A recent study by the University of Toronto points out a steady increase in the number of inflight medical emergencies. More and more senior citizens, pregnant women, infants, travelers with chronic ailments and terminally ill passengers are taking to the skies. Most of the time, their exposure to physiologic stressors during long-haul flights causes medical emergencies on board. Another study carried by the New England Journal of Medicine states, “One medical emergency occurs in every 604 flights.” Nausea or vomiting, light headedness, respiratory problems, cardiac symptoms and seizures are some of the most common causes of inflight medical emergency.

In a landmark move to ensure continual inflight medical care for travelers with pre-existing health issues, Etihad Airways has rolled out two specialized services. One is a pre-boarding visit and checkup by an Etihad aviation doctor and the other is an inflight nurse.

It is a representational image.

Etihad Airways’ new inflight guest medical services include an airline-certified doctor’s visit to the passengers who are required to get medical clearance to board flights. The passengers with pre-existing medical issues can request an evaluation of their health conditions by an Etihad aviation doctor before the scheduled departure of their flights. The Etihad aviation doctor can conduct a health checkup in the presence of a passenger’s attending physician. The passenger will be issued ‘fit to fly’ status within 24 hours of the checkup if he is found medically stable.

The introduction of a dedicated inflight nurse is the most commendable of Etihad Airways’ new inflight guest medical services. An inflight nurse will accompany and attend the passengers with pre-existing medical conditions throughout Etihad Airways flights. The inflight nurse will provide requisite support during medical emergencies on plane. It will surely add to the passenger-friendly value of Etihad Airways’ inflight services including Flying Nanny for kids on board.

Diversion of flights, delayed take off and emergency landing in case of medical emergencies on planes incur losses worth millions of dollars to commercial airlines. Etihad Airways’ dedicated inflight medical services will not only help the airline avert unnecessary losses but also ensure a smooth flight for the passengers who require consistent medical assistance. It will surely benefit unaccompanied senior citizens on Etihad Airways flights from USA to India and other destinations.

“Etihad Airways’ inflight medical services seem to put other airlines behind in the race for a larger pie of the market. A fair percentage of our customers seeks to book  even last-minute flights on Etihad Airways because of Etihad’s cheap air tickets to India and good services on board,” says the public relations officer of Indian Eagle, a leading air-ticketing firm in the US.

The national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airways is the first commercial carrier in the Middle East to have launched the one-stop-shop medical services which will be provided by the Etihad medical team. The members of the Etihad medical team are qualified and trained in handling inflight medical emergencies and administering air transport medicines.

Both non-Indian and Indian airlines are experimenting with inflight menus to offer their customers an exclusive dining experience on board. While other airlines are trying exotic means and partnering with renowned chefs, Air India has taken inspirations from Indian heritage and culture. The national carrier of India has started serving typical Indian food and chai (tea) in a traditional way on its domestic flights in the country.

On February 1, Air India introduced Indian thali meals and kulhad masala chai (masala tea in clay pots) on Delhi-Mumbai-Delhi flights. Passengers have been enjoying Indian thalis at lunch and dinner on this route. This traditional inflight food service will be extended on to other flights across Indian cities.

Kulhad chai (tea in earthen pots) is not unknown to Indians. It has been unique to train travel in India for decades. Sipping tea from clay pots is a typical Indian experience, which is now available on Air India flights in India. Unlike regular tea, masala chai is made using some special ingredients. Having it in kulhad is an altogether different experience.

The new Indian thali on Air India flights between Delhi and Mumbai has seven items including rice, dal, roti, bread, salad, yoghurt, vegetables and curry (paneer or chicken). All dishes on a thali are heated separately and plated unlike regular inflight meals. Air India has circulated instructions on how to plate the thali and how to prepare masala chai to its cabin crew.

For the first and business class travelers on select international USA to India flights, Air India offers pre-order meal service which lets premium flyers order their favorite dishes from the inflight menus to the chef.

We have received the query “Does British Airways have Wi-Fi?” many times. Now we do have the answer ‘Yes’. British Airways to offer high-speed Wi-Fi in flight is certainly good news for you. The national carrier of the United Kingdom has announced its plan to offer inflight Wi-Fi connectivity on long-haul and short-haul routes in its global network. British Airways’ passengers will soon be connected to the world while flying at a height of 38,000 feet.

british airways, inflight wifi, british airways news, IndianEagle travel

The airline is currently upgrading 100 aircrafts with high-end Wi-Fi systems for long-haul routes to provide international travelers with smooth Internet connection on board. Inflight Wi-Fi service is a need of flyers these days, irrespective of their travel classes and routes. This upcoming facility will also be available on British Airways’ short-haul routes. Wi-Fi systems are being installed in 300 aircrafts for short-haul flights.

