Pack,i have not flown in Emirates, but the Air India from JFK-DEL service is just fantastic! If u areplanning to travel thru India anyways, then i would suggest choose Air India (AI) for a # of reasons:1. the aircraft Boeing 777 used in this sector (JFK-DEL) is one of the brand new aircrafts of the AI that has all the comfort u wish for even in the economy class with a vareity of selection of inflightentertainment choices2. The AI crew are very professional and courteous and also very helpful-so if anything's needed while on or off the flight, help is constantly provided3. The AI crew at Indira Gandhi Int'l Airport in New Delhi are also very courteous and friedly..if u have any luggages probs like delays on any prob checking in (i had luggage prob coz my connecting flight out ofNewark was late so my luggage came late, but the AI crew on ground was so helpful and professional-i wasamazed!) they will help u out.4. if u fly Indian Airlines from DEL-KTM, u dont even have to check out and check in luggage in DEL, i believe,since both of them are the same company now (but be sure to confirm with travel agent on this)Thus, i would recommend flying AI, esp the JFK-DEL route & when u're travelling thru Delhi anyways.Also, they have a brief technical stop at LHR in London: just refueling, maintaince, and cleaning and some passangers pickup...its max an hour, so no big deal. Good Luck!
