Questions and Answers

Hi Lucky.
Love your articles.
Looking at India trip next year using Aeroplan miles. Living in ATL, best route is with Turkish via IST. I love TK, but also looking at Asiana (A380) or ANA (777) in F class going the other way ’round for a bit of exotica – then using TK on the return with more direct routing. Which of those 2 would you pick?
Keep up the great work!
Thanks and regards,

ANA, period for me.

Asiana in Business (Had first but I downgraded myself to business and I’m glad I didn’t waste the points.)

He’s also reviewing ANA again since flew them recently. That report is probably going to begin soon.

Another issue that might be of interest is the 9 or 10 hour connecting flight from NRT/ICN-DEL. ANA flies a 787 on this route that is soon to be upgraded from a regionally-configured plane which Ben reviewed back in [URL=’http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2013/11/07/review-ana-787-business-class-beijing-tokyo/’]2013[/URL] to an internationally configured one which he recently flew ([URL=’http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/10/19/ana-787-business-class-pictures/’]here[/URL] is the teaser review) Asiana on the other hand, flies an a330 with last-generation angled-flat seats. Asiana is better much at releasing award seats but, ANA has a more consistent product.
