Now, MPs demand special treatment at airports
January 29, 2014  16:05
Airports and private airlines have been asked to give special privileges to parliamentarians after some of them complained of "discourteous behaviour" by the DCGA officials.

MPs have reportedly asked for advance notice on flight delays, special assistance from check-in to boarding and priority security clearances, besides lounge access and complementary snacks -- privileges that they are offered by national flag carrier Air India but not private airlines, reports NDTV.  

Union minister Praful Patel sought to downplay the demand to airlines, saying if an MP "is given a little respect, I don't think this should be blown out of proportion."
