Trip Report: Jet Airways 9W584 Mumbai to Abu Dhabi



Introduction

In January 17 after a spending few weeks in Mumbai, it was time to return. I was booked with Etihad. The Mumbai bound trip report can be found by clicking this link : Etihad: Mumbai.

Jet Airways being a code-share partner, got an opportunity to fly them on the return trip to Sydney.

Arriving at the airport

Had booked an hire care to arrive around 1 p.m. Due to traffic and drivers lack of local knowledge, reached around 2 p.m.

Check-In

Check-in was chaotic, All Jet passengers to Abu Dhabi and Dubai were in same queue for check-in. Waited in queue for nearly an hour.

Told the staff, flight departs in an hour still the check-in wasn't done, he said not to worry, will delay the flight.

At 3p.m they opened a separate counter for Abu Dhabi and Dubai passengers.

Time was 3.10pm, when I got checked-in. I had pre-booked window seat when I purchased the ticket. Didn't check the seat number and headed straight to security and immigration.

Security and immigration didn't take long as the not many international flight in the afternoon. Took maybe 10 mins max for both the procedures.

Waited close to gate for boarding to be called. Flight got delayed by 25 mins, which was fine for me. As I had a 3 hrs wait in Abu Dhabi.

Was time to fiddle with IFE. Didn't work, An app was needed to run the entertainment on the phone.

IFE

Conclusion

Flying economy class with Jet Airways to Middle East wasn't expecting much in terms of service. Ground staff were very casual till the end, if they had been proactive. Flight would have departed on time.
Wasn't happy that my seat was changed at check-in. Cabin crew did what as expected, hardly interacted with the passengers. Meal-wise option was veg or non-veg, didn't know what was the food. Portion was small, but adequate for time of the day. Abu Dhabi airport doesn't have much to offer for transit passengers, few duty free shops and restaurants. Overall experience underwhelming.

Thanks for reading this report till next time.
