Just received this e-mail from Jet Airways.

Dear Mr. Theflyingsikh,

Now travel with ease and comfort between Chandigarh and Kolkata.

Effective September 23, 2011, Jet Airways introduces two new services – Chandigarh-Jaipur and
Chandigarh-Indore via (Jaipur), which will allow you to fly between Chandigarh and Kolkata via Raipur, Indore and Jaipur without having to change the aircraft.

Choose from a range of flights listed below!
With these new services, you can fly from Kolkata to Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore and Raipur; Raipur to Chandigarh, Jaipur and Indore; Indore to Chandigarh and Jaipur and more.
We also currently have flights between Chandigarh and Mumbai/Delhi/Bengaluru.

But I was wondering who in his right mind will fly from IXC-CCU and v.v on the flights mentioned below.

Except for a few of Plane geeks like us!

What a/c is this on? a/c do these types of routings everyday, but rarely does an airline market it as a through connection with 3 stops in the middle! In some ways this seems like taking out of AI's "milkrun" book...

The irony is you could take a later flight on S2 from IXC, connect to a 9W flight from DEL to CCU and still reach ahead of the "seamless connection"!! Smile

From a hopping perspective nothing beats the erstwhile IT coast to coast hopper - MAA-TRV-COK-CCJ-IXE-GOI... a really scenic route!!

It's one thing to route the aircraft in such a manner.
It's another thing to keep the flight number the same.
It's a third thing to sell a seat from origin to eventual destination as one flight.

All fine until this point.

But to advertise it? Dumb. And to advertise it as something easy and lovely? Dumber.

Must have been conceptualised and written by one of their Cabin Children.

(There's less seams in this one though than in the anything but seamless Paris-by-plane-and-train-and-train deal, I'll give them that.)

How was the loads on this one? Would AI CCJ-TRV and CCJ-COK make money?

Slightly off topic but are flights in south india a lot smoother?

I remember a flight from cochin to bombay and it was the smoothest flight i have been on ever! the plane did not shake or anything that evening!
