This link suggests a 148 seat config. http://www.business-standard.com/art...0100951_1.html
Unconfirmed info i recd from a DEL T3 source who claims to have been onboard: 12J, 36 Y+, 108Y. IFE equipment was being tested, but i find that hard to believe (IFE).
Common in both versions is that there is 6 rows of a Y+ type product with 34-36" legroom. Interesting how this will pan out!

I wonder how many will pay extra for Y+ in India. If your company pays Business for you - you would travel there. If you have to pay for your own ticket - you would pay Y fare. Dont know who is the target audience for this. Or maybe they will have a auto-upgrade thing for FF.

Though the reason behind it was only the novelty factor and this being my first inaugural flight in any form, so I may not be the audience they are looking for Y+ in the long run !

Impressive Website - Steep Fares
Just checked www.airvistara.com and I must say an impressive website
Screened AMD-DEL/BOM fares and first impression is they are around 20-30% higher for each date compared to other full service carriers - Jet/AI.
Not sure what prompts them for such a steep pricing - I agree they are positioning themselves for the uber rich class and stands on enhancing the experience but 30%?
Any thoughts?
