I flew Jet Airways from Mumbai (Rhymes well with pigsty) to Bangalore, the flight and in flight service were excellent, but the airport at Mumbai was the pits.

Would be interested to know other peoples opinions if they do fly this route, Je Airways planes are great and nothing to complain about their on flight service, but airports are an "experience" and if anyone had a cancelled flight and the same experience as I did getting sent back Air India via Delhi, well!!!!

unlucky, ian, but at least the pilot was awake...

New Delhi, India: An Air India flight headed for Mumbai overshot its destination and was halfway to Goa before its dozing pilots were woken out of a deep slumber by air traffic control, a report said.

The high altitude nap took place about two weeks ago, the Times of India newspaper reported yesterday.

Some 100 passengers were on board the state-run flight that originated from Dubai and flew to the western Indian city of Jaipur before heading south to Mumbai when both pilots fell asleep, a source told the paper.

The plane flew to Mumbai on autopilot, but when air traffic there tried to help the aircraft land, the plane ignored their instructions and carried on at full speed towards Goa.

Finally, air traffic control buzzed the cockpit and woke up the pilots, who turned the plane around, the report said. When contacted by the newspaper, Air India said it was gathering information on the incident.
