Overall, one doesn't fly AY for the meals.
So true. If anything it may be a reason to avoid AY.
Why do I say that? Because AY routinely takes a long time to serve meals in business class on the likes of HEL-DEL too where the trip time just isn't that long.
Even when the business class section is barely half-full on HEL-DEL, AY seem to run down the clock anyway with the end result being that a third to half of the flight is used for meal service -- that means getting even 3 hours of in-flight sleep in the seats is no walk in the park on AY flights even when the trip is scheduled for nearly 7 hours.
Little point in flying business class from HEL to DEL if you are going to arrive tired in the morning anyway.
