Any clue if they have anything similar at LHR? Or at DEL for F->J connection as I'd have to recheck bags ? Taking 3 massive suitcases back to India so it'd actually be helpful this time.

looking for suggestion.. got a UA award for next week - 14th - DEL-ORD in F but via YVR (i'll have to book a separate flight from BLR-DEL which is ok, i can work one day from DEL office)... other option is direct BLR-ORD via MUC on LH in J.. same number of UA miles (88k).. MUC connection involves a 6+hr wait
is AI F still something worth experiencing? or better to take the LH connection? also not sure about all these strikes in germany..

It's a tight connection since you need to collect your bags in DEL, clear customs and re-check them, but it's doable. AI will have a porter meet you at the plane on arrival from ORD and escort you all the way to domestic check-in.

Hi all, can anyone share what the domestic ground handling experience is like for F pax ? I booked an AI F award (was going for Biz, but F was availalble so thought it might be fun basically for the novelty). My flight is BOM-DEL-ORD with the domestic segment also on the 777 with F cabin. There is a 3.5 hour layover in DEL.

Recently I saw DEL-IAD (787 on AI) business showing as "O" first class (154K miles as well!)
Also saw the DEL-SFO 3:20PM departure without a first class cabin...showing as "O" first class when it was indeed business.
Did not buy those.

Also can you ticket AI flights through MP now? This has been broken for months.
