New AA service to India?
 

I heard that AA will begin servcie to India and one of the flights will be 14 hrs. non-stop Chicago to Delhi. Anyone else heard this?

Yes, AA ORD-DEL, staring Nov 15. CO EWR-DEL starting Nov 1. Both airlines doing promotions of as low as $499 + tax.

On the other hand, AC's YYZ-DEL will now stop in Zurich.

Thank you!

rkkwan, any new on Jet Airways? I see they have leased one of the SA 340's they got to Air India, I think they planed to do BOM-BRU-JFK but looks like not for the moment

Just the curiosity cat in me, I guess - - as I do not see traveling to India in the near term - - but what are the routes for ORD-DEL and EWR-DEL. Do both flights travel east to get TO Delhi, and west to depart Delhi? And what do they pass over, generally?

Best wishes,

East both ways, fly over Europe and Russia I think

Yes, basically "Trans-Atlantic" both ways, but via a very northerly route. Only part of Europe they fly over will be Scandinavia and Russia.
