Le Méridien, New Delhi, India
LOCATION: Guests at this hotel can practically count the president and prime minister as neighbours; the hotel is the top point of a triangle, whose other angles would include the official residence of the President of India and the war memorial India Gate, with the grandiose Parliament building thrown into the mix for good measure.

Jet Airways, Première Class Cabin
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Passengers on Jet Airways’ business class service face a tricky dilemma: do they choose from the rather impressive selection of in-flight entertainment shown on a larger-than-average touchscreen; get on with work using laptop sockets and other office-in-the-air technology; or get some shut-eye on the lovely lie-flat beds under a thick and toasty blanket? I opted for a bit of the first and a lot of the last, and when we touched down at Heathrow after the nine-and-a-half-hour flight from New Delhi I was a bit disappointed to disembark – given the chance, I would happily have stayed on-board a bit longer.
