So I am trying to post this for the 4th time Mad - and it always flags me as spam Evil or Very Mad - but here is a link to my TR on 9W on a recent PVG-SFO trip.

Hi 77W_Fan and welcome to AI.net! If you'd like to, it would be great if you could introduce yourself on the member introductions thread.

Great TR BTW - and not surprising to see the low loads. Until 9W gets it's mega-sized-ego out of the way, and integrates into a proper alliance, it's desi Gold/Plat FFPs are not helping fill the front F/J cabins on these intl routes.

Nice crisp report, sad to note 9W does not fly this sector any more, but hopefully one day they might be back.

- Totally agreed. I did a quick back of the envelope calculation- considering that there are an average of 170-200 J/F pax on all LH flights that 9W operates daily out of India (ex. BOM, DEL, MAA, ATQ and now BLR), how many do you think are being filled by pax that belong to an alliance and would love to see EQMs on their balance sheet? I would safely wager that its more than 50%- a figure that will keep rising until 9W pulls its pants up. Not everyone can be an EK or EY and tread off on their own!

I hope they have enough holiday sales to contemplate resurrecting this route- or even keeping it alive (3X a week?), though this stems more from a desire for 9W than anything else!

A nice experience for sure- I should have done it in the daytime so that I could get a better view of the city Twisted Evil
