Flying in Foreign AirlinesBy: Vasudevan Rao | Friday , 15 May '09 7:08:37 AM Reply | Forward I do not know why people of Indian Origin do not use our carrier (Air India) or friendly airlines. I always ask my friends about their experience if they would have ever travelled on a particular air-line that I wish to travel. Based on their experience and satisfaction I venture to travel on a particular air-lines. It is high time that one should speak out for the ill-treatmnet and see that those are not repeated. Finally one advise if you feel uncomfortable of travelling on a particular air-lines "PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL". Please do not go by cost while travelling on a long distance.

Don't fly with Air FranceBy: Tejas | Friday , 15 May '09 1:33:36 AM Reply | Forward I have had the misfortune of flying with Air France. Avoid flying through CDG (Paris Airport) and flying with Air France.Racist and arrogant airline staff at CDG and inflight.

Mr.By: A.S.Mathew | Thursday , 14 May '09 20:23:40 PM Reply | Forward I never had the misfortune of flying Air France. But passing through Paris a couple years was the worst travelexperience in 40 years of travel. I had an employee ofIndian origin to give me the direction to board the rightbus at the correct gate. But the rest of the experience;from the arrival to departure was unfriendly and bitter.Avoid Paris airport, and don't fly Air France. Heathrowwill be next in line for unfriendly experience. Even today,both France and Britain are under a false notion that thepeople of brown and black skin are simply passing through from their colonies.

ConsultantBy: Vivek | Thursday , 14 May '09 16:59:36 PM Reply | Forward I have heard this kind descrimination many times from the coleagues, especially happening in Air France. This time, it happened with 53 Indians, so it came out to media (or media paid attention ??).Is is possible, that our lazy Indian Aviation Ministry comes out with a strict rule for each airlines, that they have to get certain percent satisfaction feedback by Indian Passengers, to continue business from/within India?India... Please wake up for your self respect !!
