Hi, planning a trip on the JFK-BOM rte on Delta. Any ideas what to expect on this 15 hour epic ? How's the B777 Y- seat comfort on Delta ? Also, I heard that the B777 has to make fuel stops westbound sometimes . Any experiences ? Also, what about Food and IFE (I guess they have PTV with a limited choice of movies etc). Do they also sell duty-free stuff onboard? Appreciate ur responses.

I aint going. Back to top andrew Member Joined: 24 Apr 2007 Posts: 212 Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 11:12 am    Post subject: Delta? Yuck.
