Lovely video and Thank you for appreciating Air India. My dad would have been proud watching this, had he been alive. He worked with Air India for 36 years. I have been on many Air India flights and always enjoyed flying with them. Cheers from Mumbai India 🇮🇳.
What a touching comment, thank you very much! I’m sure your dad has beautiful stories and anecdotes about his career at Air India. I’m sure he shared much with you. What a past the company has.. Thank you again and see you around!
But brdr now a days air india is not concerned with basic hygiene and moreover 70 to 80 perecent of screens doesn’t works properly .. thts the air india for you nowadays , we thousght it would be changed drastically after tata takeover but it doesn’t changed anything
That is the crap they inherited from the govt run Air India which early was one of the worst 5 in the world.Now the privatized AI has its work cut out. It still has those govt crappy pilots, fat and surly FA, etc that it must get rid off.
I still remember the times when AI had a mini hub at FRA and had 5th freedom for FRA-ORD and FRA-LAX all served by the 744. Was too young and didn't have the chance back then to use this exotic opportunity. Always loved the maharaja as their little mascot
That’s true, I you reminded me of that! Those were the times, right?! I was young too so I didn’t really get the chance. I did fly with Jet Airways from Amsterdam to Toronto though..! Thanks for brining up this nice and interesting memory!
Delhi is my base city! Just loved the way you are so positive about Air India, truly appreciate that. That's a bitter reality most of us Indians are avoiding AI but we just hope AI does a 360° makeover after taking over by Tatas.
One has to be positive Ravi! No need to be bitter. I’ve had some different experiences on Air India too, but you just have to see it in a positive way. If all airlines were perfect what a boring world this would be! But yes, Air India deserves much better and hope they make the Indians proud. Sad their business is going to other countries. Thanks for watching!!
TBH , most of us Indians have historically avoided AI due to bad service, quality of interiors , constant delays etc. It simply sucked and there were better options available. Hopefully now the Tata's can do a much better job.
12:46 Once, flying on the same route. I got locked inside the toilet and the crew had to instruct me on how to get out from there. A bizzare experience. Well, looks like air India has certainly been improving under the new ownership. The crew is the best 👍
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Never seen such a door. And some small old lady opened without issues😂 The staff are all looking forward to further changes and hope they recover what they lost during the government take over. Time will tell! And yes, the crew has consistently been great on all my Air India flights! I would just fix some interiors to bring them up to date.
@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you for your great words. The great thing about TATA's is taking over of Air India which is in 35 thousand crores deficiet. No one dared to do so. Any one will take over profitable companies. And also they will come out with great gesture when Nation needs support. Company with moral values. I read some time back while recruiting Ratanji by JRD, that he needs a person not only efficient but with values. So he is delivering what ever JRD dreamt.
Thanks very much for another lovely review!! So glad to see Asian reviews are back, i will hopefully travel back to Asia this fall if covid doesn´t mess it up again and can´t wait for that.
I’ve done tons of trips to Asia recently and plenty more to come! I’m glad it opened up after such a long time! I don’t think Covid will mess it up as I think nobody cares anymore. Restrictions have done more harm then good. Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation have actually taken this very same flight too...and even one with them out of Mumbai. !!.. crew are always friendly ..and food great.!! And if one doesn't doze off immediately...they even come and quietly ask you , if you want another helping...or some more dessert...!!... Unfortunately..even though many aircraft in their fleet are not too old....there are maintanence issues .. however... hopefully this will soon all change...and they will relive the glory years... take care of yourself and stay safe...
As a vlogger you were treated differently. I always use Singapore airline but 3 months ago in April 2024 i used Air India Sydney to Delhi economy return on their 787. My seat was 11 exit row , from Sydney the IFE was working but they forget to load headphones for whole flight. The Quality and quantity of food was no way near to others . Delhi to Sydney i had same 11 exit row right side window seat, i brought my own headphones but the IFE unit was broken. It was so hot inside the plane while it was grounded, everyone was complaining. Imagine paying full fare usually more then Singapore airlines and travel without IFE for 12.5 hours. i have used Air India Sydney to Delhi once Before Tata and After taken over by Tata , nothing has changed.
Thx for exposing them despite being an Indian. A lot of Indians are just exaggerating change. Thx fully my parents never fly on air India when we go from the us to India .
Thanks Usama, I’m very happy to finally be able to travel to this area. Still looking very much forward to Bangladesh opening their visa on arrival and Pakistan making it easier for me to go there!
Lovely video. We do watch all your videos and surprisingly we were searching for AI380, your video came up were so happy to see the content. Definitely helped.
