Help me plan: SFO - BLR - BOM - SFO
I'm looking for some flight-knowledgeable folks to weigh in what is the best way to do this routing. By best I mean the best in-flight experience for a given class of service and also the shortest trip. Or, if you think spending the layover in Singapore is a great thing, then maybe the shortest trip isn't the best. It's a business trip, but I'm not sure yet if I can go business or first class. So if you don't mind, give your suggestions for each class. My itinerary will be something like this:
Jan 13: SFO - BLR
Jan 21: BLR - BOM
Jan 25: BOM - SFO
I'm Gold on AA, but I don't have status on any other airline. For the purposes of this, let's disregard mileage plan preferences.
I'm asking this because I've found that although airlines will tout a given feature (e.g. SpaceBed), it's not really available on all flights. I figure someone who flies to India from SFO a lot would know the best way to go.
Thanks very much!
