BOM-DEL

Anyone any thoughts on the best operator on this route. Is King Fiirst or Jet premiere worth it and how do they compare.
Any comments would be welcome.

FWIW , I feel that for a flight of about 2 hrs , flying premiere class does not make sense.. but again its just my opinion and if your company allows it, why travel in Y

My feeling is 9W > KF but there are loads of threads in this forum where folks differ on which is better..but for a 2 hr flight, I will just take any one which fits my schedule and price range..

If you really want luxury, AI operates the 777 on some days of the week. You can get a First Class suite.

I flew Kingfisher round trip BOM-DEL in economy. Trust me - This is better than First Class service you get in the U.S. For a two-hour flight, you get juice, water, meal, tea/coffee, then water again. Luxury! You only get peanuts in the U.S.

Reminds me of when I was flying Intl UA biz from LAX. Went to the bar in the lounge and ordered a beer, almost fell off the chair when he gave me a bill for it.
