What's the big deal, sygic maps are pretty cool, though you got to pay for it.

Is it just me but I can't seem to get directions to anywhere on the new maps application.

The other big deal is the "you got to pay for it" part.

So does this mean the 5 will never have 4G services in India?

not until mid 2013 when they plan to auction waves in the 700 frequency as well. if the sarkaar survives ie.

Has anyone here flown RJ from India-US? Want to burn some Avios for a friend and RJ looks good without too many fuel surcharges. Is there a transit visa required at AMM for an Indian national?

Why did you have to unlock twice?

Ultrasn0w is only compatible with a few basebands (modem software versions for iPhone). The carrier unlock will be permanent and work with any baseband version.

I am pretty certain there isn't. I don't know of any middle east country that insists on it.

[Visa Information - Transit] Jordan (JO)

[Information For Normal Passports]
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max.
transit [[TIRULES/R32]] time of 6 hours.
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets transiting
[[TIRULES/R32]] for longer than 6 hours, but less than 24 hours
must leave the airport. Passports must be left at the
immigration desk. The airlines can arrange this.


Looks like you can TWOV

Also I am pretty certain Keyser has mentioned he has flown RJ a few times on Avios awards. I am sure he will chip in with some information on that.

Thanks lallyr and UA Fan. I'll wait for Keyser to chip in. Have been reading a couple of TRs in the BA forum as well. Looks like they have a pretty decent product.

Better *G lounge in DEL?
 
On my most recent international flight from DEL in August, I was running late and therefore only got to try out the SQ lounge...

How does the LH lounge compare?

Thanks Keyser. I'm planning to book a late November/ early December trip for my friend. I'll ask for a couple of photos and a small report. ;)

And after mentioning it to you, he decided to cancel that experiment and instead flew the tried and tested BA F! :o ;)

Look at the thread in the M&M forum... since LH deploys their monster C 748i to DEL, it can get very crowded before it leaves.

I was actually thinking about before the MUC flight, because I usually fly out of DEL on TK...

I'll check out the M&M thread and see what it says.

Haha. Thanks AJLondon. I'll get a report on the experience from my friend then. He'll be flying the A330 which seems like the angled flat and the A319 which looks like domestic first flight.
