There were 12 business seats and only 4 occupied. When I bid just one day ahead there was zero occupancy.As soon as we entered the aircraft the typical Indian smell.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />  There were two beautiful air hostesses who were very nice. The rattling of the Airbus 320 was so bad that I thought that the undercarriage was about to disintegrate.  Anyway we took off and landed safely and ahead of time in Delhi.The food - the crappiest of any airline food I have ever tasted.  Also only Chivas & Black Label available, I had no intention to drink at that time and with my KrisFlyer membership I always have access to the lounges where enough drinks & food is available before getting into the aircraft.Delhi airport wasn't bad, they had a separate immigration counter for Business & First class passengers and didn't take five minutes to clear.  I noticed that they took the fingerprints of travellers but didn't ask us to do so. Even at the customs Green Gate where they scan all baggages, one customs officer came to my wife and asked in Hindi where we are from - she had no clue but I answered in English.  He just said you please just exit, no queue, no scanning.The driver was at the airport, took us around, stopped for breakfast at a very good place and also for lunch at a very nice place.  We visited the India Gate, Himayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, and a few other places of interest and arrived in Agra -  long drive. Staying in Taj View  Agra, IHCL SeleQtions. They upgraded us to a Suite... (Tourists are very few)Planning to visit the Taj at 5.45 AM tomorrow.</blockquote>
