May 2023 Archive: Air India Review & Roadkill Law Basics
Welcome to our May 2023 archive. This month we published two very different posts – one that dives into a recent Air India flight and another that explains how India deals with accidental roadkill. Both topics are useful whether you’re planning your next trip or simply want to drive safer on Indian roads.
Air India Flight Review – What Made It Stand Out
The review starts with the check‑in experience. Staff greeted us with a smile, helped with luggage, and moved us through security quickly. Once on board, the seats felt roomy enough for a short flight, and the leg‑room was decent compared with other Indian carriers. The in‑flight entertainment system offered a mix of movies and music, keeping boredom at bay without any glitches.
Food is always a big question for airline travelers. Air India served a warm meal that was surprisingly flavorful – think mild spices, fresh vegetables, and a light dessert. The cabin crew checked on us regularly, refilling drinks and ensuring the cabin stayed tidy. Overall, the flight felt comfortable, hassle‑free, and worth recommending to anyone flying domestically or on a short international leg.
If you’re booking Air India soon, here are a couple of practical tips: arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure, use the airline’s mobile app for easy boarding passes, and pack a small snack if you’re particular about meals. These steps can make the experience even smoother and help you avoid any last‑minute stress.
Roadkill and the Wildlife Protection Act – Are You Covered?
India’s Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 treats accidental killing of wild animals as a punishable offense. The law recognizes that road accidents can harm wildlife, especially in forest‑dense regions, and sets fines or even short jail terms depending on the species involved and the severity of the incident.
For drivers, the key takeaway is to stay alert in areas known for animal crossings. If you see an animal on the road, slow down, use horn if necessary, and give it space. In case an accident does happen, report it to local authorities immediately; failing to do so can lead to higher penalties.
The Act also encourages the installation of wildlife crossing signs and speed limits in vulnerable zones. Many states have started building underpasses and overpasses to help animals cross safely. Supporting these measures—by obeying speed limits and paying attention to signage—helps protect India’s rich biodiversity and keeps you on the right side of the law.
In short, whether you’re flying with Air India or driving through a wildlife corridor, a little preparation goes a long way. Check the airline’s latest policies before you travel, and always stay vigilant on the road.
