List of Airlines in India...

With so many new airlines coming to life in India (for travel within India), I thought it will be useful to compile a list of known airlines and their websites for online booking:

SpiceJet - http://www.spicejet.com (check out for the special red-eye fares :))
GoAir - http://www.goair.in (Sunday morning fares seem to be the cheapest)
Paramount: http://www.paramountairways.com/ (business class tickets at economy class rates).
AirDeccan: http://www.airdeccan.net (the airline that started it all, the biggest network in India today)
Air Sahara: http://www.airsahara.net (useful for some exclusive routes, but expensive compared to other airlines, so stay away from this unless really needed)
Indian: http://indian-airlines.nic.in (look for Level 4 fares)
Kingfisher - http:///www.flykingfisher.com (might be on par with Jet Airways, has entertainment features)
Jet Airways: http://www.jetairways.com (probably the best of the lot, atleast three times expensive than the low-cost airlines)

Why did BJP oppose this important motion? Because, it is "the party with difference"... :)

Wow, this is some quick action! I am impressed. The parliament today expelled the MPs exposed in the "Operation Duryodhan".

"'It is plain, simple common sense. Do you feel that the dignity of the house must be preserved by the Supreme Court or by this house itself? What happened has been telecast. All of us feel something has to be done. The whole country is looking at us, at how the world's largest functional democracy will respond to this. I am not going into legalities. The question is whether the house will like to assert itself; whether we can speak in one voice to maintain the honour and dignity of the house" - Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee. Speech of the year?
