Hello from Germany, as I just flew Air India’s Boeing 777-300ER first class on the 9hr25min flight from Delhi (DEL) to Frankfurt (FRA), as part of my current review trip. Truth be told, my main motivation with flying Air India’s first class was to check out the new Air India First Class Lounge Delhi, which didn’t disappoint.

Several weeks ago, I covered a bizarre incident at Frankfurt Airport (FRA), where a Lufthansa Dreamliner had a gear collapse at its gate, causing some injuries.
