Kingfisher to join OW.

[drron]

Anybody know what booking class Kingfisher First falls into? They market it as a business plus product and I would like to think that the earn and burn would be the same as J.

I would be disapointed if they called this First like AA domestic First.

Anyway, only time will tell but great to have a new member that serves the sub-continent.

Now I cant understand why people would be disappointed with AA calling their premium domestic cabin First.It means I get more AA miles and mrsdrron more QFF SCs.I wish QF would call their domestic premium cabin First for the same reason.

Well said.
Beware of booking QF flights to/from the US though, as the QF codeshares operated by AA all book into Business despite AA selling the same cabins as First. So make sure the AA code is used rather than QF to ensure you end up with F SCs/miles.

Nice! Seems a quality carrier from what I've read.

I've flown Kingfisher quite a few times domestically both in Y and J - only one word for them - awesome. Not a bad word to say about them on any flight. High quality service, food and (on some flights) IFE. (Although have also flown Jet a few times in Y and almost equally good service there), Shames many other airlines for sure in my experience.

Glad they'll be joining OW - will hopefully get to use them as an alternative routing to Europe if possible...

Yes, glad to see Kingfisher is joining Oneworld, I think Kingfisher might enter Oneworld before Air India acutally join Star, since Air India is under reformation.
