If only they would put something with real J on that route, they could prove some real competition to LX and TK (also presumably BA, but who wants to pay outrageous YQ or connect at LHR, I've never flown via VIE, but from what I've heard I'd probably take it over LHR for a connection in a heartbeat).
VIE was a very pleasant connection, but I am not sure you would like their real J either. i found LX J to be much more roomy and comfortable overall than OS. That may be because of their configuration causing the bulkhead to be worse than a regular seat.

Still cannot buy a ticket though...To start flying so soon means empty planes.

Today is the big day. Who will fly on the first Air India flight?

According to Air India still not selling tickets.

Quote
The flight has still not been loaded in the GDS or Air India’s own reservation for booking yet. I am not worried about that, however, given in the past as well, Air India has just made those announcements sometimes 4 days before the first flight. But this may also indicate that the deal is not in the bag yet and hence Air India is not formally announcing the flight.

So once they pass Saudi airspace, do they enter UAE airspace and is that OK? Or do they just fly over Iran and Pakistan?

Looking into some routes that get extended to avoid certain airspaces, RJ408 seem to take a circuitous route.

Presumably, after avoiding Saudi anti-aircraft fire on the way to Israel, they'll take the long way home.

Just boarded LO 170 TLV to RZE inaugural flight. This is definitely the most chareidi flight I've been on in my life. There is one Polish group on the flight, and practically everyone else is frum here.

I think you were seeing what they project as the route which is direct from location to destination
