The Air India Experience: Boeing 777-300ER Economy from New York JFK to Delhi

    Hi, I will fly with the same aircraft and I heard that depending on the type if aircrafit the carry on luggage will be put into the cargo hold. I have a luggage carry on (not a backpack) and I wanted to ask if you saw people putting their carry on with the checked baggage. Thank you!!

      @@didistuparu Great question. This aircraft, the Embraer 195, has very small space inside the plane for carry ons. If the flight is full, they often run out of room and will check your large carry on (with wheels) to the cargo for free and return it as you leave the aircraft. This flight was not full so they were not doing this.

    if you can choose between taking a sailboat or AirIndia, take the boat, nothing will change with this POS ever. ownership does not change mentality, and they can never compete with CP or AF . I have friends who still use it for the cross Atlantic flights and repent it immediately :P, choose anything but this . I am in my late 30s and have lived in 3 continents and can confirm this is the worst airline I have ever used, even AA seems like an upgrade from this !!! shit service, zero accountability, clueless staff , if things go south, you are by yourself! and the latest icing on the cake and by latest I mean in the last 3-5 years, the identity theft and fraud issues ( yes , after change in ownership go the fanboys can relax, there are entire segments on it on YT and reddit.

    31" pitch. Short passengers have no idea how lucky the are. I would have my knees squished into the armrests in the row ahead of me. About half my flights. I prefer 32" if i can get it. The last time i flew a 767 was on Continental Airlines to Bristol. This route only lasted a year. No, i prefer BA, KL, or AF. All better all around. Austrian definitely seems to be second best. I wouldn't mind trying Austrian, but only if i had no other choice.

    Lufthansa ruined my wedding proposal and has proceeded to care 0%. They overbook their flights to the point that dozens of people are kicked off. Doesn’t matter that you have business class seats and there is nothing you can do about boarding your confirmed flight. They don’t make it easy for you to get refunded either. They really are the worst airline I have ever dealt with and I have been flying between Europe and the US for almost 25 years at least twice per year.

    Very well executed review. Two points of (constructive) criticism: Didn't like the harsh cut mid-boarding. Couldn't get a good look at the first class cabin. Secondly, fast-fwd through takeoff and climb out is a no-no for aviation videos as many folks (like me) very much enjoy getting a feel for the takeoff experience on the type. Otherwise I found the narration relevant and enjoyable. Thank you!

    I am considering a JFK-BOM flight with Air India, returning from Delhi back to JFK or Dulles. I had seen great reviews of Air India's business class but those must be on the newer planes. For a 14-15 hour flight I would definitely want a working media unit plus some cleanliness. I wonder if there's a way to tell when booking if the plane will be a newer model or if the route is the biggest clue (you mentioned newer planes being used for Mumbai flights only). Thanks for any additional suggestions!

    • @JourneyingwithJosiah
      @JourneyingwithJosiah 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for reaching out! It looks like as of now, they are always using the newer planes on the JFK-BOM route- this review shows what the experience is like: th-cam.com/video/5JelBSPTdZ0/w-d-xo.html. Much better than what I had on my flight. When you are booking, you will know that you got this plane if the seat map shows that the seats in business are set in a 1-2-1 configuration and the seats in economy are in a 3-4-3 configuration.

    Worst airline in the whole world, especially after the much-hyped Tata takeover. At least when it was a loss making entity under the Indian Government they would fix the broken international flight seats, make sure they was working in flight entertainment, etc. Under the greedy Tata's they are not spending a single dollar fixing even broken seats etc. Since the last 3 years they keep dangling the arrival of new planes knowing fully well that their long haul flights wont even be ready for delivery until 2025. In the meantime they are flying millions of customers under unsafe, unhygenic and unacceptable conditions. They are simply tapping on the weakness of Indians with food. On the domestic sector give Indian cheap idli, dosa and upma meals and they will jump on to social media and sign the praises of Tata. In my 25 years of International flying (I flew the inaugural 777 non-stop EWR to DEL on business class with AI) I have never seen an airline in such a deplorable condition. Will pay an extra $75 to $100 for my dignity and self-respect but not fly this horrible greedy, cheap and miserable airline. Stay away!