British Airways’ Wi-Fi service is not absolutely new. British Airways’ B747-400 aircraft for long-haul flights was equipped with Panasonic Global Communication Suite for only 12 months from 2014 to 2015. Named “High Life Connect”, it enabled travelers to access Internet on their personal devices during Boeing 747-400 flights.  British Airways deployed the Wi-Fi fitted aircraft to evaluate performance of the Panasonic Global Communication technology and assess the usage of Internet on different routes. The airline currently offers this facility only on flights between London Heathrow and New York.

The plan to equip 90% of British Airways’ fleet for long-haul flights with Wi-Fi systems will be executed by the beginning of 2019. The airline is looking to operate the first short-haul flight with AtG in 2017.  The plan to launch Europe’s fist inflight 4G broadband service on short-haul aircrafts in collaboration with Britain’s satellite company, Immarsat, is underway.

“We think Wi-Fi technology has advanced a lot and the time to implement it for our passengers on board across the global network is ripe. It will facilitate their requirement to stay connected and be at work in the sky,” says a senior professional of British Airways.

The upcoming inflight Wi-Fi service is surely a new reason to fly by British Airways.

Indian Eagle issues cheapest tickets for British Airways flights to India from from New York, Austin, Houston, San Francisco, Chicago, Newark, Los Angeles and Atlanta. The best flight is guaranteed at the lowest fare.

Air Canada scheduled launch of its new nonstop flights from Toronto to New Delhi on November 1, 2015. The upcoming Toronto to New Delhi service will recover Air Canada’s connection with India, which was discontinued in 2005 due to lack of profitability. On seeing a growing market of travel between Canada and India, the airline is looking to cash in on the new route.

Air Canada has chosen to deploy the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for operating flights from Toronto to New Delhi. It would be the first Dreamliner from North America to fly to India. Recently British Airways announced to operate Dreamliner from London Heathrow to India. According to aviation experts, Boeing Dreamliner has influenced the economics of flying to India.

Cabin Features of Air Canada’s B787 Dreamliner

Air Canada’s B787-9 is an efficient, modern aircraft with three travel cabins: Business, Premium Economy and Economy. The Dreamliner has a total of 298 seats including 30 Business Class seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 247 seats in the Economy Class. The seats are cozy and spacious depending on their travel classes. The Business Class seats are 21-in wide, while 19.5-in is the width of the seats in the Premium Economy cabin. The 17.3-in Economy seats are spacious enough to sit comfortably.

The Business Class seats on Air Canada’s flights to New Delhi can be reclined to a level of 180 degree like full-flat beds. The Premium Economy passengers can recline their seats by 7 inches. The Economy travelers can lean back by reclining their seats up to 5 inches. All seats on the B787-9 Dreamliner are sumptuously cushioned and come with adjustable headrests to make passengers sit with ease.

All three cabins of Air Canada’s B787 Dreamliner are equipped with in-seat power plugs and other features including personal inflight entertainment systems. Passengers can choose to watch their favorite programs from the preloaded entertainment content on the HD screens while flying from Toronto to New Delhi. The cabins are equipped with advanced filtration systems to keep the air clean and healthy inside.

What more? Air Canada is supposed to offer Wi-Fi connectivity in all travel cabins so that today’s tech-savvy passengers can check their emails, social media updates, news feeds, etc. to stay connected with the outer world during the journey.

Air Canada’s Baggage Policy for Toronto to Delhi Flights

Air Canada’s baggage allowance for flights to New Delhi from Toronto seems to be the same as that of other American airlines for flights to India. Air Canada’s Business Class travelers can carry two pieces of check-in baggage with a maximum weight of 32 kg each from Toronto to Delhi. Two pieces of check-in baggage with 23 kg each will be permitted to each adult traveler in the Economy cabin. Besides, the Economy passengers can carry one cabin bag of 8 kg on flights to Delhi.

Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America with a huge concentration of Indian Americans. Air India stopped flying from Toronto in 2012 for financial crunches. Evidently, the Toronto to Delhi route between Canada and India remains untapped. Air Canada is going to hit the route at the right time and with the right aircraft. – Indian Eagle

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class challenges the norms of the aviation industry and defies the usual conception that economy flights have little to do with comfort and sophistication. To say in Etihad’s words, the Economy Class is “simply smarter.” Let’s justify it.

