Speaking of Dreamliners, my AI flight to CCU just got pushed back by an hour and changed to a 787 :p

Enjoy! We expect a full trip report! ;)

I'm staying with AI then for my flight hoping to have the Dreamliner to CDG.

On a side note, :mad: :rolleyes:

I always thought that Dickens' Circumlocution Office was a very apt description of German bureaucracy, but once again this week I am reminded that it better describes Indian bureaucracy. Once again I was invited to 'write a note'. I have no idea why after filling out all those forms a letter written in Germanic handwriting on a scrap of paper provided by the clerk gets the job done. Ah well, I'm good for another year, at least! :p

You should. Remember the "Alles fur deisen moment" philosophy. ;)

It's completely worth it. Having done DEL-MAA in Y and MAA-DEL in J, there is absolutely no comparison. 9-abreast is a bit squished in the back, while a bed is well appreciated :)
