It was far better than what others had led me to expect. I would fly with them again. Don't expect all features of the entertainment system to work.
The trip with Air India was better than expected starting with the check-in and the Lounge. The flight was comfortable for a 1 hour flight.
The flight got delayed and was not updated in time.
Good experience, comfortable seats. Entertainment did not work but vista wifi and entertainment worked great.
I had a camera bag that exceeded the 10kg allowance for hand luggage. I am 67 years old and have been travelling will my cameras and lenses all over the world and have not paid once for the excess weight. Also, even if I wanted to check in the bag, I can’t due to lithium batteries and delicate equipment. Air India should review their policies. Or is it just a cash grab. I had to pay additional 7000 rupees.
Ok, where do I start, hmm! Good things first - the meals/food was tasty, the seats are comfortable and legroom in Economy was ample and foot rest with message roller is simply amazing, Wi-Fi Entertainment works well. Bad things - in-flight entertainment screens and remotes either had physical damage and or simply not working. This was the case for more than 1/2 the flight. Flight that was long haul - 12+hrs non-stop. If you want a cracker or a biscuit with your tea - forget it, they carry none. Feel like having a chilled beer - forget it as they will serve you room temperature always and every time. The crew seem young and inexperienced. Will I fly again, yes I would only because it gets me from Sydney to Delhi in 12.5 odd hours (fastest), otherwise I will never. It has been what a year or so since TATA took over but I have not seen any change, I really hope this changes.
The boarding was not in sequence. All were invited altogether. I was not secured the meal I had asked for.
Entertainment screens were either broken nor did not work. Also seat back did not work. Definitely not comfortable journey
Non reclining seats on a 14 hour flight. Crew skipped drinks for my row at least twice.
Everything was bad and entertainment did not work and no landing cards and overall done with Air India
