Spicejet not bad at all
The no-frills airline was not bad at all, when we flew last week. The e-booking was swift, albeit from a cyber cafe, with the exception of e-ticket printing woes, that seems to dog most airline sites.
But instead of repeating my rant, I’d rather look at bright side of things like the swift e-ticketing adaptation by many airlines and the overall smooth transaction in completing the ticket purchase, and even Email/SMS sent to my account/cellphone, upon confirmation, with the PNR number sent as a message, is definitely the right way to go.
And let me cut some slack for Spicejet, for their inflight magazine and the website (hidden under Check-in procedures) mention this:
Guests who do not have itinerary printouts are requested to collect the printouts from the SpiceJet office located outside the departure terminal. This can be done on production of the booking reference number.
That just throws my rant out the window. This is good stuff! (Now, I wonder if the other among the accused, in this post also practice this.) Having said that, the above statement does not have a good visibility and, it does not appear on the last page of the transaction. I wonder if this is done to discourage all people from opting for a print at the airport counter, instead of printing on their own.
These days, almost every airlines, which is operating in India, provides the facility of getting e-ticket printed at the airport counter itself.
I’ve had pretty good experiences with Air Deccan, Kingfisher, Sahara & Spicejet in this regard.