Ali! Thank you for the great compliment! I forgot it’s summer break for you guys! I have more work then ever, so very busy. Thanks for watching my videos, I am very happy you like them. Will you go on holidays? Take care Ali!
Got this video in my recommendation. Saw it, loved it, and subscribed to your channel. Now going to watch some of your other videos and looking forward to the upcoming ones too. And your one liners are damn funny 😂😂.
Thank you for precisely highlighting and promoting Air India, the company has lots of improvement plans and they are working towards making the airline the best ! Recently Air India 777s are being replaced by A350-900 on the India-US route. Please show that flight soon !
I only fly four times with Air India two international and two domestic! I must say each time I ly with them I had great polite professional service! Is always easy to find gate of Air India ? Just follow the food smell ? I know some people complain about Air India but I never had a reason! I think most Indian complaints as some Indian can be very difficult to please!
I agree on the nice service received from the crew, I’ve also done 4 flights and always great. It’s easy to complain about Air India as they just have waaay too strong competition on all their routes if you think about it. And those competitors invested very much in product development. Air India needs some upgrades, such as IFE and beverage selection. So obviously if you fly to the US with them or with SQ, QR or EK there will be big differences at the moment. And yes, from what I know the Indian customer is the most demanding one. Fair enough, they bring incredibly lot of revenue, so much that companies like Emirates and Qatar Airways main pillars are India and neighbors.
Same I must agree with you, I flew JFK-DEL-HYD and back all on their 77Ws in 2018 and it was actually much better then when I travelled in Etihad two years prior tht. Maybe the crew were not the most friendly as Etihad seems to have a much friendlier crew, but yes I loved the legroom on their economy cabins for someone thats 5'11 it was hard for me to fit in most airlines cabin but not so with Air India and I must the food was the best I've ever had in air, maybe not on the DEL-HYD-DEL sector, they were rlly short flights ( less then 2hrs) esp on a 777-300ER soo it was light snacks, but the ones to the US were amazing but they didn't have a lot of options which I do have to agree with, and same with the IFEs, there are definitely better IFEs out there and Air Indias IFE's were heavily MID. But at the time when I was flying they had decent collections to watch but headphones weren't working. Overalll I must say esp for what I paid in summertime ( tickets to India skyrockets in summer ) the service was really good and so was the flight. I would definitely fly Air India again!
I am happy you have had a good experience with Air India. I have not had a good experience on their long haul sector on the Newark-Mumbai sector. I hope the airline improves.
I’m sure a lot will improve under the new ownership. Sad you didn’t have a nice experience. But that happens sometimes, even to me. Thank you for writing!
Air india has always been my first choice airlines after tata takeover it's really damn good the food the welcome drinks even domestic flights are also good
Great work! I've been subscribed and watching your fantastic channel for 7 months now! It's great to see it grow and with the pandemic drawing to a close, now more international travel opportunities!
I remember well Benji! And thank you for growing along 😁 With one pandemic drawing to a close now the next thing is already on the news haha, oh my.. All the best!
Another exelent video. I also love this food and I go to tell you a secret 🤫: ( I think that my family and I alone compete with the Chinese for so much rice that we eat, we are also Latinos and without a doubt I prefer this delicious food than than the wester one too) Volviendo al tema, it seems like a great economy class and a lot of opitality, everything like that definitely makes a difference.
Nice comment Sergio! While I don’t mind Western food very much, I do have a limit and during the strict phases of Covid I got there. I mostly travelled to Europe and US and just got enough of that Euro food and craved Asian. Of course there are Asian restaurants around but it has nothing to do with the real thing like there. The worse part is when I had to do hotel quarantines: I spend weeks eating hotel bland roomservice burgers/pizza/pasta😱 And yes, rice rules, even in my house despite no Asian/Latino background 😁 See you around!
Hello Dear, I enjoyed your whole experience with Air India 🇮🇳. And I'm very sure that Tata will take it back to it's glory what it deserves. Thankyou for making this amazing video. Love ❤ and respect from India 🇮🇳.
I couldn’t take any cutlery as I had hand luggage only and cutlery gets taken out at security! I tried to collect some already and it was a bad idea, so now I just collect Business Class/First Class wine glasses😄
Good write up about this trip on AI. I am waiting to fly AI from Sydney to Delhi soon. Appreciated your positiveness about AI. You highlighted things very well. Thanks.
