Ah indeed! I gave explicit instructions about that to my TA. From DEL to GOI there is only one "proper" IT flight with F (i.e. the one via BOM.) IIRC, the other flight from DEL-GOI goes via Jaipur and is 1 class only.

The BOM-GOI sectors in Y have the regular meals, lunch or snack, similar to whats on the BOM-DEL sectors. There's a crew change at BOM on the GOI-BOM-DEL through flight....I doubt if there's a change in the other direction.
Hmmm, interesting. Any reasoning behind why the change in only one direction? Presuming the crews are BOM based, it would make sense to change all at BOM...

Right, theres a single class 319 via Jaipur.

I think the crews are BOM based and the time the flight reaches BOM (3.20pm) works out well for a shift change.

Interesting!

So would the crew operating DEL-BOM-GOI then continue to operate GOI-BOM with the turnaround at GOI before ending their shift in BOM? Or would DEL-BOM-GOI be enough work to for them to rest in GOI?

No rest in GOI - its a turnaround for the crew.

The crew work a lot longer than just a few flights a day...the first set of crew might work from early morning doing BOM-DEL-BOM-GOI-BOM before switching to the second crew at 3.20pm, which would do the continuing BOM-DEL leg followed by a few more flights after that before knocking off for the day. Maybe something like BOM-DEL-XXX-DEL-BOM.
