I checked-in using the business class line by showing Maharaja Club. Less rush today. First time taking the overnight direct flight. I have always taken the afternoon one till now

Passport control was empty this time - lovely! Took 5 mins. And security was also quick just 5-10mins. So glad 😌

Incoming plane from Delhi is 1.5hrs delayed due to new routing.

So I got free with about 3 hours to flight time

Overnight flight. Plane is registered VT-ANH, a 14 year old B787-8 Dreamliner. I haven’t flown on this tail before
