If its business travel and company is paying for it - prefer Kingfisher or Jet Air.

If its personal travel, compare flights on http://india.makemytrip.com/

Personal favourite: Air Deccan

The choice of Jet is not at all surprising. Even in the international level, they can easily be rated at top 5%.
