American Launches Non-stop Chicago Delhi Service

Taking “AAdvantage” of the range of its 777 fleet, American Airlines has launched non-stop service between Chicago and New Delhi. This is a tribute to India’s increasing importance as an economic power and to the large population of Indian descent, which has settled in the Chicago area.
Eastbound, you reach Delhi in 14 hours and 25 minutes; westbound takes nearly 16 hours.
This route joins an increasing trend toward extremely long flights that save you time. However, be sure to drink pretty of water and to get as much exercise as possible during these flights, in order to feel as good as possible upon arrival.
