Flying in India? Why not try SpiceJet?
SpiceJet is the best of India's new breed of dynamic low cost carriers and through increasing demand for its regular, convenient and punctual services it is growing rapidly. It will celebrate its sixth birthday in 2011 and in 2010 became part of the ambitious Sun Group , which is one of India's leading Media companies. Based in Gurgaon one of the high-tech satellite cities of New Delhi, SpiceJet is everything an ultra modern low fare 21st Century airline should be. With a growing fleet of 26 modern Boeing aircraft plus many more on order and a new fleet of 15 Bombadier Dash-8 Q400 turboprops due to start arriving in summer 2011, SpiceJet is on a trajectory to become everyone's airline of choice to fly between Indian regional cities.
Why choose SpiceJet?
We have tested the product and love it ! It smoothly combines the best of low fare airline standards with some clever touches which reduce the pain of less customer friendly airlines. For example it is punctual.. because they care about time-keeping and keeping to their schedule timings, it is friendly.. in particular the two most important touch points of check-in and on-board are staffed with knowledgable, smiling and caring employees.. and finally its works, nothing complicated, nothing badly thought through and nothing to make your journey unpleasant. In a land of extremes, SpiceJet creates a calm passenger experience despite the apparent chaos of its surroundings. Specifically, you can enjoy choosing your seat either before you travel, for a small extra fee (this is low cost remember..) or at check-in which means none of the pre-boarding queueing, running and scrambling. with the pre booking of your seat comes the chance to pre-order your in-flight meal which arrives before orders are taken from the rest of the passengers who have preferred to wait until they fly to choose their food. Apparently unlimited bottles of water are served, after take off and throughout the flight on request, a nice touch in a country where the dust - and the strong flavoured food -gives you a permanent thirst. Finally the aircraft are mostly brand spanking new resplendent in an eye catching red and white livery.. looks good and is good !
Exploring India with SpiceJet
Currently SpiceJet has many frequent services between the major 20 Indian cities SpiceJet has more than 13% market share operating 186 flights daily to 20 Indian cities including Agartala, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bagdogra, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Guwahati, Goa, Hyderabad, Jammu, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, Madurai, Mumbai, Pune, Srinagar, Varanasi and Visakhapatnam plus two international destinations, Kathmandu and Colombo. From the North to the South and from the East coast to the West SpiceJet connects communities and historic sites with easy access air travel. For those travellers who wish to experience all that India has to offer, SpiceJet could be the ideal option and tickets are available at very competitive prices. From unmissable tourist destinations such as the Taj Mahal (a true wonder of the world which is unbelievably beautiful and always surpasses the image the first time visitor has in his mind) and the Ganges River to the deserted beaches of Goa and the National Wildlife Parks for tiger watching, SpiceJet is the way go.
India is wonderfully disorientating, with unfamiliar smells, customs and noises alongside the English language and always a smiling politeness which forces a smile onto your own face, despite the delay, unhappy circumstance or unexpected failure of ancient technology. SpiceJet with its relentless modernity provides a perfect antidote, particularly on a three hour plus flight from one airport to another in a different region of India.
Travelling internationally with SpiceJet
In 2010 Spice announced the launch of two new destinations outside of India. The first was the teeming Nepalese capital of Kathmandu which is served by a double daily direct flight from the SpiceJet base in Delhi and indirectly from other cities with connections over Delhi but be careful Katmandu flights depart from Terminal T3 whilst all SpiceJet domestic flights fly from Delhi's magnificent Terminal T1. The other international service is to Colombo (Sri Lanka) from Chennai with an easy connection from Kolkata. This service operates daily connecting the two rival cricketing nations.
New service on SpiceJet to secondary cities
From June 2011, SpiceJet will start a new network of flight using brand new Dash-8 72 seater aircraft based in Hyderbad flying to places like Aurangabad, Bhubaneswar, Goa, Indore, Madurai, Mangalore, Nagpur, Nasik, Raipur, Rajahmundry, Tirupati, and Vijayawada.
