Yes, indeed. I flew non-stop from Newark, NJ to Bombay last week. And I flew back a different route, this time flying for 13+ hours from Dubai to New York. When I booked those flights, I did not know what to expect. My wife was worried about how my son would handle the 14 hour trip to Bombay. But I figured after these two flights that this is the best way to travel betwen India and the US. I guess the layovers in Europe really used to interrupt the passengers in the middle of their sleep, in both diections. The long flights allow people to sleep through their normal cycles, and wake up a couple of hours before landing. My son proved that theory of mine, by being a happy camper throughout the flight. I am not much of a sleeper, especially in flights. However, I found myself totally fresh when I reached the destination on both occasions.
Oh, I almost forgot. The aircrafts used for these long flights were very new. And they had really nice entertainment options, including an on-demand library of over a hundred movies.
Travel between US and India has gotten so better that I think the world has shrunk a litte more!
