The civil aviation regulator in India – the DGCA – has issued regulations that make taking pictures on board aircraft pretty much impossible in most cases. And this applies to both passengers and crew, though differently. Call me cynical, but I get the feeling that the DGCA is overreacting, though airline crew and passengers aren’t entirely blameless in the matter. Nonetheless, here’s a deep-dive into the latest regulations on this front.

Now seems to be the time to actively market differential pricing (read: differential benefits) on airfares (and we’re not talking just travel classes). The trend is catching on globally, and closer home, Etihad and Jet Airways have done it already, with some success it seems. That success is probably what has triggered Indigo to follow suit, with Fare Types, their own version of fare choices! Read on…

…or, The week that was – 11 September 2016.
Fifteen years back today changed the way many of us look at the world – more in the wrong way – and brought in massive changes to air travel. Think enhanced security, “random” screening, and whatever else!
Anyway, it’s been a rather slow week here at MAEM, but that doesn’t mean things aren’t happening out there in the travel, hotels and airlines space. So here’s a round up of the week that was – a summary of posts on this blog as also other things travel, aviation, points and miles that we found interesting.Hope you had a great week, and here’s wishing you the very best in the next one!

Last week we published the first part of our series on Defunct Airlines of India, in which we covered some stalwarts and fresh approach in the form of Vayudoot, Damania Airways and Skyline NEPC. This week, we take a look at two airlines that entered the market with very different – in fact, extreme – approaches. But almost as if to prove that opposites attract, eventually came together. We’re talking about Air Deccan and Kingfisher.

Anyway, this time the discussion finally got down to something that interests both of us, though in very different ways. ASan is a bit of a history freak, getting dreamy and bleary-eyed when you talk of anything 20 years or older (he thinks he’d have fit better into society a hundred years ago, than now). And I’m an AvGeek to the core and a huge fan of REG Davies. So when the talk finally came around to Indian airline companies that used to be, we hit paydirt!
After some decent and serious research, we think we’ve come up with our own Indian Aviation History 101. Given the volume there is to share, we’ll be splitting this up into multiple posts. Here’s Part 1.

It seems safe to say that this was IHG’s week, with all that they’ve announced in terms of promotions, etc. So here’s a round up of the week that was – a summary of posts on this blog as also other things travel, aviation, points and miles that we found interesting.Hope you had a great week, and here’s wishing you the very best in the next one!

Alright, let me start by saying – this is complete speculation on my part. But I’m wondering if Vistara will soon join a global airline alliance? Well, maybe not in the immediate future, but perhaps in the short term, like say 2 years?