I hope you have a wonderful flight from Sydney! While AI might be a hit or a miss, as long as you stay positive and have fun it will all be great! Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Thank you so much for the most awaited video. I unfortunately could not recognize my former coworkers. It really looked like you enjoyed your flight and you lived up to your word by relishing the inflight cuisine. I’m looking forward to your report on Vistara now.
I very much enjoyed my flight indeed Neville! So you used to work at Air India, interesting! Where about now? Vistara will come soon, perhaps next month. Have to mix and match everything to please all tastes!
@@TheLayoverAviation That’s nice you enjoyed your flight. I was with Air India as a flight attendant for 8 years and at present I’m living in Toronto. Thanks again for sharing all your experiences and keep ‘em coming!!!
Hey Mamta, delays unfortunately seem to be unavoidable at any airline and sometimes do occur.. My longest one was 10 hours due to intense fog😵💫 I wish you happy on-time flights!
Indian hospitality are more often than not great. FA & pilots seemed decent on the AI380, and most importantly aircraft engines and all were well maintained.
I keep having consistently good crew all over South Asia, perhaps being a curious foreigner might make it more easy. I did see some loud interactions with other passengers but they seemed to be giving people a hard time. You grow what you seed!
The Tata’s now control Vistara and Air India and after flying both of them I strongly believe that if they combine one with the other it would be unstoppable: What one misses the other one offers, and vice versa. I loved Vistara but I missed that warm hospitality and heritage I got at Air India. Glad seeing you around again Errick!
True! It actually happened to me once 10 years ago when I mistakenly booked “EK380” from Dubai to Hong Kong, it was supposed to be my first A380 ride but I mistook the flight number for aircraft as I ended up on their oldest A330-200😅
I’ve been to India many times and love it! Specially the food in Kolkata😍. I’ve been to Cochin, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata.. Like I mentioned, the hospitality is always great. Don’t think I’ve ever come across a rude person there. I have more Air India and Vistara video’s and they’ll come out soon! Thanks for watching!
I am looking forward to more of this yummy food on their flights! I actually had better on other Air India flights, with my favorite Gulab Jamun for dessert. It will be published sometime soon!
Wow, this video is really popular! I rarely watch Eco trip reports, but as it was you and Air India, I thought: why not? And i did not regret, of course:) Well done, good music choice, excellent editing..and a nice sense of humour (i remember in one of my early QR videos i had a similar experience with a guy smiling fron the screen at my seat and i was wondering whether I should really sit down in my seat, hehe) The captain was late, but moving fast:)) The staged welcome was sweet..i do similar things but would never admit they are staged, haha. I also knew that India has a really young population..but was surprised that senior status starts at 18+:)))) Loved the Windows 95 vid:) Also, happy to see you survive a Chenin Sauvignon made in India, hehe..how was it? Still, it was good to see Air India still offers free wine in eco. I would have enjoyed the meal as i love butter chicken and daal, too:) And i had to laugh seeing you doing another one of my tricks, on top of the staged welcome: could i possibly have the vegetarian option, too, just for the camera and my viewers? Hahaha. The dentists choice desert looked..well..like the dentists choice desert:))) You really made my evening tonight and i stayed up longer than i should have, hehe. Great video of an amazingly great product with a narrative not only full of interesting details, but also full of humour..well done:))))
(third attempt at answering, it keeps refreshing the page and I loose all I wrote😫) Homer! Thanks a lot for your comment and for joining along on my trips in the Economy Classes! Watching won’t hurt your back! ;) I waited to write you back as I need a good 15 minutes of peace with a cold Paulaner here in Bavaria. I’ll have to rewatch some of your video’s and observe all those “natural and genuine welcomes” you have received! The wine was, well.. There is a reason why you won’t find it in your local grocery store! I won’t have it again but happy I tried! I like the initiative and I still think that it was better then the Chinese wines I had.. Yes, they do wines too! And with a look-alike French label, château >insert Chinese name here
I didn’t need any covid test at all this time, finally! Just being vaccinated and fill out some online documents ahead. Super glad the world is returning to what it was!
Amazing review! Loved it, normally reviews about Air India are negative, so its pleasing to see some positivity flowing too! A Wizzair flight would definitely be suggested! They have the most dense A321 cabin, so I'm sure you would enjoy the flight 😂😉
Thanks for the comment! I have nothing against Air India, and yes, many things should be improved on (I’ll feature this on a different video) but this particular flight was just great. It’s also I guess whatever you make out of it, right? Wizzair.. I keep getting requests. Why do people want to torture me?😭 I’ll try, they have some interesting long flights from Dubai. I’ll likely need a physiotherapist after though..
