India's national carrier, Air India operate direct flights from Washington Dulles International Airport to New Delhi and Kolkata,using their Boeing 777-200LRs.
The move will allow Air India to improve their fleet utilization and earn revenue on an aircraft which currently racks up a dozen hours of parking fees at JFK’s Terminal 4 whenever it arrives from India.
Because they are a non-US carrier, Air India will be unable to offer tickets on the domestic legs of JFK-IAD-JFK, but Air India passengers from Washington will be able to transfer to the carrier’s evening Mumbai service at JFK.
The flights will depart from Washington at 12:10 P.M., stop en-route at New York’s JFK Airport, and continue nonstop to Delhi, arriving at 4:45 P.M. the following afternoon. Continuing service is offered to Kolkata. Passengers bound for Mumbai will be able to transfer at JFK to the carrier’s evening, nonnstop JFK-Mumbai flight.
All of the flights from Washington offer a choice of Economy, Executive and First Class service. Economy Class seats feature a 34-inch seat pitch, therapeutic footrest, and 10.6 inch, built-in LCD monitor. Executive Class passengers enjoy flat beds, a 76-inch seat pitch, a privacy partition, and 15.4-inch LCD screen. First Class cabins include flat bed compartments with a built-in massage system, buddy seat, a 23-inch LCD screen, and 80-inch seat pitch.
Other amenities onboard Air India’s Boeing 777s include personal entertainment systems with nearly 400 hours of individual, on-demand audio/visual entertainment, USB ports, laptop connectivity, and satellite telephone service in every cabin. Topping the list of most popular features is the choice of award-winning Indian or Continental meal and free drink service in all classes.
Travel agents earn 4 percent commission (without a cap) on all Air India tickets issued in the U.S.
