Akasa's push for more comfortable budget flying experience
At the Mumbai launch, the first passenger got a special boarding pass—a nice touch from the airline's execs.
Onboard, you get Cafe Akasa meals, USB charging on most planes, plus services like Akasa GetEarly and Akasa Holidays for smoother trips.
It's all part of their push to make budget flying a bit more comfortable (and honestly, who doesn't appreciate that?).
