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
Too bad. Got too much trouble with security screening at New Delhi
