Interesting. I remember the ORD/DEL flights on the 772... took that a few times. The long flight combined with the old airport at DEL made stop, and start connecting at LHR since I was going to HYD anyway - If I had to change, I'd rather change at LHR over DEL.
However, from what I understand, the DEL airport is much better now, so this might be worth considering if I go back.
Look forward to hearing the details here, specifically what hub and bird will fly it. Pretty much has to be a 772, 773, or 789 right?
