One would think the new 321 with the flat beds in J. Assuming they want to “save” the dreamliner for true longhaul...

They new neo have flat beds?? any idea of the route it's flying on ???

12 C lie flat seats. The A321 can fly to Europe or anywhere in SE Asia + HKG.

I don't think they've started flying this plane yet or even assigned it to any particular route. SIN & DXB seem to be potential candidates for the immediate and near future.

I'm sure they're thinking of using this for trips to EU in the long run otherwise that's a waste of flatbeds - they'll need 1 more plane at least for that (apart from permissions etc.).

That is for the vouchers that were expiring during the lockdown period only.. they have not shown that courtesy to other vouchers expiring outside the lockdown period.. so if you had a voucher expiring on say 1st June, you got screwed.. u lost two months of usage time, and got no extention from vistara.. their thought process just baffles me..

The 787 was spotted doing test runs... but there was no announcement of the actual delivery. https://twitter.com/KPAE_Spotter/sta...18429237944320

UK got their second dreamliner on 15 Aug. Now that they’ve got 2 planes they’re going to start their LHR runs... 3 times a week starting 28 Aug.

They will also do (more ad-hoc) runs to CDG & FRA as well... perhaps even utilizing the A21Ns on these routes.

Now that flights to LHR are history, UK will start 2x weekly DEL-FRA flights next month. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com...w/80161955.cms

Curious to see if they will make a deal with LH to feed them traffic. The timings are a perfect match to the schedule of United out of FRA, but they are not allowed to take US passengers...

The award seats have already shown up on United:

LHR and FRA not working? Lets fly to Japan! Once a week. During a total lock down. https://www.airvistara.com/in/en/flights-to-japan

The nice thing is that it god slots in HND. So opportunities to connect to ANA or UA exists when booking with UA miles :)

It seems TATA and SIA pumped in 2000 cr into UK over the course of the pandemic: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com...w/82606984.cms

but Japan doesn’t accept connections right? So that would be of no use either? Surprised they are not starting US non-stop.. complement the UA network somehow?

oliver2002 May 14, 2021 8:09 am

I guess getting rights to fly to the US is rather complicated right now?
