For ~ 3,5 months, starting next week : http://airlineroute.net/2012/07/06/9w-delsin-jul12/
Do airlines re-imburse customers for sticking them in glorified Y when they bought the ticket expecting the fantastic J seats?

And I don't mean compensation; I mean something on the lines of letting you change / cancel without penalty.
It's been done before, by several airlines in several lesser circumstances (IFE doesn't work, seat doesn't recline fully etc etc).
Typically, the seats, IFE, aircraft etc are not promised, but they are certainly advertised.

For example if one of the London flights were switched to the non-herringbone 330, or if there were a one-day equipment substitution, or other similar situation.

I should have worded that differently.

Airlines do compensate you, if installed equipment does not function as designed or imtended.
Airlines do allow you to chamnge without penalty, if the new aircraft does not have the class of service for which you paid.
You have no grounds to complain if the new aircraft has the cabin you paid for even if installed equipment is not up to your desire.
Airlines do not charge you more if scheduled equipmen is replaced by superior equipment.

Double Dilly
So it looks like they're going Double-Dilly from October.
"2nd daily direct flight from Singappore to Delhi
"From October 16, 2012, fly twice daily from Singapore to Delhi, with the introduction of a convenient morning flight in addition to our late evening flight."
dep DEL 9-ish / arr SIN 17-ish
dep DEL 22-ish / arr SIN 7-ish
dep SIN 8-ish / arr DEL 11-ish
dep SIN 23-ish / arr DEL 02-ish
http://www.jetairways.com/EN/IN/Plan...ghtUpdate.aspx
Of course, JetSpelling says it's Sinagappore - who said something about the email writer
- and the timings in the release don't necessarily match the schedule, but never mind all that :lol:
I presume it will be a 737 on both sets of DEL-SIN-DEL flights ? So your prediction is starting to come true.

i have flown jet a couple of times when BOM SIN was with 737 and it was a nice cosy business cabin with decent entertainment. The 737 on SIN route was different from domestic 737 with 16 J seats with 48" pitch atleast.
Air India had A319 on this route till last year and that was nice and cosy too. Now their A330 is awful in Business. Too crowded with mostly (i think) upgraded people.
As long as Jet is not putting a domestic 737 with the domestic J, i think it is ok.

Nice.. Thanks for the heads up. Though personally I'm not going to burn miles or vouchers on a 737 J seat.. More value on the flatbeds.

I dont think AI sells the BOM route well. Most people at work still ask if the route is nonstop or goes via MAA. Loads out of DEL are better no?
will the SIN route be the chosen one for route testing the 787? BOM-SIN-DEL-SIN-BOM rotation or mebbe with DEL based 787?

Commenting on 787 routes Is not going to get us anywhere till it actually flies the damn route.
