Hey guys this started today!
I also read that we will get a second 777-200LR come January when Air India starts a nonstop DEL-JFK route. Hopefully the arrival time will be at a more reasonable hour!

There was a full page ad in the New York Times today advertising the new AI flight. It seems to be pretty standard now to make one page spreads for new services like this.

If the FC and business class cabin service is really good (i.e. much improved over the AI of old), expect this to bleed off some high margin traffic from EK and other 'premium' carriers that have done well with one-stop business travel to India.

I've been waiting a LONG time to finally get to see the AI 772LR! I remember first seeing pics of it and I fell in love immediately.
However, I forgot about the new colors. I was just driving down the ramp today and I saw a girthy fuselage and two GE90s coming towards me, so I pulled off to the side and *GASP*

Thanks, guys. It was very exciting for me. Now I need old colors! They around still on the 777?

The key word is "see"; a more difficult task would be to photograph them.
