Review: Jet Airways First Class 777-300ER Mumbai To London

Surprised by the lack of detail tbh

That looks phenomenal! The wine list earns a wow from me. Bollinger La Grande Annee 2002 is particularly impressive.

No smelly blankets at this time?

It reminds me of Russell Peters' joke. wondering how do you describe the exclusive smell.

You had me at the 2002 La Grande Annee!

Nice to see you pick the regional specialty food over the standard American/global good.

Bollinger is what etihad serves in the residence by default and those Bose headphones are the same as those provides in the residence...

@lucky Great review - just a semantics point, though: you said "chai tea", but chai itself means tea, so it's like saying "baguette bread" - essentially you're saying the same thing twice. I'd recommend you say just "chai" for Indian or middle eastern tea and "tea" for everything else.

Enjoyed everything else, though - glad you liked it 🙂

The Wine list is impressive, short but good quality and love the touch withe small tea pot - could make me take a cup instead of coffee.

@Forty two

I always chuckle when people say they're having "tea tea"...

Good product overall, but I have to say, the menu itself is a bit underwhelming for first class, even if it is a late departing flight (underwhelming in terms of the number of options available for dinner). Was there a snack menu?

How did the main course for breakfast taste?

I flew first delhi to Amsterdam. They don't have a first class menu as the first is normally empty. They serve crappy wine and terrible menu (they say it's club class due to first not being available ). They seats are old and almost rock if u move from side to side. Terrible aircraft and food. Good service for what's it's worth though.

When Jet was private they were hiring ex SQ crew and were largely trained by them. Their champagne selection is excellent as is the white wine. Serving Chablis Le Clos is one of my favourite terrorism and goes well with the spice and heat in Indian selections. They were also the first to offer a fully enclosed suite way back when.

They ran up huge losses and had to take an investor in the form of Etihad. Indian being India Etihad wound up with a large number of slots that was debated at length in the Indian media.

I have always enjoyed Jet service and it being originally private and full service cannot be compared to Air India

For wine geeks I was shocked to receive a Jadot Chambertin Clos De Beze on their flight from BOM to SFO via Shanghai. I do miss the private Jet Airways but it seems based on this review some vestige is still left on the LHR route

@Marcus
What do you mean by "private" Jet Airways? and favorite "terrorism"?! 😉

@lucky

I would suggest in the interest of safety that you wait to out on pajamas until after you reach cruise. If the worst happens and you have to evacuate a potentially burning airplane you don't want to do it in pajamas and slippers. It's a low probability event but sometimes things go wrong.

Great review!!!

Pleasantly surprised by Jet Airways. Great review-will definitely consider them over Air India.

Also you gotta love being carted over to immigration while all peasants stare at you 😉

I took this flight in Economy, and the experience was the complete opposite. Truly horrible.

My only 9W first class experience was BKK-BOM and that was underwhelming as well. Seats were in total disrepair with headphone jacks not working for most passengers. Service was non-existent.

Good to see only Jet Airways first class review. Can you tell about ground experience too?
