For the next flight ofmy Four Seasons Yacht via Turkmenistan and Saudi Arabia adventure, I flew Air Indias Boeing 777-300ER first class on the 9hr25min flight from Delhi (DEL) to Frankfurt (FRA).
Best sleep you’ve ever had on a plane? “Yowzers!” (Eh, for just 75K Aeroplan points, not bad, not bad at all.)
As I have said previously, the product is more than fine for me since it affords the two things I value most: space and rest. On a long flight, such as DEL to SFO, there is no better alternative to arriving fresh and rested after a full 8-9 hours of uninterrupted rest. Would I pay for it out of my own pocket? Depends. All I can say is that every time I fly AI in this route, I arrive ready to hit the ground timing running. Furthermore, as someone why genuinely loves the subcontinent, I love the attention and the ground service.
By the way - I love kala jamun juice although it took some time to become accustomed to. You can find it at whole foods - at least in SFO - and has become a hit at home - really nutritious fruit fill of vitamin c and iron!
