This might be the best airline I've ever flown and its a discount airline. I was met at the curb by someone who helped me with my luggage and walked me all the way to the gate (which is great because Indian airports can be a bit confusing). They had more leg room than most flights, gave me a pack of goodies, and offer a meal and video for a one hour flight--unlike U.S. airlines which might not give you that on a cross country flight. I flew another discount airliner, Air Deccan, and it was what you expect of a discount airline--crowded, unorganized, and no frills (you could buy a bad sandwich and chips). And they're quite a bit cheaper than Jet.
Kingfisher flys in and out of Kochi and I honestly don't know why anyone would fly any other airline.