@@TheLayoverAviation a therapist is recommended after a Wizzair flight... one of the most important parts, if you can, pick a flight with the A321... they have one of the most densely packed aircraft in the world 😂 also, I advise you to shrink a little before hopping onto Wizzair
There are so many airports I haven’t visited! I would say I have visited most major airports on all continents except for South America. There I’ve only visited Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. So there’s much more left to explore! Haven’t been to your home airport either!
Tata is making this airline world class 🙏 thanks tata ji,i have seen days people pay 1.5x amount for some another airline but 1/3rd amount for air india,torn clothes red tapism corrupt beaureacrats make this airline a loose to 2nd tiers
Yaaaaasss, it is the review!!!!!!!! Air india has been not great these past few years, but before that, they were golden when it came to flying! Hoping for the same now with the merging with tata group! as always, and always, and always, amazing review
Haha! new york and india is a very popular route! would you believe it! one to jfk and the other to new york, and in between it, an aa to new york too??? Oh my god :D
And also all the other airlines with whom you can connect to New York..! I flew to Washington from Dubai last week, it was 100% full, and I can assure you that half of the passengers were Indian!
@@TheLayoverAviation I'm also very glad to say that I will flying in the air again soon! I'm thinking of making a trip report about it too! Ill have to use all of your tips and tricks! Many many many thanks!
Seychelles actually at the moment! But I’ve been in Singapore 4 time since they opened up, both for work and leisure. It’s one of my favorite places on eart. And number 1 to eat! Singapore Airlines, Vistara and Gulf Air video’s from/to Singapore coming soon!
Hi my dad works for Singapore Airlines and he travelled to delhi bu Singapore Airlines but we tried air india last week from Singapore to mumbai it was better than it was
Fly by royal brunei Airlines never been on it so that's why let's see how is it and are you Australian seeing your way of writing seem Australian by the way I'm a fan from Adelaide, Australia
I’m actually Spanish and living in Dubai! The Brunei B787 is a must soon and it’s easy as they fly to Dubai! Nice your dad flies the A350, he must know a lot of interesting facts about it. Thanks for all the compliments my friend, hope you keep enjoying!
Great video. Don't all the Air India 787s have names? Any idea what the name was of your plane? I really like that you got both meals and showed them to us.
Wonderful Video!⭐ I am an Indian, and i love your videos. This flight was really enjoyable, highlighting so many best views in Aviation. I love your videos, i wait for it to release. Can you please fly in Kuwait Airways Airbus A320neo Kuwait - Cochin?
7:40 thankfully thats not the fate for those 777s, jet airways received the AOC few weeks before, I think it will get back into service in a few weeks/months.
Yay the 787 Report :D, Another Great Trip Report buddy! Air India seems great overall..and the food I love the Indian food(not the too spicy one haha). I Taught You gonna pause on the guy who put his feet on the wall at 13:30 hahaa that so bad :D. I cant wait for the following Trip Report! have a good week :D buddy
Not spicy Indian food?!🤨 Cappuccino with no milk please! The people at Air India were great, making the experience wonderful. As an airline they have a lot of room for improvement. I’ve also flown on a B787 held together by tape, but didn’t want that to be my first video.. And the feet on the wall I didn’t even notice! There are some countries where I switch off my eyes cause I wouldn’t be able to stop seeing things. Feet on the wall are something minor you might encounter in certain places, trust me😂. I know I will one day miss to see all these differences on my travels. What a boring world it would be otherwise, specially if you never shared a meal with a cockroach or two😅
Dhal is the best. I want a petition signed where it will be a side dish for every meal every day. In Spain we also eat Dhal, slightly different and more like a stew/soup and it’s also incredible. It’s called “lentejas”. You made me hungry..
@@TheLayoverAviation occasionally doing such stuff such as this just makes the life and related things quite rewarding...and doing all this solo is just bonus...🍹
Hey there! This is the very first seat of the Economy Class cabin. In my opinion it’s the most comfortable seat. The lavatory is actually a little far, you’ll have to walk to the back.
@@adityamisra7702 Never gonna get tired of it if you ask me. And according to his about section on the channel page+his frequent Dubai trip reports,He's probably Emirati (Maybe not a native but eh)
Can’t believe someone remembers those, thanks! That’s how it started but it seems very few were interested.. Then I published a video of a flight and it exploded. I’m glad there is someone left! I still film food so I might make more, let’s see if there is more interest!

Can’t wait for Air India to regain her lost glory! Hope Tata manages to achieve this in the near future! ❤️
I’m sure they will, they managed to do a good job with Vistara!
