Hello from Mumbai folks. I’m back after a long 15 days on the road in Europe and then in South East Asia. Here is a roundup of all the stuff that happened over the past few days. Hope you enjoy reading and catching up.
Mumbai Airport will witness a runway closure for 4-5 hours many days in the coming weeks. So if you are scheduled to arrive or depart from Mumbai Airport, do check your tickets again, because things might have changed!
This could be interesting. The much expected Joint Venture between KLM/Air France, Delta and Jet Airways may be happening. This could mean connectivity from tonnes of places in the USA and Europe to India, and the other way around as well! Here is what we know so far…
JetPrivilege is offering a new 30% bonus on transferring other points to JPMiles from banks and hotel partners. The promotion is valid till October 20, 2016. So if you are a few JPMiles short, maybe now is a good time to transfer in some points.
Etihad Guest is running a promotion through the end of October 2016, where you get 20% bonus points on converting your points from other transfer partners into EY miles. Should you do it? Find out here.

I recently flew the new Jet Airways service between India and the Netherlands, which later continues to North America as well, in Business Class. Here is the trip report of the flight. I had a good one for sure!
There is a new GVK Lounge for International travellers out of Mumbai Airport. We had a chance to visit it earlier this week, and here is a review of the new lounge from our own experience. If you fly often out of Mumbai, this is definitely going to impact you.
Take that as a hint, Jet Airways is now actively looking (perhaps!) for wifi implementation on their planes, and it could be a big differentiation for them if other carriers don’t follow through on their lead. Here is why I say they have taken the lead on wifi implementation
