[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are Indian immigrants so I grew up flying to India every summer to visit family, still do occasionally as an adult. This will depend in part on your travel style, but from the East Coast I strongly prefer flying a European airline with a layover. It breaks the trip up into two roughly equal segments of 7/8 hours. The break is nice to stretch your legs, walk around, and maybe have a meal or a snack. So worth the extra travel time it adds on.

[b]I really dislike being in a plane for 12+ hours, even if it’s a more direct route. So I tend to skip the ME airlines and the direct flights that are 14-15 hours. [/b]

I live in NYC and have Finnair as an option. It’s my favorite because it breaks the journey up into literally two equal segments (8 hours each) and Helsinki airport is the best one I’ve been to. It’s peaceful and not too crowded, has good food, and isn’t too big. From DC I would probably fly BA or AF.[/quote]

My travel twin! We went through Dubai or Qatar en route to India. It was too long even in biz class.
For a trip further east I would go to Constantinople and spend a few days if I have the luxury of time and can find good flights/deals.
I'm intrigued by the folks saying that going west is easier...but there's nothing I want to see out west. Absolutely nothing. I'd rather break up my trip going east. There's so much to see. Helsinki sounds great too![/quote]
