Hello from India, as I’m in the middle of a review trip. After my Turkmenistan Airlines 777 and 737 business class adventure, it’s time to fly Air India’s 777 first class from Delhi (DEL) to Frankfurt (FRA).

Okay, I must admit, my primary motive for flying Air India wasn’t the flight as such (since I’ve heard… not great things), but instead, to check out the new Air India Maharaja Lounge Delhi, which has both a first class and business class section.

While I’ll publish a full review of both sections of the lounge soon, I’d like to share some initial musings on my visit to the first class lounge (hint: I think this will make my updated rankings of the world’s best first class lounges).

In this post:

As an example, I had the Pancha Taara cocktail, meaning “five stars” in Sanskrit, blending ginger, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, with cognac, representing the five traditional tastes. How incredibly fun!

I also loved the tea trolley service, where they’d prepare tea tableside.

A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
