Agree, I have experienced all three...
Would rate VS best in terms of service & food and TK is best in terms of seat pitch (max). BA for none (except for the fact they ug my award ticket 3 out of 4 times). BTW: VS has a 50% bonus miles offer, check this: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/virgi...10-2011-a.html |

You have to be US based for the VS offer, and I think most of us, including OP. are India based

Was the food Veg? And wats the seat pitch on VS? Is it premium economy on all 4 legs? And do they provide priority services on the airport?
Seat pitch TK is better than VS VS has priority services for PE (but no lounge) VS food choices: http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/in...conomymenu.jsp I am not veg, so can't comment on their veg options |

With all sector prem eco, approx charges would be:
Virgin - ~94.5K per person BA - ~96.5K per person AF also offer PE, but that would be expensive at 115K per person. also, i would suggest the op wait a few more months to see if the airlines offer some summer discounts, which they normally do around q1 of every year.... |
While you finalize your carrier, it would be worthwhile to note some experience at TK here:

If you are just concerned with thee food being Veg I would not worry. I have never heard of a single airline that does not have veg food. Just know that you need to request it in advance. Most airlines even offer a hindu meal also. If you are concerned that the food is tasty that is a different story. If flying coach I suggest you pack your own meal if tasty food is very important. That would apply for any airline.
Quite honestly I don't know that I would do much real research on this. All airlines are about the same in coach and I really don't think one airport is much better than the other. I would not pay more than a couple hundred dollars to fly one airline over the other as long as we are talking about the same number of connections and it is a reasonable length connection. It makes no sense to debate FRA or MUC or IST or BRU and then rule out LHR because of $50 in taxes. If $50 is important than just buy the cheapest ticket as the airlines are all about the same. And do know that if your final destination is in NJ it will cost over $100 for a taxi from JFK. |

My main concern is the food being veg coz i have read on the internet that some gulf carriers had included meat and some cases beef in the veg/hindu food... If i have to fly coach then i would favor AI coz its cheaper plus its non stop... Its the PE cabin that i wanted to know about between TK and VS.. I wanted to know about the airports so that my mom doesn't have to run around at the airports... I was looking at hassle-free connections rather than the fees that LHR charge. |

I suggest TK over VS for many reasons, not the least that flying a roundtrip in comfort class on this itinerary will get you *G, which is an incredible perk (A3 ftw). |

That's interesting to know that one round trip in comfort with TK will fetch star gold status with staralliance. However, I am not able to figure out the maths, can someone please help?