Looks like a great flight. Enjoyed the video!
It was a lovely flight indeed! Happy you did, thanks for watching!
I love Air India due to Aadarniya Shri Ratan Sirji ji. God bless themselves ❤❤❤
Nice video. Let’s hope Air India can rebuild its image and service standards, as once known.
I’m sure they will Colin. The demand is there, I hope they don’t waste it to others.
Under TATA, I know that Air India will be a benchmark for air travel...❤
I really hope so!!

Air india has always been my first choice airlines after tata takeover it's really damn good the food the welcome drinks even domestic flights are also good
I’m looking forward for what’s yet to come!
Great work! I've been subscribed and watching your fantastic channel for 7 months now! It's great to see it grow and with the pandemic drawing to a close, now more international travel opportunities!
I remember well Benji! And thank you for growing along 😁
With one pandemic drawing to a close now the next thing is already on the news haha, oh my..
All the best!
Air India is Pride of India, with Tata owning we feel even more proud.
I like that proud feeling people have in India with their airline and the Tata family. I hope they make the airline great again!
Such a nice video…Watched it 5 times….excited for my trip
5 times?! Wow! Thanks 5 times then😛
I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Another exelent video. I also love this food and I go to tell you a secret 🤫: ( I think that my family and I alone compete with the Chinese for so much rice that we eat, we are also Latinos and without a doubt I prefer this delicious food than than the wester one too) Volviendo al tema, it seems like a great economy class and a lot of opitality, everything like that definitely makes a difference.
Nice comment Sergio!
While I don’t mind Western food very much, I do have a limit and during the strict phases of Covid I got there.
I mostly travelled to Europe and US and just got enough of that Euro food and craved Asian.
Of course there are Asian restaurants around but it has nothing to do with the real thing like there.
The worse part is when I had to do hotel quarantines: I spend weeks eating hotel bland roomservice burgers/pizza/pasta😱
And yes, rice rules, even in my house despite no Asian/Latino background 😁
See you around!
Hello Dear, I enjoyed your whole experience with Air India 🇮🇳. And I'm very sure that Tata will take it back to it's glory what it deserves.
Thankyou for making this amazing video.
Love ❤ and respect from India 🇮🇳.
I’m very glad you enjoyed; that’s what I do this for.
See you around my friend, love back from Dubai🙂
I never forget to finish those peanuts before landing !!! And who forgets taking those cutlery back home?
I couldn’t take any cutlery as I had hand luggage only and cutlery gets taken out at security!
I tried to collect some already and it was a bad idea, so now I just collect Business Class/First Class wine glasses😄
Good write up about this trip on AI. I am waiting to fly AI from Sydney to Delhi soon. Appreciated your positiveness about AI. You highlighted things very well. Thanks.
I hope you have a wonderful flight from Sydney!
While AI might be a hit or a miss, as long as you stay positive and have fun it will all be great!
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Good to see that AI has improved and that you have enjoyed the experience !!
While there is room for improvement for
the aircraft, the crew was stunning. Always are!
Thank you so much for the most awaited video. I unfortunately could not recognize my former coworkers. It really looked like you enjoyed your flight and you lived up to your word by relishing the inflight cuisine. I’m looking forward to your report on Vistara now.
I very much enjoyed my flight indeed Neville!
So you used to work at Air India, interesting! Where about now?
Vistara will come soon, perhaps next month. Have to mix and match everything to please all tastes!
@@TheLayoverAviation That’s nice you enjoyed your flight. I was with Air India as a flight attendant for 8 years and at present I’m living in Toronto. Thanks again for sharing all your experiences and keep ‘em coming!!!
That explains how come you know so much!
See you around brother!
Nice trip report.
Shukria my friend!
Can’t wait to see Air India being the next Emirates , I know it’s a long road but it’s possible ❤️
I would be happy if they reach the levels of Kingfisher and Jet Airways!
Looking forward to the future :)
Wow, its very good airline.
The people make it great. All my flights with them have been lovely.
Only the planes need some interior updates.
@@TheLayoverAviation Yes I love your videos🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! What a great compliment :)
Another wonderful video. I very much enjoyed it. Please keep them coming!
Thank you very much!
Always working on more videos😊
Lovely video bro
Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍
Glad you did Raj!
Very nice indeed 😊❤😊
Thanks!
Finally, welcome to India🖐🖐
Very happy to have been able to travel to/from India! 🇮🇳 ❤️
i will always remember the ships during approach!
As far as the eye can see!
One of the best airlines going
Hope they become the best some day
Nice video Dear👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍🏼
Keep it up great work!
