Why? I flew BKK Delhi Heathrow return it was the cheapest, and free 3 date changes, nice food, crew a bit grumpy, but they were having pay/strike issues at the time, short stopovers. 5* from me.

spidermike007 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 This is not big news. Other airlines have had direct flights from Delhi for quite some time. Most Indians prefer to avoid Air India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
