Great stuff Vivek. BOM seems to be getting a lot busier than the last time i made a trip there in 2003. Where in India are you based anyway?

 

Hi Sanjay,

 

Thanks for your comments! I am based in BOM.

Nice cabins Kingfisher has... :good:

 

Rumours are, they applied slots @ AMS, for their NYC-flights (A330); if those cabins are the same AND they offer good fares in the Dutch market, no doubt, they will be successful !!! :pardon:

 

Do you have any more news and/or can confirm this ?

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 :pardon: ) 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.

Vivek, excellent angle to capture that AI 744, she's so beautiful and clean :drinks:

I used to hate AI's new color, but now that I compared both, the new one looks way better while the old one just classic.
