tiger airways has flights this month (just checked) from singapore to chennai for 139 sgd. hard to beat that! they also fly to bangalore.

just like what many have said, Tiger Airways.

The service is just okay. The food is horrible but at least it can fill your stomach. =)

I was looking up connections to Hyderabad and found that Silk Air (SQ subsidiary, but better Air Ho stesses, if that's possible) is flying to HYD again?

Does that mean (not that it makes a difference to me personally) SQ no longer flies into HYD?

I also ask because I did have some bitter experiences with KLM, when they quit flying to HYD, back in February, with no advance warning and re routed an existing ticket ATL-NYC-DEL-HYD instead of ATL-AMS-HYD.

Naturally, they were given a hard time, KLM I mean.

An ATL-EWR-DEL-HYD would have been a totally non-KLM operation. Since KLM does not do any of those segments using its own plane. IN such cases you are entitled to a full refund.

Many foreign carriers were frustrated by the imposition of about 24USD extra development tax per pax out of HYD. Europeans carriers did not have a healthy load, so they suspend operations till the conditions improve.

All I was interested in was safe passage for Mom, who was assured HYD-AMS-ATL-AMS-HYD when we bought the ticket. When they changed the route, ATL-AMS-DEL-HYD, I had issues, and so did they, simply put.

It's mostly, like when you know the rules, you know how to....

So they did not take her to NYC ? In which case, they can make changes as it depends on how long she stayed in ATL. I would have negotiated for her to be upgraded DEL-HYD on Biz with assistance

She flew the expected route (one stop, customs at HYD), ATL-FRA-HYD., on LH.

Not a penny more. Not a penny less.
