It was a beautiful experience of flying over mighty Himalayas. Scenic views and a little bumpy ride but overall a wonderful experience altogether but loved it. Air India has a good in-flight service. Delhi airport is exceptionally good and so are the Air India crew. They did not serve meals but did offer water and refreshments during the flight.
My father being a govt. employee is LTC entitled. So we chose Air India. The service from Delhi to Srinagar was perfectly on time. The journey by economy class was comfortable as well. The connectivity is not direct as the flight halts at Jammu it took 2 hours. We boarded at Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3, which is beautifully made. The Srinagar airport is also fine but not that attractive. There were ample number of shops at the Delhi airport but the quality and number of shops available at Kashmir airport was not sufficient and better quality needs to be maintained keeping in mind the tourism value of the place. The connectivity of Delhi airport is good. At Srinagar is also fine. But security checks by army men anytime can be conducted. Taxis and buses were available too. Air India service is simple and I like it. Food was fine. Only I would wish if the journey be slightly smoother, but it can be ignored.
It's a cool place and I visit mostly in summer days, very good place to go and most importantly Jhell and Gulmarg is a very beautiful place for one to visit. One of the best place I have ever visited in my life for sure. I travel to Kashmir by train and it is good.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport is an awesome place. The service, atmosphere was awesome. The SpiceJet Flight was on time and reached the destination on time. The air over the Kashmir Airport was just amazing and the in-flight food was economical and fresh.
Chose SpiceJet because the flight was very cheap and the experience was quite nice, airport was neat and clean as well. Security was tight, good hygiene. The air hostesses were very helpful. Visited Kashmir for the first time in my life. The experience was astounding! I am going to visit the place again.
