Thumbs up kingfisher and kingfisher red - what differences ?

Hi folks,

Just what is the difference between kingfisher and kingfisher red ? Is one the budget airline of the other ?

Is kingfisher red still ok with safety and flights on time etc ?

On another what does "konnect" mean next to a Jetlite flight ?

Any info much appreciated.

Cheers

Philip

There is no Business Class on Kingfisher Red. All the seats are economy only.Also no food is served onboard. They are equally safe as normal Kingfisher. Konnect is same as Kingfisher Red.

Kingfisher Red - Budget operations of Kingfisher : All same except no food on board, reduced leg room, more particular about luggage weight eg.,.if the ticket allows 20kgs, they will strictly adhere to the same.

Jet Konnect - Budget operations of Jet Airways : All same as above.

Jet lite - Low cost airline owned by Jet airways : All same as above.

There are no differences in safety, on-time performance et al.

Are you sure that a "konnect" is tagged next to a Jetlite flight ? Jetlite and Jet have two separate designator S2 and 9W. S2 used to be Sahara. Jet Konnect flights are still coded 9W i.e Jet Airways.
