I actually always wanted to write about that topic, because I have stopped to fly Air Deccan in India for more than a year ago. The experience is miserable: late flight (if at all), incompetent staff and alltogether a pain in then neck. It’s really worthwhile spending a few Rupees more for e.g. Jet Airways and just get nicely and in time from A to B without hassle. As I am on a mailing list in Bangalore, I am glad to share this experience from DIana Beier with her permission about Air Deccan. I don’t really wonder, and I second her recommendation to disourage people from using this below-any-standards shitty carrier:

Hi Everybody
Just wanna advice u not to buy any Air Deccan flight ticket anymore. Yesterday evening i was suppose to fly back to Bangalore from Cochin, but my flight was cancelled. In 10 mins at (22:30 pm) i found myself between around 80 very pissed indian and 4 totally inconpetent, loser Air Deccan guys, no girls, nothing in the middle of nowhere. They started to fight with each other and hit each other. Cancelling my ticket took 4 hours for them, and they didnt care at all. Cancelling means, that they dindnt give any money, just a peace of shit paper and i even had to pray for another half hour for an official stamp and signature and later on i have to go back to the place, where i bought the ticket, and maybe i can get back my money. There were no place on any other flights only at Kingfisher, what cost 2 times more. Deccan dont provide any accomodation, transportation, nothing. So be careful and be aware that if u buy Deccan tickets, probably this hapens… or if u buy it, then read carefully the terms & conditions.
Have a nice day
Dius
ps.: i’m wondering if “simplify” means that they hire people without brain and they dont have any business strategy or their business strategy is having no chrisis plan and shit on people…