    The unclean plane is not the fault of air India. It’s the fault of the Indian people who don’t take care of their own stuff and are generally unclean. Their whole country reflects it. This is the harsh truth. They actually seem to like squalor. It’s not that they are poor, even the wealthy Indians live in a shabby unclean way.

    Air India Now 70 Years Old -- Still the Most Unfriendly and Unreliable This year three of us travelled to India and made the mistake of flying Air India Express from Bagdogra to Delhi on 23rd April 2024 [Flight IS-776] to catch a connecting international flight within 9 hours on Emirates [EK 515]. Since we were traveling internationally, we packed our bags as per international rules and regulation because we had a connecting flight within 9 hours. To my surprise, Air India Express at Bagdogra charged us Rs 16,950 for an extra baggage. We told them that we were in transit for a connecting flight but they wouldn’t listen to our concern, rather they were rude, arrogant, discourteous, and shoveled us apart, blaming us that we were wasting their time and holding up line. They suggested us to talk to Air India Office at New Delhi IGI Airport. So, we did. We met Air India Supervisors, and in principle, they agreed that Bagdogra staff should not have charged international passengers Rs 16,950 who had connecting flights. But they did not help us at all because they did not have any mechanism to refund money so they suggested us to write to the Main Office/Head Office for the refund. Thus, I explained my case to Air India Customer Service. But I had to explain them over and over again because Air India would direct me to Air India Express Office, and they in turn, would direct me back to Air India Office. This back-and-forth exchange of emails including two international calls happened 6 times, and every time their response was that, “we are “looking into the matter.” Finally, they agreed to refund me some Rs 3000, which I declined. I wanted full refund or nothing -- it was a matter of international rules and regulations. They argued that our itinerary did not mention the word “Transit,” even though we showed them our boarding passes. I have saved all the letters and receipts. For no fault of mine, I had to face their most rude, unfriendly and uncompromising behavior. This is how NRIs are treated in India. Thus, I would suggest all my fellow travelers never to use Air India for local flights. More Frustration: Last year (Feb 2023), three of us flew from Washington DC to New Delhi by Air India’s Business Class. As soon as we entered the plane, they announced (in Business class) that their Entertainment system and floor lights, were NOT working. Upon our continued insistence, a technician was called upon who eventually fixed the system. Flight was delayed by 45 minutes. Then, as night fell upon us, we tried to flatten seats but one seat wouldn’t flatten for sleeping. So, we called the steward, and he discovered that a spring was broken inside which didn’t allow the seat to flatten. He managed to flatten it but then seat wouldn’t go up in the morning [because the spring was broken], so one of us had to travel sitting on a flat seat without the back support. Imagine how uncomfortable it must have been for several hours. No refund was ever given. This was in Business Class folks! So, my advice again to fellow travelers that never ever fly Air India Business Class from Washington to New Delhi.

    In short us Indians call this flight "Flying Garbage" We flew in 2023 and I'm pretty sure after that trip I felt one day all parts of this flight break loose someday mid air...seats were torn, metal things were sticking up from them, hand rails/ rest came into our hands broken.. charging things broken, entertainement system and remote broken, my kid got wall in place of window for SFO TO DELHI TRIP whole trio he was pissed off.. FROM DELHI TO HYD HE WAS BETWEEN 2 WINDOWS. food is horrible from the shock what I've seen I haven't used restroom throughout... Cherry on top was our flight amazing pilots landed flight 2 hrs late in Delhi...Assuming all the disasters good thst we put longer hours layovet just in case which heloed us alot... Our next seat people almost missed their connecting flight from Delhi cause of that delay...

    Hey, are there power outlets in the economy seats? Do they work?

      @@Shivpragx No there is not. There were only USB ports, most of which were broken. Definitely being a power bank!
