flight from Delhi to Amsterdam
I think KLM needs to up their game if they want to keep their clients who probably fly with other airlines as well. In terms of space and comfort it’s okay, but the overall feeling was really dated and left me thinking that if I had paid full price for a business class ticket, I’d be bummed out.

Taken after my Delta Air Lines flight from ATL-MCO. Despite the flight's arrival at midnight, the flight crew was very friendly and stayed around to talk :)

This was the end of the third flight during my spring break *adventure* to Florida...ORD-DTW (NW DC-9), DTW-ATL (DL 757), ATL-MCO (DL 767).

Malaysia Airlines Economy Class meal

Economy Class meal Taipei to Los Angeles
that looks pretty good actually. shrimp in an economy class dinner

The inflight food on (Malaysian Airline) is always great!
The food served by MAS over the Pacific Ocean en route to North America definitely trumped the stuff they dished on the way to Asia. They must have a better caterer in Taipei than the one in Los Angeles.

jet airways business class seats

Just back from India with Jet Airways, thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The seats are much more comfy than they look, and as a bed they are great.
this is clearly on par with Singapore Air's new business class. Enormous IFE screen, good AVOD system, incredible legroom and facilities. Special mention to the food and drinks, i don't like champagne but Dom Perignon 1998 isn't something you can't refuse...
In terms of service, it's good, but not outstanding. they still need to "polish" their crew. But overall, the secondbest flight experience i had this year.

This layout looks nice, but only if I was traveling solo. I can't wait for Kingfisher to launch some new routes