Economy Class seats on Etihad Airways’ long-haul flights let you sit back and relax on adjustable headrests. The cradle seats are wide and accessorized with comfy pillows. The reclining feature of the seats facilitates the natural posture that your back rests in. Even very small things from blankets to amenity kits are meticulously taken care of to offer high-level inflight comfort that the airline promises.

On longer Economic flights by Etihad Airways, passengers are provided full-sized fleece blankets and unique pillows which can be converted into neck pillows. Passengers are also given blanket bags which can double up in size to let them store their personal belongings. Adding oodles of warm hospitality to the Economy Class experience is provision of amenity kits containing a pair of socks, toothbrush, a pair of earplugs, a cotton drawstring bag, and a reversible “Do not disturb/Wake me for meals” eye mask.

Onboard hospitality is extended to Etihad Airways’ Economy Class food served in a more personal style. Passengers are served hot meals of their choice from three main courses. Onboard café serving light snacks, coffee, tea and hot chocolates is an add-on to long-haul travel experience in the Economy cabin of the airline’s select aircraft. Etihad is one of the few airlines that treat Economy passengers as premium customers by offering complimentary bar service to them on select long-haul routes.

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class food menu is designed by the airline’s award-winning chefs from world-class restaurants. They are extensively trained to blend different flavors to create fulfilling meals in keeping with the airline’s brand hospitality. – Indian Eagle

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class offers signature inflight entertainment that consists of 750 hours of on-demand content on long-haul international flights. The Economy seats are equipped with 10.6-inch touch-screen TV monitors which passengers can tune to their personal entertainment needs. 11-inch touch-screen TV monitors are installed on Economy Smart seats. Etihad’s inflight entertainment programs include over 100 movies, 300 popular TV shows and 60 interactive games.

The inflight entertainment system on Economy flights comprises 7 live news and sports channels, and 16 radio channels. Passengers are provided noise-canceling headsets to enjoy their preferred programs contentedly. On Etihad’s Economy flights, inflight entertainment programs include both timeless classics and latest blockbusters from Hollywood, Bollywood, European, Arabic and Asian cinemas.

Travelers with kids can get access to Etihad’s special Kids Club movies and cool cartoons. Etihad’s inflight entertainment systems integrate a parental lock feature that lets travelers block unsuitable content to their kids. – Indian Eagle

Etihad Airways’ Flying Nanny is one of the best inflight services, which no other airline has yet come up with. Introduced by the end of 2013 and unique to Etihad’s onboard hospitality, Flying Nannies help travelers with children on long-haul flights so that travelers can have some “me time” with books or movies of their choice or the inflight magazine.

One of our customers had a pleasant experience of Etihad’s Flying Nanny service while flying from Chicago to Delhi with the cheapest economy flight ticket from us in June 2015. She traveled with two kids including one 2-year old infant. The Flying Nanny was a great support to her. – Indian Eagle

To conclude, Etihad Airways’ Economy Class is synonymous with comfort that ensues from the airline’s best inflight services on Economy flights, surpassing passengers’ expectations and giving them a memorable travel experience at the lowest airfare from Indian Eagle.

International airlines are trying every possible means to woo their customers on board. An exclusive selection of wine and champagne is the latest add-on to their inflight services for fliers in the First Class and the Business Class. With wine or champagne being a new luxury of flying in premium classes, British Airways, Emirates Airlines and Qantas Airways have already come up with innovative plans to quench the thirst of their premium customers with world-class alcoholic beverages.

However, Lufthansa Airlines is a few steps ahead of other international airlines including the three above. With the latest news of its inflight meals service making rounds in the world of aviation, Lufthansa seems to have proven a dark horse in the race. The German airline has taken an initiative to offer ‘restaurant service’ in the Business Travel Class. Evidently, Lufthansa has a bigger fish to fry than other airlines.

You did not surely get an impression that Lufthansa is to convert the Business Travel Cabin into an inflight restaurant. What the airline is all set to do is revamp the way it serves meals to Business Class passengers during long-haul flights. Lufthansa’s inflight menu for Business Class flights on long-haul routes is given a makeover to give passengers an overwhelming feel of restaurant-like service.

According to the plan, Lufthansa’s flight attendants will adapt their ways of service towards catering to the Business Class fliers’ needs on board with more attention and efficiency as it is in world-class restaurants. The inflight meals service enhancement that Lufthansa refers to as ‘restaurant service’ is focused on giving welcome to passengers by their names, taking individual orders for the meals of their choice, setting tables with ceramic crockery and  serving them directly from the galley. Also, flight trolleys and trays will be replaced with service plates.

