Jet Airways First Class - recent experiences
 

Has anyone flown the Jet Airways 115 from LHR to BOM in First recently? What is the quality of service, food and alcohol they serve?

I flew Jet from JFK to BOM in Business and at that time both the service and the food was really good. But I am talking at least 7-8 years back.

flying bom-lhr next week....will post an update after my flight....

Can you please tell me the quality / condition of the aircraft hard product & type ? Thanks

I flew it to DEL a few months back. Not impressed really. Gone down drastically. Only the hard product is good, the soft is basically business only. Food wise I was only given choice of two mains. I have seen more choice in Emirates Economy.

No DP anymore. Replaced by a cheaper champagne.

But I still fly it and have another one booked in 2 months as to me the hard product is better then any other that flies me non stop to DEL.

Yikes! That doesn't sound good. I have DEL-YYZ-DEL and DEL-LHR-DEL trips in the 9W 777 F cabin in the next few months. Was quite looking forward to them - till I read this!

As for just 2 food choices...wow... didn't they offer the printed F food menu?

And any change in amenities like pajamas, washbags etc as well?

No DP, but they still serve Bollinger La Grande Annee 2002, which isn't that bad. At least that's what I had last year.

I had pajamas and amenity kit provided for a two flight on BOM-DXB. It was last year August so not sure if any change is there. Just for your reference, I'll put up a link for my travel experience with here, in case if you're curious.

I would have to agree with some of the comments here -

Over multiple F flights this year, the hard product is great; the alcohol is similar to what most airlines serve in F; the food and service isn't quite F. Overall, they get a good chunk of my business because of direct flights, a great hard product and good availability of points upgrades from J to F.

I've always had the choice of atleast 3 mains, one of which is vegetarian. This is true even for flights as recent as 20 days back. Having said that, the cheese platter, deserts, etc leave a lot to be desired.

All my F flights have been to and from BOM.

I remember the days of both Krug and Dom!

Food wise, I was never too fussed with looks on a flight to India. A good tasting curry always looks a mess despite the best efforts of the crew/airline to jazz it up.

I flew Jet F in Jan and I was pretty impressed by the hard product although it needs a bit of a touch-up. The champagne was Bollinger La Grande Annee which was served generously, there were printed F menus with some delicious Indian food & a separate tea menu.

The food was probably at Qatar business level. The service was great including buggy pickups and dropoffs, however, a lot of people requested feedback.