Thank you !(Noob?😛)
Awesome trip report
Thanks Ralph!
Went 7 yrs or so back then in newly acquired dreamliner flight was 8 hrs late we missed one day of fun. Hopefully things are improving
Hey Mamta, delays unfortunately seem to be unavoidable at any airline and sometimes do occur..
My longest one was 10 hours due to intense fog😵💫
I wish you happy on-time flights!
Indian hospitality are more often than not great. FA & pilots seemed decent on the AI380, and most importantly aircraft engines and all were well maintained.
I keep having consistently good crew all over South Asia, perhaps being a curious foreigner might make it more easy.
I did see some loud interactions with other passengers but they seemed to be giving people a hard time. You grow what you seed!
Air India😇❤️🇮🇳
Enjoyed it thoroughly!
Thank you for covering Air india. Missed your posts .Now since Tatas have taken over I'm sure it will regain its past glory.
The Tata’s now control Vistara and Air India and after flying both of them I strongly believe that if they combine one with the other it would be unstoppable: What one misses the other one offers, and vice versa.
I loved Vistara but I missed that warm hospitality and heritage I got at Air India.
Glad seeing you around again Errick!
thanks for trying my home country airline now I can fly it from London to delhi
@@TheLayoverAviation actually they own 3 airlines, Vistara, AirAsia India and of course Air India
They most likely will combine all 3.
Nice video , adding some announcements would have been nice too.
Sometimes I’m not on time to record it.. It’s hard to guess when it will be played.
But I’ll keep it in mind for the next Air India video!
Good report
Thanks Haiam!
Lol @flighr number AI380. Confused me a bit there. As always, nice review.
True!
It actually happened to me once 10 years ago when I mistakenly booked “EK380” from Dubai to Hong Kong, it was supposed to be my first A380
ride but I mistook the flight number for aircraft as I ended up on their oldest A330-200😅
7:33
"Awaiting its fate, most likely transformations into Thumbs Up Cola cans." LOL that was legendary dude a nice one 😂😂
😛
Wow great to see trip report from India😍😍😍😍 hope to see more videos from air india. Did you like the country?
I’ve been to India many times and love it! Specially the food in Kolkata😍.
I’ve been to Cochin, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata..
Like I mentioned, the hospitality is always great. Don’t think I’ve ever come across a rude person there.
I have more Air India and Vistara video’s and they’ll come out soon!
Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation ohhh wow that’s great, ❤️ awaiting for more amazing videos❤️
Always love AI trip reports. As I love looking at the food!
I am looking forward to more of this yummy food on their flights!
I actually had better on other Air India flights, with my favorite Gulab Jamun for dessert. It will be published sometime soon!
Warm welcome from an Indian fan Layover Aviation guy😂🙏
Thanks Tanush! Many more Indian video’s coming!
nice video...should have shown breakfast service too
There was no breakfast service on this flight, just dinner. It’s only 4 hours..
Wow, this video is really popular! I rarely watch Eco trip reports, but as it was you and Air India, I thought: why not? And i did not regret, of course:) Well done, good music choice, excellent editing..and a nice sense of humour (i remember in one of my early QR videos i had a similar experience with a guy smiling fron the screen at my seat and i was wondering whether I should really sit down in my seat, hehe) The captain was late, but moving fast:)) The staged welcome was sweet..i do similar things but would never admit they are staged, haha. I also knew that India has a really young population..but was surprised that senior status starts at 18+:)))) Loved the Windows 95 vid:) Also, happy to see you survive a Chenin Sauvignon made in India, hehe..how was it? Still, it was good to see Air India still offers free wine in eco. I would have enjoyed the meal as i love butter chicken and daal, too:) And i had to laugh seeing you doing another one of my
tricks, on top of the staged welcome: could i possibly have the vegetarian option, too, just for the camera and my viewers? Hahaha. The dentists choice desert looked..well..like the dentists choice desert:))) You really made my evening tonight and i stayed up longer than i should have, hehe. Great video of an amazingly great product with a narrative not only full of interesting details, but also full of humour..well done:))))
(third attempt at answering, it keeps refreshing the page and I loose all I wrote😫)
Homer! Thanks a lot for your comment and for joining along on my trips in the Economy Classes! Watching won’t hurt your back! ;)
I waited to write you back as I need a good 15 minutes of peace with a cold Paulaner here in Bavaria.
I’ll have to rewatch some of your video’s and observe all those “natural and genuine welcomes” you have received!
The wine was, well.. There is a reason why you won’t find it in your local grocery store! I won’t have it again but happy I tried!
