Tough to say. If the economy holds, they will leave interest rates alone. If it doesn't (very likely), then they will lower rates and the rupee will appreciate. Which will help imports but piss off the IT/BPO exporters.

I see the £ has bounced back in the last week. It was 94 last week and over 97.4 today.

I heard that they the 787 on many of the european routes.. heck , they even replaced the 787 which was being used for Moscow route with the A320, so that they could use that for the newly launched Vienna service.

Even Aerofloat uses A320 on this route.

Well I wanted to apply ...used to have a few earlier - Manhattan(SC) , ICICI, Deutsche etc...have none now...

Reviews do not say much ...I can apply well when i travel too..but nothing lucrative
