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.
