Air Sahara and Spirit of Hong Kong

I flied to Delhi for business trip and I was adventurous enough to take Air Sahara. I asked my colleagues and my cousin and 4th uncle & aunt in Singapore none of them know Air Sahara. Some people do not have good impression towards Air India because of some detail things (and of course, people tend to compare it with SQ & CX).

The trip has just ended this afternoon and my comment towards Air Sahara is: its good enough. At least its better than American Airlines. The plane of Air Sahara is not new and you'd say its quite old. However, they do have some little TV screens for public viewing, and they keep on giving a lot of drinks on the way. I guess I drank at least 5 cups of water and juices plus the breakfast and small sandwiches.

I'd tell the air stewardness' service is better than CX. CX's service is getting bad and it seems that whenever people complain them they might issue warning letters to them. I'd say if they do not have Asia Miles or Marco Polo Club its revenue would drop pretty much. SQ has been doing great now. Just like for their new planes the in-flight entertainment could start at the time you sit down and end when you leave the plane. Moreover, the food of CX is not impressive during my Asian trips lately. Mileage programme is a low-cost but effective loyalty programme, but if the flight service is not good, then sooner or later people would just leave. They'd just leave because the air stewardnesses speak poor English and keep on having no smile on their faces. May be that's really the 'Spirit of Hong Kong'?

My comment is: I'd fly Air Sahara again if SQ & CX's time don't fit.

Mysteries - The New Trend

I watched about film about magicians on the plane today again, The Prestige. I know I luv this kind of things. When I flied from HK to the US I watched 3 films: The Illusionist, Lady in the Water and The Nightmare before Christmas.

But - I believe that I always could get some hints about the trend.

P is right. People want to escape from the tense, detailed and demanding world. Mysteries could help.

Here are some snapshots of the 2 magician films I watched.
