SpiceMax seats can be booked along with any category of fares. However, the price will depend on the sector the passenger is travelling to and what kind of fare (for eg., lowest SpiceSaver fares or bundled SpiceFlex fare) the passenger has opted for at the time of booking. SpiceJet has announced an introductory offer on the seats, so one can grab these special seats starting at `500/-.
Fleet redesign
The airline has reconfigured most of its Boeing 737 fleet such that the first five rows now have extra legroom. It provides best-in-class seat pitch as compared to premium seats sold on other airlines, and significantly more pitch as compared to standard seats.
SpiceMax offers greater legroom, personal space and added comfort. With this product, SpiceJet becomes the only budget airline in India to actually offer greater legroom, personal space, and added comfort during check-in, all bundled into one product SpiceMax. SpiceJet’s Boeing 737 fleet will have 30 SpiceMax seats (first five rows).
Customer-centric focus Announcing the new product, Sanjiv Kapoor, COO, SpiceJet Ltd., said, “We have repeatedly heard from many of our customers,
including our corporate customers, that while they are not always willing to pay the huge premium for Business Class, they would be happy to pay a little more for greater comfort and convenience in economy class so that they have more personal space, legroom, and greater freedom to work and relax during their frequent travels. They have also said that they would like to speed up the airport check-in process and avoid long queues." He further adds, "It is for these customers that we have designed and launched the all-new SpiceMax, yet another industry-leading innovation in India from SpiceJet, the airline that is rapidly emerging as India’s most innovative airline.” Kaneswaran Avili, SpiceJet’s CCO, added, “In addition to
customer-oriented approach
“I am always glad to fly with SpiceJet because it’s one of the best LCCs in India when it comes to customer-oriented approach the in-flight crew presents. Also, the newly introduced feature SpiceMax gives an opportunity of experiencing the comfort of a full service airline. At a minimal additional cost, I got the chance for priority check-in with the best seat to work on my business presentation with my laptop.”
