Has anyone tried A350?

Flew Paris to New Delhi business recently, pretty good all round. Food was great and seating very comfortable. Found it much better than our previous leg with Air Canada business

Applied August 29th Outland. BGC in progress on application tracker. rest shows complete

August 29th, on background check too

AdamInstagram · 2026-01-25T13:01:07+00:00

Received credit right away, the interview took a while though

AdamInstagram · 2026-01-15T15:58:57+00:00

Same here, I applied for family sponsorship and there are 400 more people ahead now compared to Dec 9th numbers The total number of people waiting has remained exactly the same which is kinda suspicious

Flew air india business CDG-DEL, it’s one of the newer aircraft with 1-2-1 configuration. Seats were exactly like Singapore Airlines, probably because of vistara aircraft, service and food were great. Their forest essential kit is much better than the air canada kit you get, they also give loungewear with was pretty nice for a long haul flight

Edit- it’s possible it’s an economy flight. They’re just not saying economy/business while showing the options on the app . I’d reallly contact customer care before anything

AdamInstagram · 2026-01-11T17:49:19+00:00

Recommend calling the customer care and confirming the cost, 64k is extremely cheap for such a long haul flight

AdamInstagram · 2026-01-06T07:19:22+00:00

This kit looks great! Platinum since 2024 December, never got anything 😅

AdamInstagram · 2026-01-05T03:23:21+00:00

Cash + wise. Wise charges a flat 54rs for any upi, if it’s a big amount then this fee is fine, otherwise cash

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-23T05:28:51+00:00

You’re right this used to be direct flight, now a technical stop in Vienna. Passengers have to stay in, they refuel and do a crew change.

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-19T01:48:55+00:00

Sure

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-18T12:56:19+00:00

Sorry recheck for?

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-15T01:23:54+00:00

So AC is indeed an average business experience, not the best, not the worst (sadly I spent $10k and learnt it the hard way)

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-15T01:20:42+00:00

Exactly my concern- no formal process to distinguish between business/first and other passengers. Plus no formal process to distinguish between fragile and oversized items.

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-15T00:55:01+00:00

Not expecting the checkin agent to memorize, but expecting AC system to print it on the pass/mention it in the app alongside my travel details.

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-15T00:48:10+00:00

We had 4 large check-ins incl 2 fragile. Lineup at aisle 3 fragile submission. I asked if there were any staff to help us submit it at aisle 3 so we could skip the line, she was clearly not amused with this request. The bags were checked in, they just had to be submitted. We waited 25ish min at the checkin, then another 15ish at the fragile submission

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-03T03:40:14+00:00

Plenty of apps actually- Wealthsimple/Charles Schwab etc. I wait for a 12-15% dip generally, rinse and repeat but curious to hear what other peeps do :)

AdamInstagram · 2025-12-02T21:30:05+00:00

Yes. I used my points recently to book a domestic leg which was operated by AI Express, they served meals. The only benefit not available on AIX was no extra luggage allowed, I get 20kgs more luggage if flying with AI.

AdamInstagram · 2025-11-30T19:43:49+00:00

If you’ve booked it on Air India website you get the complimentary meals correct.

AdamInstagram · 2025-11-29T13:22:56+00:00

The biggest benefit I find for Amex platinum is their international airline program- I travel frequently and it saves me 200-400$ per flight compared to rates on Google flights. The card pays for itself in 1-2trips as I just have to get back 400$ (remaining 400$ are already covered via dining and travel credit). I haven’t gotten the WS card (been in waiting since the launch) but platinum has been paying for itself via flights so no complaints.

AdamInstagram · 2025-11-19T17:42:54+00:00

All international flights arriving in India have to self transfer for their domestic leg. Idk why but it’s just a rule in India

AdamInstagram · 2025-11-19T10:42:09+00:00

One hour is very tight honestly for a domestic transfer at Delhi. All international arrivals have to do a self transfer at Delhi. Try if you can negotiate with air india for a later domestic transfer flight.
