[Goanet] Experience with Jet Airways

not let me board till I had paid another 60 Euros. She was so very rude.  They even asked me how I could not speak perfect Portuguese with a surname like Pereira.       No wonder there is a website called IhateRyanAir.  Never in my lifetime will I take this airline.   Bernice Pereira
