What You Need to Know About Airlines and Their Subsidiaries

If you are a regular traveller, you know that choosing a particular type of airline matters a lot. For example, if you are in India, you can decide to fly with Jet Airways or its subsidiary JetLite. Whichever one you choose, you would want to fly with the one that provides comfort and is within your price range. If you can afford first class or business class tickets, that is well and good. If that is way out of your budget then work within your budget. In any case, the most important thing about flying is that your reach your destination safely.

In this day and age, there are quite a number of airline subsidiaries that have come up. An airline subsidiary is actually a secondary airline that is run by a much more recognizable and major airline. In India, Jet Airways is a major airline. Its subsidiary is JetLite. In both cases, the profits go to the same company, only that each brand has its own features. The subsidiary airline will definitely have less extravagant features than the major airline. This will in turn mean that the tickets of the subsidiary airlines will cost less than those of the major airlines.

One unique thing about airlines these days is the use of airline credit cards. Airline companies collaborate with credit card companies to come up with credit cards that can be used on airlines. This collaboration means that subsidiary airlines of the major airlines will also accept the said credit cards. If we use the example earlier mentioned, if Jet Airways is the more popular and outstanding airline and has a certain credit card, its subsidiary, which is JetLite, will also accept the same credit cards. Since both are within the same 'company' the airline credit cards used can be applied across the board. The benefits that come with the credit cards can also be appreciated across the major and the subsidiary airline. These benefits include car rentals services, discounts on hotel reservations and also discounts when purchasing tickets.

With the above information, it is possible to have a rough idea of the differences and similarities between major airlines and subsidiary airlines. The important thing is to work within your budget. Treating yourself once in a while to a first class treat would be good but if you can't, just work with the money you have. As long as you get to your destination safely, you can either choose a major airline (in the case above, Jet Airways) or a subsidiary airline (JetLite).
