Which Airline to Bombay

I wish to fly cheaply (but possibly not too cheaply) to
Bombay from London. There seem to be three airlines to
take:
Aeroflot (unreliable?), KLM, Gulf or Lufthansa.
Anyone got any advice on who to go with and who not?
I don't mind a casual environment, but delays are a bummer.
Thanks.

   I've been flying Emirates lately. Nice new planes, pleasant
   crew, low fares. No, I'm not an Emirates employee. Bom-Lon
   flights stop or change planes in Dubai, but layovers aren't
   that long.

   Whatever you do, don't go with Qatar airways, the planes are
   old and cramped, and the staff aren't all that friendly. The
   food's a bit grim too. I don't think there's a problem with
   delays though.

   Kuwait airlines were great (although dry, but food
   excellent, new planes, personal TV etc, cheap tickets),
   Emirates are good, as are Lufthansa and KLM, avoid
   Areoflot.
