BLR - DUS options on SkyTeam?
Need to get from Bangalore to Dusseldorf in J on April 8. Currently booked on Jet Airways through AMS. I selected this route vs. AF through CDG because AF will switch from 777 to A330 April 1st. Their A330 doesn't have lie flat seats. Now I'm worried about Jet Airways due to their financial situation.
What are SkyTeam alternatives? I can depart April 7 and overnight somewhere if necessary, but need to be in DUS no later than 2PM on the 8th. I'm even considering a non-SkyTeam short 1st segment to get me somewhere on the 7th, then SkyTeam from there (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha ...) to DUS on the 8th. I've never been to the Middle East so a night somewhere there wouldn't be so bad as long as no visa is required for US citizens. I think worst case is I fly to DEL or BOM on the 7th, then take KLM (787) to AMS-DUS on the 8th. Also worth considering is the currently closed Pakistan airspace, but that is supposed to be resolved in a couple more days. |
BLR > BOM > AMS > DUS (Book through KLM)
This one would do.

AF A330 are being retrofitted with new J lie-flat seats. BLR is on the list of possible destinations with the new seat from April 1st, but of course it doesn’t mean that you’ll have them for your flights. |

AF website reads this: "From the summer of 2019, the new Airbus A330 will fly gradually to Accra (Ghana), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Cotonou (Benin), Lagos (Nigeria), Niamey (Niger), Bengaluru and Delhi (India) as well as Seattle , Chicago and Dallas (USA)." https://corporate.airfrance.com/fr/a...les-sur-airbus |
