Hi Shashank!

My best ever experience was Cathay Pacific’s ultimate long-haul flight CX831 from JFK-HKG.
Upon boarding, flight attendants guided us, even the economy class passengers to our seats.
The pilot greeted every single passenger, which is quite rare on other quality airlines, e.g. SIA.

Why I chose this airline as a remarkable experience you may ask. Because of the following reasons.

1. The new economy class is superb. Very few airlines have this new feature where the seat slides down instead of recling. This is truly a remarkable surprise.

2. The IFE had an immense choice of new movies fresh off the grill.

3. The ground staff (check-in counter) were very kind and interactive. The flight attendants were also very social and talked to the passengers.

4. A passenger onboard the flight had a bloody nose. The flight attendants cared for him and got him some medical treatment very fast.

Samuel.

It’s pretty sad what “delights” one by an airline these days. I got a “free” meal on Continental last month. The meal wasn’t that great, but just the fact that they weren’t shoving peanuts and pretzels in my face was, sadly, a delight.

That’s a bold question in this day and age.

In July ’08 my 11 year old nephew was returning to JFK from SFO and Virgin America had a guy playing card tricks with the kids before boarding. The plane wasn’t even late. And on the way out his credit card (for food, etc) that his mom had given him was expired but Virgin feed him anyway.

Impressive.

Southwest has the best flight crews, hands down. I have been on flights where they give kids something to play with during delays, they have handed out extra snacks (unheard of these days!) and even sung parodies.

I witnessed this when i was waiting at the Delhi airport on my way back to Chenai. I was on a business trip to Delhi with my boss. As our return flight on Kingfisher had been delayed by almost 2 hrs, we had to wait at the airport tired after a day’s work.

Next to us were an elderly couple, waiting to board the same flight. Unaware of the flight delay, they walked directly to the entry gate. One of Kingfisher’s staff who just handed over her duty and was returnign back met with this couple and enquired them about their trip. From then on she stayed with them through out the two hours of waiting, chatting with them, helping them with their luggage and she even went and bought refreshments from the nearby stall for them. Remember, she did all this after she was done with her own duty. It was a truly surprising moment for me. We were watching all this with surprise. We walked over to the airline staff and congratualted her for the concern she had for the passenegrs.
From then on , Kingfisher’s image in my mind changed from “A glamourous Indian Airline” to “An airline with people who are totally Customer Oriented”
