@flyspicejet is an airline that truly deserves to be closed.

It’s not about money (for them it is) - it’s about the harrasment and the abuse of power, their executives are doing.

In my case, it was someone named Mohit at Terminal 1. (5/n)

@flyspicejet is running an extortion based business where they are careless to do the due deligence at the time of the check-in, and create a hostile environment for the passenger forcing them to pay for extra luggage charges which could have been avoided if the passenger (1/n)

the other passengers saying that their check-in bags would be removed from the flight as well and they would not be allowed on the plane if they choose to intervene. Honestly, after this - I would refrain from ever flying SpiceJet. (4/n)

India unveiled its FY25 budget yesterday (btw, they have another one in 6 months) & it was very much a fiscal consolidation, jobs, and responding to people's beef about the woeful labor market (Modi lost seats in Uttar Pradesh).
