Air Deccan = All dirty !!!

Recently I had the chance to travel by Air Deccan, and the experience was really dirty. I was so pissed with them that I shot off an email to their Customer Relations department as soon as I arrived home. This is what I had written,

Hello,

I had the chance to fly by Air Deccan from Raipur to Kolkata on the 24th of April, 2007 and I am sorry to say I have been totally disgusted with the kind of attention you people pay to the basic amenities such as cleanliness of the aircraft.

I agree your fares are very low and you offer the best value for money but then what I saw in the plane was dirt and litter everywhere. It was disgusting and unhygienic. I am attaching some pictures which I took inside the aircraft for you to see how shabby is your service. The floor and the seats of the aircraft were dirty and had not been cleaned for ages it seems. The advertising headrest cover that you provide was soiled with somebody else's hair oil. Looks like you people save money even on all these petty things.

I am going to be publishing these pictures on my online blog and also sharing them with everybody who I know. This should teach you a lesson I hope and it should make you people stop taking passengers for granted.

Thanks and regards,

Mohit Singhania
