This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Amazing review as always 👏 I always fly local european carriers and I can say that None of them matched the class of Indigo. All local planes in Europe literally sell their base ticket without baggage that got me in trouble many times due to the complicated algorithm but Indigo always provides baggage allowance along with the base ticket… Indigo is the best 👌
Superb
Hi Kevin,
Is Jaipur Rajasthan on your itinerary. If yes, would love to meet you.
Let me know 🙂

Hello Kevin. Another good trip report. Seeing the efficiency of IndiGo Airlines makes me wish that some of the airlines here in Canada (are you reading this Air Canada and Sunwing) could be as efficient. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this vlog. Very informative. Fly and stay safe. Ciao. 2023.
If I can make a suggestion, please don't speed up the takeoff section in your videos. Takeoff is one of the most thrilling parts(if not the most) of a flight and speeding it up doesn't do justice.
I really hope you experience Bengaluru Airport's Terminal 2 ASAP.
The person in Blue Polo at 2:14 is a Gujarati and Hindi Actor Mr Tiku Talsania
All the best for your channel to grow 🙌 👍 👏
Could you do a Vande Bharat express train review? Its a premium new train service provided by Indian railways.
Love ur videos man , highly underated channel wishing you to get millions of subscribers & success to ur channel ❤️🇮🇳
For domestic flights I always choose indigo, I've flown spicejet and air india few times and it was pretty bad, I've never tried go first, vistara, akasa or air asia india though
IndiGo is the best!!!
Finally true reviews coming by someone, love 💕💕
Great video!
hey have you traveled in vistara
what was ur seat number , mine i booked is 22 will it be over the wings..?
Very innovative carrier, another great in-flight review. NW in the 80’s used to have supervisors and management on jetways and cabin, assisting customers with baggage regrettable the unions got involved and the concept was discontinued…
Stay Healthy & Carry on… 😊
I love IndiGo for their punctuality and crew
Commenting to help your channel grow…. Amazing content
how could someone not spot tikuji at 2:18? hes a renowned actor!
Akasa is a new born baby just last year, So comparing Akasa wasn't necessary I guess. Sorry in advance but, Are you using some kind of AI tool for voiceover? Some times it feels like that.
Request you to please do a vlog on mangalore airport. Recommend you to fly Mumbai mangalore by Air india or Mangalore Dubai by Air India Express
Thank you for sharing this information!
Hi Kevin, great videos. I love your contents. Just to let you know, in this video timestamp 2:14, the guy walking in a blue tshirt is a very famous Indian movie and television actor "Tiku Talsania" 😊
Better than Air Asia? Debatable….Air Asia has set the benchmark for LCCs.
Seat selection is not free. Have to pay Rs 150 extra just for that, usually. Perhaps, for some seats, you may need to pay more as well.
correction the airline company with most planes on order is Air India
First time I ever seen a YouTuber has used captions of regional languages of India 🇮🇳 and I'm proud to see my native language Odia is the part of it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Try FlyDubai, and you will be surprised by the service and amenities, keep in mind that it is also a low cost carrier. It has an IFE, good food and also good cabin crew service. 👍
Indigo is amongst the safest because of their highly exceptional pilots and Airbus fleet.
3 n half he kolkata to mumbai flight is so uncomfortable due to the seats. Vs a 5 hr united flight NYC- LAX or Air Canada Vancouver to Toronto. I wish the non coming flights would make a comeback( so called economy flights charge crazy amounts in India anyway if you have an emergency and need to book last minute)
Thank you for the detailed information
Hey Kev, If I not mistaken, the last CEO of IndiGo was ex US Airways and the promoter too was associated with some US airline.
Welcome to India’s service flagship airline
FYI: They only hire female IFA’s. Males are not allowed to apply. Disgusting discriminatory practice unlike Vistara, Air India which has male & female IFA’s. The ministry of civil aviation does not care. Imagine the outcry by feminists if they advertised for male only pilots.
Usually takes about 5hrs from manipur to Mum, Pun, Del with connecting flights, I wonder why there is no direct flights in your own country? 😢😢😢
Special thanks for captions in multiple languages, you really care for your audience ❤
2.16 tiku talsania spotted😅
I’m a business traveller , and avoid indigo whenever possible.
My first choice is Vistara and then Air Asia
I’ve flown domestically with Indigo a few times. You’re right, they’re efficient and run a tight, professional ship. I needed to book two flights for later this year, Chennai to Madurai and Kathmandu to Delhi. Booked the Chennai – Madurai no problem but the next day their booking system kept giving error messages when I tried to hit ‘pay’ on the Kathmandu – Delhi leg and did so for days thereafter. I’m told by others this may have something to do with authorisation process for foreign credit cards. Anyway, fares were increasing so I booked Air India instead (who were having no corresponding issues). A pity because I like Indigo and their flight was more conveniently timed. At least I’ll get to try their ATR72 service Chennai – Madurai!
Indigo Flyts Very good Service
Tiku Talsania casually making a cameo at 2:16 lolzzzzz
Tata is coming to take over IndiGo's share. The thing with Tata is they enjoy an immense positive image among Indians.
With a ginormous order if 530+ aircrafts, the deal caught the eyeballs world over.
I just want competition. IndiGo has jacked up prices recently
The pollution in India must be really bad as all the videos I have seen on airlines reviews in India show a thick haze of pollution smog as the plane comes in to land in any Indian city.
I live in Sydney, Australia & I fly Indigo domestically every time I come to India. I have never had any issues with them. The crew are courteous & professional & the flight is almost always on time.
Even better now that they are a domestic partner for Qantas.
