Toasting to Kingfisher's First London Flight

This is a photo of the bar in the first class cabin of Kingfisher Airlines' new A330-200, which made its first flight between Bangalore and London today. It's not quite a shower, but it's still pretty outlandish.

But the bar isn't the only swanky amenity on the new international flights. Economy passengers also get plenty of booze--if not from a wetbar--in addition to USB power outlets, full sized pillows and blankets, a 10-inch IFE screen with live TV and access to email. Seat pitch in the back of the plane is a relatively generous 34 inches.

And while all this good stuff is flying to and from London, Kingfisher is also sprucing up some newly acquired planes in India. With its takeover of Air Deccan complete, the five-year-old low cost carrier is being rebranded as Kingfisher Red.