I like the initiative and I still think that it was better then the Chinese wines I had.. Yes, they do wines too! And with a look-alike French label, château >insert Chinese name here
@@TheLayoverAviation what a nice reply...now it was YOU who made my day. Cordial regards from Siegburg..and an ice cold Kölsch😅
Great video!
Thanks Rafi! I had a great time filming it.
@@TheLayoverAviation That's great to hear!
Amazing to know how you know the destinations of those planes on the tarmac !
A flightradar is your best friend at airports!
I Love Air India🇮🇳❤
Good job tq I already travel 2.3 times delhi to singapore but this time is covid time can u tell me covid test report carry ya not.🙏🙏
I didn’t need any covid test at all this time, finally! Just being vaccinated and fill out some online documents ahead.
Super glad the world is returning to what it was!
@@TheLayoverAviation I already vaccanated 2 dose is complete IAM going to next month last delhi to singapore tq so much 🙏🙏 sir
Have a lot of fun and enjoy the great food in Singapore!
Nice video❤
Olá Amigos Boa Noite Um lindo vôo pra você que Deus abençoe muito vocês!❤️🌿🌿
Obrigado Sergio!
Amazing review! Loved it, normally reviews about Air India are negative, so its pleasing to see some positivity flowing too!
A Wizzair flight would definitely be suggested! They have the most dense A321 cabin, so I'm sure you would enjoy the flight 😂😉
Thanks for the comment!
I have nothing against Air India, and yes, many things should be improved on (I’ll feature this on a different video) but this particular flight was just great.
It’s also I guess whatever you make out of it, right?
Wizzair.. I keep getting requests. Why do people want to torture me?😭
I’ll try, they have some interesting long flights from Dubai. I’ll likely need a physiotherapist after though..
@@TheLayoverAviation a therapist is recommended after a Wizzair flight... one of the most important parts, if you can, pick a flight with the A321... they have one of the most densely packed aircraft in the world 😂 also, I advise you to shrink a little before hopping onto Wizzair
great video thank you
Amazing trp thanks for posting ? Are there any airport you have not visited Me being inquesitive thanks
There are so many airports I haven’t visited!
I would say I have visited most major airports on all continents except for South America. There I’ve only visited Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. So there’s much more left to explore!
Haven’t been to your home airport either!
Tata is making this airline world class 🙏 thanks tata ji,i have seen days people pay 1.5x amount for some another airline but 1/3rd amount for air india,torn clothes red tapism corrupt beaureacrats make this airline a loose to 2nd tiers
I really hope it becomes world class again, specially with the new big order coming up. I’m looking forward to the great days!
who is tata??
@@harryklein5466 search for ratan tata, and tata group youll come to know , jaguar kand rover owned by tata motors
Yaaaaasss, it is the review!!!!!!!! Air india has been not great these past few years, but before that, they were golden when it came to flying! Hoping for the same now with the merging with tata group! as always, and always, and always, amazing review
Haha! new york and india is a very popular route! would you believe it! one to jfk and the other to new york, and in between it, an aa to new york too??? Oh my god :D
and after that.. a united to newark.. jeez
And also all the other airlines with whom you can connect to New York..!
I flew to Washington from Dubai last week, it was 100% full, and I can assure you that half of the passengers were Indian!
@@TheLayoverAviation Haha! Of course! JFK and the new york area has great connectiom@
@@TheLayoverAviation I'm also very glad to say that I will flying in the air again soon! I'm thinking of making a trip report about it too! Ill have to use all of your tips and tricks! Many many many thanks!
You’re in Singapore? Wow!
Seychelles actually at the moment!
But I’ve been in Singapore 4 time since they opened up, both for work and leisure. It’s one of my favorite places on eart. And number 1 to eat!
Singapore Airlines, Vistara and Gulf Air video’s from/to Singapore coming soon!
Good job
Tack Gunvald!
finally in long time air india oh you just made my day and i hope more air india video comes and keep it up
Finally Rattan! Yes much more coming, but I have to mix and match video’s so it will come out at some later stage. I have to make everyone happy!😁
Hi my dad works for Singapore Airlines and he travelled to delhi bu Singapore Airlines but we tried air india last week from Singapore to mumbai it was better than it was
Was it? I haven’t flown SQ yet to India, only from India to Singapore. Will have to try!
Hope you enjoyed the flight!
Keep up your great work your one of my favourite youtubers
Fly by royal brunei Airlines never been on it so that's why let's see how is it and are you Australian seeing your way of writing seem Australian by the way I'm a fan from Adelaide, Australia
I’m actually Spanish and living in Dubai!
