Here is my experience with three airlines – Air Deccan, Jet Airways and King Fisher Airlines. King Fisher has been the best in the class – the "King Fisher Class"

 

The first thing I noticed whtn I entered the flight, is the in flight entertainment  system. And the next thing you get is a complimentary pouch with a pen, head phones, two chocolates, and tea bags and even a menu. And then instead of cabin crew standing in the aisle and giving a passive security precaution, you get Yana gupta on the TV just infront of you  It has 4 Video channels and 10 radio channels, to make you forget about the slippage in the schedule.  I was busy watching the "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge" on Star One.

Airdeccan’s Airbus does have an in-flight entertainment system. A semi-common LCD hanging above your head with CNBC repeats and without sound. Jet Airways seems to prefer you to take your own while you fly

Secondly, the food was really good. I really loved the dessert – sandesh, of course the Apple juice as well. And the food was warm and nice. The paneer dish was good too. Jet Airways has a good cuisine too, can’t complain! On Air Deccan – buy your chocolates and sandwiches, and make sure you have change handy.

Next comes the seating comfort – I could use my 15.4" widescreen laptop in my laptop without any hassle on King Fisher flight. Excellent leg space, excellent comfort in the seat. And the seats have an adjustable headrest too! Jet Airways seats are crammed, very less leg room. And in Air Deccan flight, its "free seating" or "run for your seat". But the seating is just similar to the Jet flights.

All in all King Fisher is the best airlines for domestic travel. I’m not comparing on the prices, because its very route and time specific. And sometimes, you get the price that is on par with Air Deccan. Jet is always on the higher end anyway.

Finally, about the misconception that KF’s cabin crew are ramp-models, well I said it. It’s a misconception   I’ll be returning to Delhi on 5th in Air Sahara, so watch this space for more on the Air Sahara
