Has anyone done *standby* domestic flights in India?

Question

How did it work out? Did you use a travel agent, online, or the old fashioned way at the airport?

I'll probably need Delhi to Kerala (Cochin or Trivandrum) last week of April or first week of May.

Thanks :).

Answer 1

I always recommend to go through a travel agent than an online portal. This is because, on a portal they offer internet fares which are NETT & NON ENDORSABLE i.e no changes permitted. You cannot make any changes if you wish to. For every change / modification the portal guys will ask you to call the airline directly. And sometimes even the airlines cannot help you out as the fares would be on a promotional offer and NO changes permitted.

Where as, a traditional travel agent will be your travel consultant. He can do as many changes / alterations for you. He can reconfirm your flights, process the cancellations, refunds etc. You need not call different airlines for all your requirements.

Better use travel agent is faster.

Alternately try www.yatra.com as they have some preallocated seats that may be still available.*
