    For those wishing larger leg space, wider seats etc, its the same aircrafts and same seats, sit cramped and the passenger sitting next will step on your feet, air-hostess will stare when you don't buy food and keep asking for free glass water

    It is not a wise idea to resume flights from May 25 as lockdown in many places are in effect for some reason or the other. As we all know that Covid-19 has done lot of damage both physically, mentally, financially and you name it. Airlines will have a tough time to handle the situation as do's and don'ts has to be have to be observed by passengers as well as crew members.

    Yes; it may be a wrong time owing to the pandemic at the rise. But dont you think as there are people coming back to india due loss of job and / or because they want to be with their families ; there are also people stranded in different states who need to resume their work. Government should resume the international flights too considering those people who are in dire need to go back to their familes and are stranded here in india.

    Yes , it’s a part of evacuation. But , the people traveling are taking huge risk than anyone. They have compelling reason that outweigh risk of coronavirus. So people jumping over this should calm down.

    These domestic flights take the bookings and cancel the flights as dates of flying are coming close-by. They took bookings in first week of April...and end of April said no flights. Again inthe month of may they started the process of bookings and few days before cancelled the flights. They never refund the money back to the customer but giving an option to fly at a later date once they start flying. Now, this is the third time they open up the bookings. They must be doing this to pay salaries for their staff??????
