Safety first, always. Better a delayed flight than a risky take-off. But IndiGo, please improve your communication at the airport. Last time, the gate changes were announced at the last minute, causing a mad rush.

The A321XLR news is exciting! Connecting Delhi/Mumbai to Athens is a game-changer for Indian travellers. But right now, just get me home from Bangalore without a 10-hour delay, please. 😅

Flying back to see family for the holidays and this is my biggest worry. Appreciate the advisory, but the real test is how they handle the situation on the ground. Fingers crossed for smooth travels for everyone.

Over 1 million customers every 3 days is impressive scale. But with great scale comes great responsibility. Hope their "full support" includes proper food/water vouchers for long delays, not just apologies.

It's the same story every winter in North India. Airlines and airports need a more permanent solution for fog season, not just annual advisories. CAT IIIB training for more pilots, better infrastructure... the works.