The Brunei B787 is a must soon and it’s easy as they fly to Dubai!
Nice your dad flies the A350, he must know a lot of interesting facts about it.
Thanks for all the compliments my friend, hope you keep enjoying!
Is Qatar better than Singapore Airlines what's your opinion
Olá bom dia Amigos, Um Ótimo Vôo?
Obrigado Sergio! Sim, Otimo Voo!
Did united operate ord to del direct route? If yes then is it discontinued today?
Great video. Don't all the Air India 787s have names? Any idea what the name was of your plane? I really like that you got both meals and showed them to us.
I didn’t get the name of this aircraft, didn’t even know it was named.. But it was the Gandhi special livery.
Air India Is Good Airline In India❤🇮🇳
They improved a lot ❤️
Wonderful Video!⭐ I am an Indian, and i love your videos. This flight was really enjoyable, highlighting so many best views in Aviation. I love your videos, i wait for it to release. Can you please fly in Kuwait Airways Airbus A320neo Kuwait - Cochin?
Awesome review thank you! Please never change the intro music 😉
Thanks Melissa!
No plans at the moment to change it! 😉
Superb
Thanks!
7:40 thankfully thats not the fate for those 777s, jet airways received the AOC few weeks before, I think it will get back into service in a few weeks/months.
I really am looking forward to it! Thanks for the info!
Yay the 787 Report :D, Another Great Trip Report buddy! Air India seems great overall..and the food I love the Indian food(not the too spicy one haha). I Taught You gonna pause on the guy who put his feet on the wall at 13:30 hahaa that so bad :D.
I cant wait for the following Trip Report!
have a good week :D buddy
Not spicy Indian food?!🤨
Cappuccino with no milk please!
The people at Air India were great, making the experience wonderful. As an airline they have a lot of room for improvement. I’ve also flown on a B787 held together by tape, but didn’t want that to be my first video..
And the feet on the wall I didn’t even notice!
There are some countries where I switch off my eyes cause I wouldn’t be able to stop seeing things. Feet on the wall are something minor you might encounter in certain places, trust me😂.
I know I will one day miss to see all these differences on my travels. What a boring world it would be otherwise, specially if you never shared a meal with a cockroach or two😅
This was so fun you eating indian food yes might need the dentist Me being indian i minus sugar and oils love my dhal
Dhal is the best.
I want a petition signed where it will be a side dish for every meal every day.
In Spain we also eat Dhal, slightly different and more like a stew/soup and it’s also incredible. It’s called “lentejas”.
You made me hungry..
amazing description .
Thanks John!
12:18 watching Ross being shocked about his death along with watching the flight map...all while having white wine and peanuts ....quite a leisure 🥃
That’s the life, isn’t it?! couldn’t be happier 😀
@@TheLayoverAviation occasionally doing such stuff such as this just makes the life and related things quite rewarding...and doing all this solo is just bonus...🍹
superb
😄
I love these types of videos,
Btw how exactly did you find out which aircraft was going where?
Thank you Nitin, glad you enjoyed.
I have an app that shows live traffic, there is a few out there. Nice to know the destinations, right?
@@TheLayoverAviation great! Would love to see more from your channel
Your videos are really well shot, and relaxing
was the washroom a bit far from this seat?
i m confused btw front or last exit, would really help if u lemme know.
Thank You.
Hey there!
This is the very first seat of the Economy Class cabin. In my opinion it’s the most comfortable seat.
The lavatory is actually a little far, you’ll have to walk to the back.
@@TheLayoverAviation okay alright, thank you very much😀!!
Sir please make videos of vistara airlines
I already filmed the flights with Vistara, it just needs to be edited. Coming soon!
I Love Air India
I love how u like daal and I simply hate it. But loved ur videos.
But daal is rice’s best friend!!
Glad you like the videos though😛
@@TheLayoverAviation May be for occasional moments it is, but when u have daily with chapati, it sucks. Are u from India btw??
@@adityamisra7702 Never gonna get tired of it if you ask me.
And according to his about section on the channel page+his frequent Dubai trip reports,He's probably Emirati (Maybe not a native but eh)
would be nice if we got some of the food reviews you had on here and more new ones if you don't mind:)
Can’t believe someone remembers those, thanks!
That’s how it started but it seems very few were interested.. Then I published a video of a flight and it exploded.
I’m glad there is someone left!
I still film food so I might make more, let’s see if there is more interest!
@@TheLayoverAviation thank you so much
