Jet Airwwys

[andy1308]

Jet Airways seems to be trying to get a slice of the BKK-LHR market. The new BKK-Mumbai flights connects nicely with the Mumbai-LHR flight - just a couple of hours layover. Their aircraft are pretty new too.

I've not experienced this airline before; I just know they're trying to target this sector. The prices (I looked for an end-of-year return over Christmas/New Year) are high at around 44,000 baht inc. taxes but it's another option, especially if they start to offer promotions.

I hope this helps someone.

On Feb 16 they took delivery of their 10th B777/300ER, they have 3 more on order.

Also took deleivery of 6th A330-200 on Feb 01, I don't know how many on order

They also have 20 B737/800's on order.

They built a hub in Brussels and fly Mumbai-BRU-Newark and New Dehli-BRU-Toronto.

Rumors are they are top airline with suite style first class.

They have a good reputation and should not be confused with Air India. However, the stop in India would be offputting to me.

I flew jet delhi-bangkok a couple of weeks ago, and was really impressed with the plane, food and service.

How is Delhi airport?

In a word: dreadful.

Yeah Ovenman, that just about covers it!!

Although, thankfully everyone had told me how bad it was going ot be, so when I got there and it was just dreadful, rather than completely terrible, I was almost pleasently surprised, esp as I was getting out of delhi, it was well worth it!!

A lot of work seems to be going on there, so perhaps at some point it will be a little better, but I won't rush back to find out!!
