They're going head-to-head with Air Asia, Indigo, Spice Jet and others on an already heavily discounted route. Good luck with that.

I would not pay money to visit India. But wish them good luck.

Love Calcutta but readily confess it was a gradual process and took half a dozen visits. E visa now good for 60 days and double entry but initial entry cannot be at land border point.
