Do you want to fly on an A330 within India?

There are some aviation geeks in India (and indeed, elsewhere in the world) who try and fly as many different aircraft as they can. Co-contributor to this blog, Vinay, is one of them. However, an A330 is something else! And if you haven't flown one, or want to fly one domestically, here's a limited-period option. Jet Airways will be using A330s on some of their domestic sectors this holiday season, between 23 December 2014 and 29 January 2015.

The flights upgraded to Airbus A330 are as follows:

Flight Number	Origin	Destination	Departure	Arrival	Frequency
9W827	Delhi	Bengaluru	0805 hrs	1035 hrs	Daily
9W828	Bengaluru	Delhi	1155 hrs	1440 hrs	1,3,4,5,6,7
9W828	Bengaluru	Delhi	1135 hrs	1440 hrs	2
9W835	Delhi	Chennai	1540 hrs	1830 hrs	Daily
9W836	Chennai	Delhi	1930 hrs	2220 hrs	Daily

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 refer to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday respectively.

I'd like to take Jet Airways' word that this is to meet the demand during the holiday season, though I suppose it is also a way to keep those aircraft occupied and running, in order to be more profitable operationally. However, I can't see any specific international routes they've tinkered with. They may also be diverting the existing B738 aircraft operating these routes, to other sectors to meet demand. Also, It isn't clear if it is the A330-300 or A330-200 that they'll be using. My guess is the A330-300, which by the way doesn't come with herringbone seats. 

So if you want to fly one of these birds, here's a chance. Will you?
