Well done Air Deccan - it's not often that Spicejet aren't the cheapest, but this week the Deccan did it. Air Deccan flight DN - 621 is the cheapest flight from Delhi to Chennai (2999 rupees, including taxes and surcharges). The flight leaves Delhi at 1300 and arrives in Chennai at 1530.

This makes it 5 points to Air Deccan and 5 points to Spicejet in terms of wins in our flight surveys. These 2 airlines are clearly the kings of cheap in the Indian airline industry.
Kingfisher Airlines is leaving a lot of money on the table, by having their site down 43% of the time. In the last 7 surveys we've conducted the Kingfisher website has been down in 3 of them. It's a good time for them to whisper a few words into the ears of their web hosting company (and remove any of Kingfisher's other consumable product from their desks, if it's making them fall asleep).
A sense of normality has returned, with Jetlite being cheaper than Jet Airways (remember, last week Jet Airways turned the world upside down by offering cheaper flights than their low-cost subsidiary, Jetlite).
