Any of them provide for a flat bed in business? Also would there be a difference in the miles I earn with the Mumbai stopover as compared to the direct flight? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
The Bom Jed flight departed today on a 777. They will probably use either of 747, 777 or 330 on this route. 330 will definitely not be used this week. I would disregard everything you said and just go direct del Jed. It's not worth the trouble transiting at Bombay even on the same aircraft, for a slightly better seat for an odd 5 hour
On another note, there is no flat bed on the 747 in business. There is a flat bed in first on the 777. Dont know about 747 first.
