The wonderful Flying experience.

OK So Finally after 3 years, I managed to visit India for 3 weeks (an interesting stat that I am boring people with is --I visited India in '03 for 3 months and after 3 years I visited India again for 3 weeks).

Anyway was looking forward after all this time away from the home country, departed on 14th Oct and reached Singapore uneventfully (actually a wonderful flight experience aboard the Singapore Airlines) on 16th Oct morning 1am. The next connecting flight via Singapore airlines would mean a 19hr halt in Singapore and I was not at all interested in staying for such a long time. So took the much earlier Indian Airlines out of Changi Airport (Singapore Intl Airport) scheduled to depart at 7:50am. Well it was scheduled to depart, while in reality it was "re-timed" to depart at 11:50am. A cool 4 hr delay with no explanation whatsoever. The only thing offered was a measly breakfast coupon with which you could obtain yourself a a small dessert or a simple bun.

Coming to the flight itself--
Sing-BLR.
This was the earliest flight out of Singapore to BLR (the other otion was to wait until 8pm in evening to catch a SA to BLR) wanted to reach early hence took this flight.
The flight was "re-timed" to a 4hour delay and no explanation whatsoever was given. Finally got on board only to find the seats broken and of course the AC in the flight being a complete non-AC. Food was pretty average (Singapore Airlines served a better Indian Food than this crappy airlines). Absolutely no IFE to speak of, not even a distance single TV. All you could do was sleep. This was near impossible as the plane was shaking uncontrollably, in all possible degrees of freedom (It felt like they were trying to rip your innards out). They lacked even the basic amenities such as making sure that all passengers had an air-sickness bag with them. The result- people puked all over the aisle (you would expect that with the plane shaking repeatedly violently).
I am a guy with mild air-sickness but too much air travel over the past 5months was what just about kept me from throwing up. I was sweating profusely though and at the end was just freverently praying for a touchdown in Bangalore.
Lastly they stewardesses went about sparying some sort of aerosol in the plane and an announcement was made that this is safe. It was utterly ridiculous and I had never seen this before in any flight. It smelt more like a room freshener. At the end of it all, I was simply glad to make it out of the plane in one piece and not throw up. Me being a citizen of India am ashamed at the kind of service the country's airlines industry offers.
All this after an incredible flight in Singapore airlines from SFO to Singapore.

Never again do I plan to set foot in this airlines, I dont mind shelling out extra dollars and waiting the extra time, but its a definite no-no into Indian Airlines.

A total experience (not in a good way though) for the last sector of the journey. Boy was I glad that I am flying Singapore airlines all the way on my return leg. That was an excellent journey!!
