Guess that I have lost the good fares (hospitality and maintenance was not very bad though) with Sahara. Jet is completely unreasonable sometimes with the rates! Ppl can't offord it. It focuses on the corporate sector.

Right now occupancy ratio of jet is so poor, if it adds capacity of Sahara at high price - it will see losses only.
They should run air sahara as low cost airline - otherwise market will force jet to do so

yes, Jet has changed its customer friendly attitude and become arrogant now with their higher fares. The reason being they have more number of aircrafts and routes besides developing the corporate clientale with JP miles and cards. the corporate people, whenever official travel comes, prefer to travel only by Jet to earn mils for their personal use - once a Jet traveler, always a Jet traveler. Moreso, Jet also has its international flights to add to their credit.
Unless another private sector airlines developes like Jet with interntional competition and number of aircrafts with requisite routes competing fares, Jet will have it way...
While Kingfisher is planning for international routes (to US?), it might take a couple of years for this to get implemented..

I totally agree, have been flying Jet since 99 and will not change to any other airline. Agree I am a corporate guy and on expense account but u get so used to a specific airline that even when I fly personally I will only fly jet. I use KF airlines also but will not risk my life on Deccan. Yes the Jetmiles is a bonus which is why jet has the corporate crowd, KF is better but they do not have that many flights to all locations and its no use waiting at the airport for a flight when on jet if ur gold or platinum they try to accomodate u as much as possible. In the end its all boils down to convenience.
Also I will never stoop to the level to run and push to get on the flight so that I can get an aisle seat or something like that like what happens on Deccan.
