At last i can finally say that there is at least one Indian airline which has the international standards. I actually flew the inaugural flight of Jet Airways from San Francisco to Mumbai via Shangai. I really enjoyed the experience. Though the flight started 2 hours late (Since it was the first flight I assumed this kind of hiccup is normal) but other than that I was pretty impressed. The Flight itself was great - a new Boeing 777-300ER, a spacious plane with 3-3-3 combination for economy and 1-2-1 combination on business class. Each seat has a nice big tv - with great collection of movies especially hindi movies. I caught up with all the latest films. Food was good - finally Indian veggie food was treated with some respect. The staff were well trained and quite professional, it was a good feeling to hear all the announcements in Hindi and felt quite at home.
The overall flight timing is great with just under 20 hrs to reach Mumbai and connection experience at Mumbai for local flight was good too. This is going to be a great choice for Indians traveling over pacific (no more 8-10 hour layover at Singapore).
Jet Airways is an airline to watch out for in the international scene.
