They are offering excellent fares right now.  Does anyone have recent experience of Jet Airways, their record, reliability and service? 

'Excellent fares' tend to be offered for reasons other than customer benefit. This seems to be the case for jet Airways who are having some serious financial issues.

Great if you like Indian food.

 

Try to get the Delhi stop-over rather than the Mumbai one, if possible. Much better.

 

They used to have these great nets that folded down from the seat in front of you, that you could rest your legs in. They seem to have ditched them though. The other down side is body odor of your fellow passengers, can be a bit strong.

 

If they are cheaper than Emirates or the like, they are fine.

Jet is financially unstable. Months behind on salary payment, planes grounded because of failure to pay leases, main shareholder Etihad is also not in good financial shape.

 

Wouldn't risk it, even for great deals unless you can afford to lose your money & be stranded.

I would think twice about flying through India.  Their security when transferring are the rudest, most unprofessional and over zealous I have ever encountered.

 

Jet airways are ok, but I would rather pay extra to avoid the hassle of flying through India.

Pay on arrival

 

Pilots waiting for part of their November salary...

Situation at Jet Airways getting worse. Only operating 45 out of 124 planes. They might be offering cheap fares but that's no good if the planes are not flying!!
