Here's a cabin shot of 9M-AFC from my trip to Malaysia back in 2006. Nice, clean interiors - Vivek

I think its best not to go there for some time considering the recent terror attacks. I haven't gone there since the past month or so. I'll wait till the security situation improves before heading there. Will let you guys know once I get first hand info. - Vivek

Nice shot TK. If you notice in the top right hand corner of the image, you can see a Kingfisher A330-200 parked at a remote bay. This has been parked since quite a few days, as Kingfisher has delayed the start of their BOM-HKG service because of the present economic crisis. A Go Air (Orange) A320 can also be seen parked at a remote bay in the background (just above the AI A310) - Vivek

Here are some of my latest A4 shots on Anet. Lufthansa A330-300 to MUC. This flight has now been shifted to a night-time departure BA 772 arrival from LHR Finnair A340-300 to HEL Air India A310-300 - Vivek

Excellent shots TK. You seem to have made the most of your short visit to BOM! Next time, come on a holiday and not on duty, so that you can spend more time spotting Looking forward to more shots from you..... - Vivek

I am sure you must have seen the new liveried Jet Airways 737-800s. Here is what the interiors look like: Both Economy & Business Class have touchscreen PTVs with full AVOD! The selection of movies & other audio and video programs was quite good. - Vivek

Excellent shots Pieter! Good to see Soviet-era aircraft in action - Vivek

Nice catch of the EY 346 and 345 Chaity and KS Ong! The light was beautiful EY sends a whole variety of aircraft to BOM. You get to see anything from an A320 to an A330, A340-300, A340-500 or an A340-600. The usual is an A330-200. - Vivek

Cornelis must have reached home last evening. I guess he will take a couple of days to settle down after all that hectic travelling

Well, Kingfisher is already a 5-star airline as rated by Skytrax. In fact, it is one of the six five star airlines in the world. Here is the list: http://www.airlinequality.com/StarRanking/5star.htm MH is also one of them - Vivek

Yes, they have enquired for slots at AMS, although they seem to be looking at other airports in Europe as well. I am not quite sure whether they have made a formal application for slots at AMS. Kingfisher's international product on their A330s looks absolutely fabulous (although its a bit too much of red IMO ) Their premium class (Kingfisher calls it "Kingfisher First") looks really neat. Here are the highlights of their International offering: The "Kingfisher First" cabin has 30 full flat-bed seats with a 180 degree recline, in a seat pitch of 78 inches, and a seat width of 20 to 24.54 inches. The inflight entertainment in Kingfisher First uses 17 inch IFE screens, with AVOD touch screen controls and offers a total of 357 hours of programming and content spread over 36 channels. Other "Kingfisher First" cabin features include: * An in-seat massager on every seat * Touch screen controls * Mood lighting * Service for jacket ironing onboard * Spectacle cleaning * Shopping on board * Merino wool blankets * Noise cancellation headphones by BOSE * In-seat chargers and USB connectors for every seat * 5-course meals * Finest wines, spirits and liquor The Economy "Kingfisher Class" cabin has 187 seats, offering a seat pitch of 34 inches, a seat width of 18 inches, and a seat recline of 25 degrees (6 inches). Other "Kingfisher Class" cabin features include: * Business class meals in economy (larger portions) * International cabin crew * Full length modacrylic blankets * Full size pillow * KFC in seat chargers * USB connectors 1 for 2 * Mood lighting * Web chat & E-mail The inflight entertainment in Kingfisher Class uses 10.6 inch IFE screens, with AVOD touch screen controls and offers a total of 357 hours of programming and content spread over 36 channels.
