I just got off the non-stop Emirates flight from JFK to Dubai - on the brand new Airbus 380 - en route to India. This post is entering blogsphere courtesy of the Dubai airport wi-fi. I am sitting at a Starbucks... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468909526660 Fri, 1 May 2009 14:56:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468909526660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452240379524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - Had a training to attend in the bay area. As it turned out, the event was in the 'W' hotel in Newark, CA. My 'home' airport is Newark, NJ!  But I quickly found that there were actually no non-stops from Newark, NJ to San Jose (the closest to airport... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452240379524 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:19:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452240379524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_446987669124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - TAP flight 114 – an airbus 330 - from Newark to the city of Porto, which is in the north of Portugal, pushed back right on time at 20.20. We (my wife, 11-month old son and I) were in row 27 – a bulkhead row as requested. The interiors were... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~446987669124 Sun, 5 Oct 2008 20:34:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_446987669124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441425825412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - Business took me to London in late July. After an excellent flight and a complimentary drop to the hotel courtesy Virgin, I strode up to the check-in desk of this hotel. As I walked in from the pavilion road entrance, I noticed that the building had no... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441425825412 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 23:22:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441425825412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437927972484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - I lost my &#147Virgin&#148ity quite accidentally. My travel desk had foisted Air India executive class upon me for my business trip to London. While not thrilled, I was still looking forward to checking out AI&#146s ex-JFK services which are now... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437927972484 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:36:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437927972484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437092191876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - I have not flown Jet on any of their (recent) international routes, but my experience on their (domestic) flights in India has been almost consistently very good. I have never had a problem with on-time performance, ground handling or in-flight services... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437092191876 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 10:14:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437092191876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437039238788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - I tend to rent fairly frequently from the off airport location of Hertz in Jersey City (Harborside). While the experience is not inadequate, I think it is reasonable to expect more for the premium rates they charge and given that I am a Hertz #1 Club... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437039238788 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 22:28:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437039238788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433837805188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - Business took me to Singapore twice in the recent past. The cheapest business class my travel desk could find was on EVA Air – an airline I had never heard of at that point. I was pushing them to book on Virgin Atlantic, but that was supposedly above the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433837805188 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:39:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433837805188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432772451972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - Traveling from India to the US with an infant is, well, a challenge. With our 6 month old (who spills out of the standard bassinets already), we decided to travel in premium class to give ourselves some extra comfort. We thought of premium economy on BA... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432772451972 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 03:09:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432772451972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426792095364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - I arrived at Bangalore Intl airport at 8.45 pm for my first eastbound international flight (and first flight with SQ) from India. This is, of course, the old BLR airport. I was hoping to write a review of the new airport, but that isn’t opening until... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426792095364 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:00:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426792095364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425171521156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bharat_rao - While the aviation world's attention is largely focused on the A-380 and the dreamliner, I think the quiet revolution of the 15 hour Asia to America non stops spawned by the 777-200 ER or its A340 equivalent has not got its due. So there I was at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425171521156 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 00:04:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425171521156?linkin_id=8003929
