I have been on when it was 100% full for the most part.
People will spend when they want to, can and find prices sensible. Not all indians or punjabis are earning peanuts. A lot are highly paid professionals and/or just happen to come from rich families.
DEL yes. Most flights to DEL are 80% full in Business. I was told this by a high ranking SQ official at a party. They pulled out of Punjab as they just could not fill the Business or cargo loads.
Punjabi's are wealthy and spend a lot of money I agree. But airlines just weren't able to fill the premium cabins. Hopefully times have changed I would love for a long haul carrier to give it a shot.
