I suppose each airline is only as good as its most disgruntled customer. Some two yeas back I arrived at the check in counter 12 minutes before takeoff. I agree that I was cutting it fine. Indigo refused to let me board. I was travelling between Delhi and Chennai I think. It is not as if the flight had taken off and I was demanding it to come back and pick me up!! I was on a official trip and had to buy the next flight on KF (on my own) and return home. The next one is even better. On a Jet Airways flight between Bangalore and Delhi some 10 minutes after take off we heard some popcorn popping kind of sound inside the cabin. Some of us how suffered the morbid fear of flying were checking if we should start saying our last prayer. The flight attended said there was nothing to worry. Just a minor technical snap. Oh, thats comforting. Then the pilot came on the PA. He casually said one of the doors was not closed properly and the flight has to go back to Bangalore so that they can close the door properly!!! He said were were safe "as of now". Well am still alive to write this comment. After landing, we were made to change the aircraft. The one we had ditched had all its belly doors wide open and being inspected completely. So much for not closing the door properly!! The only airline worth your life is Kingfisher. And this has nothing to do with the air-hostesses :-) Indigo is no good either. I suppose each airline is only as good as its most disgruntled customer.
