Flying from: Delhi (DEL) to Bangalore (BLR), 25 Feb 2004
Ticket price: US$220 (Economy fare upgraded to business class)
Flight duration: 2hr 23mins
Aircraft type & class: B737-700 (VT-JNV), Business Class
Meal type: Mid morning refreshments: Paneer Kalimirch Tikka (cottage cheese cooked with black pepper and Indian spices), Thai Corn cutlet, Avadhi Aloo Tikki (spicy potato cake)
Drink: Pre take off - Aam panna (spicy mango refresher) followed by coffee and water
Comments: As I was still hungry, I asked for the vegetarian selection. The taste was very average. The paneer tikka was nice. The rest was lousy. Coffee was weak in taste, and Jet needs to improve the body and flavour. For a two and a half hour flight, this was just not enough. Barely anything to eat. No rolls offered. There were fruits and a chocolate marquise desert offered after the main course. Oatmeal cookies and beverages were available too.

Flying from: Delhi (DEL) to Mumbai (BOM), 14 September 2003
Ticket price: US$140
Flight duration: 1hr 35mins
Aircraft type & class: B737-900 (VT-JGC), Economy Class
Meal type: Non vegetarian Dinner - Dahi wada (Deep-fried urad dal doughnut topped with yoghurt, tamarind and mint chutney), onion salad.
Entree was mutton curry, mushroom steam rice, and bhindi (okra) masala. Accompanied with chapattis and pickle. Desert - Saffron Rosogolla (sugar/semolina ball in sugar syrup). The finale is of course
the "after mint" sachet.
Drink: Packaged water, which was preceded by Aam panna (spicy
mango refresher)
Comments: I'm not too fond of Dahi wada or onions, so I skipped on both of them and therefore cannot comment. The mutton curry was a bit bland, but the mutton was well cut and cooked. Mushrooms in the steam rice was a nice touch. Bhindi masala was yum, and home style chapattis was nice too. Jet Airways meals are not the same anymore. Standards are depreciating gradually, and a review of their in-flight food service would be appreciated.

Flying from: Goa (GOI) to Mumbai (BOM), 23 June 2003
Ticket price: US$80 one way Y class (free upgrade to Business class)
Flight duration: 55m (usually 40 minutes)
Aircraft type & class: B737-800 J class
Meal type: Vegetarian Lunch - mixed salad, palak paneer (cottage cheese cooked with spinach), kadahi vegetables (mixed vegetables cooked in a tomato and green capsicum sauce), yellow rice, raita (yoghurt), pickle, bread rolls. Dessert - Shahi roll
Drink: Fresh lime water or sweet lime juice was available prior to take off. Mineral water available regularly.
Comments: For such a short flight, it's amazing they serve a full meal. What they couldn't complete or even start was the tea/coffee service. Please note that this is peak of monsoons season in India, so for the first fifteen minutes of the flight, the seat belts signs were on to negotiate those heavy dark clouds, so service started thereafter. Great food and excellent service.
