Vistara Trip Report flying from Delhi to Paris onboard one of the Vistara Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a beautiful winter day.
A comfortable flight from New Delhi to Paris onboard the Vistara Boeing 787-9. The Vistara Boeing 787 is quite comfortable by itself, but today we managed to have the middle seat empty, so that made it even better.
We took off from Delhi towards the west and continued in a southwesterly direction for almost 2 hours. We turned then to the right, already over Iran, and started to cross this country from southeast to northwest. We left Tehran on our right and then made a left turn towards Turkey. We flew all over the north of Turkey, from east to west, and finally entered the Black Sea, flying towards Bucharest.
We entered Bulgaria to the north of Varna and flew north of Bucharest, Timisoara, Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna. We entered the Czech Republic and flew towards Germany... and, finally, we reached Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, where we landed on runway 08L.
Let's talk about the onboard service: a few days before this flight I did a Paris to Mumbai with Air France. The service offered by Vistara was really ahead of the Air France one. Actually, I would say this brand-new airline is ahead of basically every European long-haul economy class in 2023. While the European airlines don't care about what they offer to eat on an 8h+ flight, these Middle Eastern and Asiatic airlines know that it's really important if you want the passengers to want to repeat with you in the future.
There were 2 services on this flight: 2 main services (lunch and dinner). For lunch, they offered a vegetarian option or chicken with Indian style. Of course, I went for the chicken. It was really spicy, but it's what you expect on an Indian airline, don't you? The meal came with a chick pie salad, bread & butter, and a delicious chocolate brownie and vanilla cake.
The dinner came around 2 hours before landing in Paris. This time was something that I don't know the name of, but it was obvious that it was something typical from India. I don't know how to describe them... All I can say is that I ate it like Mexican Tacos... and it tasted amazing. Better than great. Delicious.
By the way, the crew made an attempt to dim all the windows just after lunch. That's something the cabin crew can do from their panel but something that the majority of airlines already told them not to do. Passengers that are seated on the window seats are there because they want to see. Blocking the windows just because that way it will be a better rest period for the cabin crew is really egoist. And this is the reason why you don't see almost any Boeing 787 Trip Reports on the channel. I actively try to avoid flying on the B787 for this reason. I'm not going to accept that my window is dimmed when I paid for that seat.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Vistara? Which route? How was the experience? Which model did you fly? Have you ever been in Delhi? Maybe in Paris? Have you ever flown on the Boeing 787? What do you think about the Vistara product? Does it surprise you that in a few years they became the 2nd airline by passengers in India?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!
