Difficult to say what I liked, cabin crew very miserable, looked like they were sick of the job and it was their 50th flight if the day, long wait between drinks and food was somewhat very budget. We did travel in economy but with such a long flight you'd expect this type of service with Ryanair for a two/three hour flight to benidorm, not 8 hours over the Altantic.. entertainment was limited with films and difficult to hear even with headphones on. I think the pilot spoke once and I couldn't hear him over the noise in the cabin. I'd say to say you get what you pay for but my opinion I've flown with a much better airlines. Sorry...you dud ask :(

British Airways retired its fleet of 747s, which consumed more fuel, and replaced them with A350s and 787s which are about 25-40% more efficient. Virgin Atlantic is increasing its use of sustainable aviation fuels to help reach its net zero carbon emissions target. Similarly, Air India is reducing the amount of single use plastic on its flights, such as cutlery, and replacing it with eco-friendly wooden cutlery. It’s always a good idea to compare the airlines before you choose one so that you can see which one offers the best sustainable options for the route you’re taking.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from London to Delhi?

    There are several ways in which you can make your flight from London to Delhi more eco-friendly. Opt for an economy seat rather than a business seat as this has a far better fuel efficiency rating per person due to there being more people in the economy cabin. The extra services and amenities in Business Class cabins, such as reclining chairs, also use up a lot more energy than those in Economy Class cabins. It’s also better to fly in the day, rather than night, due to the impact of condensation trails. These form during every flight but at night they create a thicker thermal layer and therefore warm the atmosphere more. You should also look to fly direct, rather than indirect, as this means less fuel is required for the journey. Also, due to the fact you’ll only take-off and land once which is when the highest fuel consumption is, you'll use less energy to get to your destination.