Lufthansa rolled out the restaurant-like meal service on A380 flights to New York in June and to Miami in July this year. It will soon be launched on Lufthansa’s A380 flights to Delhi, Houston, Miami, New York, Beijing, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seoul, Singapore, Shanghai and Johannesburg. Business Class travelers on B747-400, B747-8 and A340 flights from Frankfurt and Munich to Asia and the Middle East will be treated to the same restaurant-like inflight dining experience from October 2015.

Around 4,500 flight attendants have been meticulously trained to deliver Lufthansa’s inflight meal services with restaurant-like attributes. According to aviation critics, it is Lufthansa’s “another important step towards becoming the first five-star airline in the Western hemisphere.”

The new restaurant service is another customer-friendly medium of inflight entertainment on Lufthansa flights. – Indian Eagle

With the beginning of July, Qantas Airways’ inflight entertainment system started screening 120 hours of HBO programs including comedy shows and documentaries, on flights across the airline’s global network. Every month the entertainment schedule will be updated with 20 hours of the latest shows and movies from HBO.

Qantas’ inflight entertainment system has incorporated an HBO channel and three new Foxtel channels. The three Foxtel channels are Foxtel Entertainment, National Geographic and Lifestyle. These latest additions will be updated with fresh content every month, resulting in a volume of 160 hours of exclusive entertainment on board.

Qantas Airways strives to offer the best entertainment in the sky, according to Jo Boundy, Qantas’ Head of Digital Entertainment. He said eloquently, “Many passengers wish to make the most of their flights with Qantas Airways by watching their favorite or globally popular HBO shows on board. Only fresh content of entertainment from an exclusive selection of different programs can cater to different tastes.”

Quality and exclusivity of inflight entertainment are among the parameters of customer satisfaction for international airlines. For instance, Qatar Airways welcome the year 2015 by adding ten global blockbusters to its inflight entertainment schedule for both children and adults. Qatar Airways’ inflight entertainment also incorporated the episodes of “New Girl”, a most popular US television series. – Indian Eagle

Qantas Airways keeps improving its inflight services related to seating, food and entertainment every year. By the end of 2014, the Australian airline beefed up its inflight menu for Economy flights across its international network.

The privacy of passengers on Emirates First Class flights will double with the launch of a brand new first class cabin, later this year. “Master the Art of Me Time” is the thought-provoking tagline for the upcoming first class cabin on Emirates’ Airbus A380s and Boeing B777s, referring to an enhanced sense of privacy. The success of premium suites on the largest aircraft in Emirates Airlines’ fleet has influenced the plan to launch more private first class cabins for premium passengers.

According to Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Emirates Airlines’ divisional Senior Vice President, the upcoming cabin on Emirates First Class flights is like an exclusively designed private railway cabin. Passengers can fly Emirates in the new cabins at commercially reasonable prices. Though much about the interior design has not been revealed, the cabins are expected to be bedroom-style suites as per the earlier mention by Emirates’ President Sir Tim Clark.

The emphasis on inflight privacy is a result of the growing demand for first class flights with enhanced private ambience that helps passengers to be at work and facilitates uncompromised relaxation. With other international airlines reducing the number of first class seats due to the waning market for the most expensive seats, Emirates is all set to cash in on this segment by means of inflight privacy enhancement at reasonable prices.

Our new bedroom-style suites will be designed like fully enclosed rooms to redefine inflight privacy. The upcoming cabins on Emirates first class flights will come with all onboard services and amenities that are available in private bedrooms of luxury resorts or hotels. – Sir Tim Clark.

Emirates’ first class travel seems to have no tough competition from the rival airlines. American Airlines is cutting down the number of luxury seats on first class flights. Lufthansa is upgrading the business class as the first class capacity is reduced by 30%. Qatar Airways’ first class seats will be available only on A380s.

Emirates’ upcoming first class travel cabin may prove to be a better option than Etihad Airways’ The Residence if the former comes cheaper than the latter without any compromise on service quality and inflight luxury. The Residence consists of three rooms, with a dedicated butler, which debuted in December 2014. – Indian Eagle.

The current Emirates first class suite is equipped with a sliding door that functions as a curtain between the aisle and the entrance. The A380 premium seats on Emirates first class flights come with a few benefits including onboard shower. How the new cabins claiming to be more private will be different from the existing first class suites and how passengers will be served in the cabins is only to be speculated now.

The routes Emirates A380s and B777s with the upcoming more private first class cabins will fly will be revealed later. Let’s see how cheap the first class tickets on Emirates’ flights will be.
