default option because they're (quite) reliable and competitively priced.
