And as noted, the trip is a very long trip. Not sure I have the wherewithall to be in the good hands of Air India for 32 hours. Would Air India improve sufficiently between now and March 2024?
Out of Asia, zero availablity to USA or Europe in business or first via ANA, United, Thai, Singapore Air, etc. Endless availability via Air India, though.
I did the NRT - DEL - JFK ticket this year, though in J. People have spoken about the DEL - JFK leg in F, I will add that the NRT - DEL leg in J was actually surprisingly comfortable. Much, much better than the aging DEL - JFK 777 J with the angled flat seat.
