Airlines of India - AI 348 & 349 on J Class

Hi
Has anyone flown on ai348/349? its the delhi-pudong and back route.
so they use the new planes with flat beds, or the old ones?
i flew with CX last month with their horrible old planes without the flat beds.

please post your comments for the route.

thanks

its a 2class config. I believe its a 158 pitch in J.

I would not risk Air India, you will probably get an even older A313 with seats extracted from Indian Railways! :D

If you think CX old J is horrible (and it is, to be sure) dont ever fly AI on a AB3

AI348 New Delhi Shanghai 11:50 20:00 0 A310

And what's an A313? Not at all sure if Airbus had a plane with that model number, or that AI ever used one.

thnx guy

I understand AI is flying A330 to Shanghai and not A310. I heard they use either 777 or 330 only on all long haul routes from now.

Route: From (DEL) Delhi, IN to (PVG) Shanghai, CN
Duration: 5h 40m
Equipment: Airbus Industrie A330-200 (Scheduled)

I think i got PVG confused with HKG. IIRC, HKG is a A310. but saying that i believe the A330s are ex-european charter origin aircraft so the seating is not as good as the new 777s, somebody correct if i am wrong?

LOL !!! Not far from the truth, at any rate !
