On the dgca website, the IC fleet shows a 124 seat A320 (VT-EYK/EYL)! Mistake or is there a super lxorious A320 lfying around? I hear there 2 A320's flying around with Live TV and personal massagers in J-Class. Are these 2 those birds? _________________ http://www.cougar-rides.com <B>Live to Ride - Ride to Live</B> -- Back to top the_380 Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2329 Location: Mumbai, India Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 12:43 pm    Post subject: Re: 124 seat A320 in IC?

There are added J class seats with entertainment features. Im guessing a few more of these birds are to come. Probably all of the IC's A320 order will be like this _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

The seats are also electrically controlled for positioning unlike the mechanical buttons on the usual seats. aM _________________ M y - J e t P h o t o s Back to top the_380 Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2329 Location: Mumbai, India Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:59 pm    Post subject: crew320 wrote: Yes, SCD or SCE business class.

Airlines like IT can advertise with one A321 also but IC cannot advertise with such features also ... thats the difference ... privatise them then we'll see which bloody airline wins _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

Probably all of the IC's A320 order will be like this VT-EYK has 146 seats in all (20/126). Travelled today on this bird and its absolutely the same as any of the other IC 320s... Think the DGCA website needs a correction... aM _________________ M y - J e t P h o t o s Back to top COUGAR Member Joined: 01 Jan 2007 Posts: 986 Location: Bangalore Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 3:22 pm    Post subject: Yeah I just got off VT-EYK and it had 20_126 configuration though with much better seats in J: ones with "ear-flaps" etc and audio controls in Y seats. So it isnt EYK that is the in the test low-density config. But there are 2 A320's flying in that config: also heard that these have 28 seats. I suspect these 2 ar deployed on DEL-SIN and DEL-BKK-SIN routes. crew320 can u confirm? _________________ http://www.cougar-rides.com <B>Live to Ride - Ride to Live</B> -- Back to top crew320 Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 301 Location: New Delhi Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:43 pm    Post subject: COUGAR wrote: But there are 2 A320's flying in that config: also heard that these have 28 seats.

The First row of J class has only 2 seats on the port side followed by 5 rows of 2+2 seats. Y has 17 rows of 3+3 seats in each row. The J class seats have four mechanical controls for seat adjustments: Recline, Legrest extension, Seat cushion length and Lumber. All J class seats have stowed video monitors. IFE system is installed on this aircraft with overhead drop down monitors at 13 locations in the cabin. aM _________________ M y - J e t P h o t o s Back to top COUGAR Member Joined: 01 Jan 2007 Posts: 986 Location: Bangalore Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 6:19 pm    Post subject: Great info crew320!
