I have noticed on other threads (BA EK AF/KLetc ) that cabin crew do not seem to like operating flights to India. No reasons are cited in these posts. I do not hear similar complaints re flying to China. Anyone have any information on this score? What singles out India? The hotels are excellent, more Indians speak english than in many other developing countries... is it something to do with bureaucracy at the airport?


here is an example from the BA thread:

And another from the same thread:

I'm quite happy to go on record as saying I never liked any of the Indian flights I operated, and yet I quite enjoyed India, and the hospiality offered there. Absolutely first class customer service (in fact, slightly OTT for my liking).

The cultural gap is huge and causes many problems onboard - more so than on almost any other flight on the BA network. These are facts, not opinions.

So I can't blame the AF crew ... OT but we stayed in the same hotel as AF ... but I think I'm confusing my BLR with my MAA ... I think it was Le Meridien? It's all a blur after a few years!
