I flew to New York from London last week and have to say that I really enjoyed our outgoing flight after reading BAD reviews almost everywhere I looked! Check-in time was exactly the same as anywhere else I have flown, queues were a bit longer getting on to the plane as it is a connecting flight and they have to get everyone off and tidy very quickly.
The food was great, you have a choice of a veg Indian or meat Indian meal (more options are available if you pre-book -i would do this) which we thought tasted as good, if not better than a great curry house. My friend had opted for the 'western' meal, which although boring, still disappeared as fast as our delicious curry! With Kingfisher beer (or Carlsberg) to finish off, we were very happy indeed. The service was good, the crew come round with 'Bombay mix' style snacks, which we all really like with our drinks.. We were in a group of 4 and quite excited so I have to say the normal movie experience etc was not on our list of priorities..but this is pretty poor if you are a person that like to be entertained while flying.. I would take a book if I were you.
We just sat back, chatted and enjoyed a few beers with our food and the time flew by so to speak!
On the way back it was a little more uncomfortable as the headrests do not come down, but to be honest it was worth the money we paid and we were tired as we were flying though the night.
I would definatly use them again- it makes New York a really good value short trip, great! Our flight cost £200 including all taxes etc.
