Bomb Threat to Airlines

- **Tier 1** (Should Book These): 
Vistara (for comfort, feels, food)
Indigo (for being cost effective, on time, no frills) 

- **Tier 2** (Doable): 
Air India (some planes are good now, but still inconsistent)
Spicejet (if you are in luck, it's not too bad anymore) 

- **Tier 3** (I Don't Value My Life)
Air India Express (fka Air Asia - avoid for life)
Akasa (it's a great flight, as long as you assume your takeoff is at T+2 hours by default) 

Feel free to opine but this is how it is. I fly every month and have done so for years now. 
Hope this helps before you book for Diwali.

Mumbai, Jun 19 (PTI) Police registered a case against unidentified persons for allegedly sending bomb threat emails to more than 60 establishments in Mumbai, including the civic body, prominent hospitals and colleges, an official said on Wednesday.
The emails were received on Monday and Tuesday. 

An email threatening that bombs had been planted was sent to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and other prominent establishments. A similar email was received by prominent hospitals and colleges in the city.

Considering the seriousness of the incident, a case was registered under various sections of the IPC at Azad Maidan police station against the sender, the official said.

Police conducted security checks of those establishments and later it came to light that somebody played a mischief as nothing suspicious was found at all these places.

Case ..

Does anyone feel like domestic flight rates increased 1.6x -2x for 2024?

what's the reason for this surge even when there are no long weekends?

Any tricks to get back to old prices atleast at 1.3x?

Why they keep price so high even when 90% seats are vacant...

I simply couldn't understand.

They are against unit economics or what...

Case 1, Price of Ticket 10k if 90% seats available

Case 2, Price is 11k if 10% seats available

Chal kya rha h ?

Flight Firms gone mad 💢

No alerts, no plan of action, no major statements in the media. Am I missing something or is this just plain, terrible governance.

Crazy how Karnataka Government hasn't addressed the bomb threat

TIL the term “Glass Cliff”

Quite fucked up. They're just setting her up for failure. 
Boeing has done couple of screwed up shit, and the killing of their whistleblower was really the last straw. 

Was watching the documentary recently. The first plane to go down was a Lion Air plane, the pilot was an Indian. They ended up blaming the pilot for the crash and said "A US trained pilot would have known how to handle the situation" 

Turns out, the pilot was actually trained in the US, Boeing was just being racist.

A Vistara flight from Delhi to London was diverted to Frankfurt after a bomb threat showed up on social media. The plane landed safely and is now undergoing security checks. This comes amid a wave of similar threats hitting various flights, leading the Civil Aviation Ministry to think about tougher rules against these hoaxes.

While today's

Why are flights so expensive nowadays?

Big layoffs at Google!

 Guess, FAANG are showing their fangs.  
  
 Apple laid off subcontractors and not employees from what I read.

They cancelled my ticket and haven't refunded still. Bankruptcy going on but no progress on refund. Anyone else also waiting by any chance? 🥲
