  • Hello everyone and welcome to one of the first IndiGo B777-300ER video’s!
    Many have been waiting impatiently for IndiGo to start long haul flying and the day has finally come 😃
    The IndiGo B777-300ER still has the interior of the previous operator of this aircraft Azur Air. Prior to that the aircraft was flying under the Emirates colors from 2007 to 2019 as A6-EBX.
    The plane has a staggering 531 seats on board, so one of the highest densities in the world!
    This flight is a joint operation with Turkish Airlines, who is also wet leasing the plane to IndiGo.
    The tickets are sold both at the TK and IndiGo websites so there is a lot of confusion for the TK passengers as they suffer a product downgrade. If you don’t need the fine print you wouldn’t know. So that is something that has to be worked on.
    It also seems that TK passengers are served a hot meal while IndiGo ones have to pay and those meals are unavailable.
    I still need to properly confirm this but the operation is unclear to me.
    There is a single row of 7 Business Class seats but it was unavailable for IndiGo passengers to purchase, only on the TK website.
    Come fly with me and see for yourself if you understand any of it and if you like the experience 😅
    Have a lot of fun!
    Enjoy!
    Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
    From: Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, India
    To: Istanbul International Airport, Türkiye
    Flight Number: 6E 017
    Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-300ER
    Registration: TC-LKE
    Flight Time: 06:09

    Have a nice one!
    You can also leave a Super Like as a tip for my work. I’ll invest it all on future trips.

    I flew from Istanbul to Mumbai on 13 July. What a pleasant flight! Didn't feel like it was a 16 year old plane. Silent engines and smooth take-off and landing. We arrived 20 minutes ahead of scheduled time in Mumbai. Will definitely fly again with these people. By the way I was offered seat 25A at the window, next to the left engine cowling.

    A week back I was searching for a vlog to see how is Indigo’s B777 found nothing. So I was very happy to see your vlog today. Very good trip report and your captions are very informative. The amount of details you mentioned are amazing and also as I love plane spotting I liked all the flight details you put up. I m sure lot of hard work hours go into it as you have to make note of the aircraft types and the origin/destination details to put up in the video. 👍🏾 Coming back to the Indigo B777 I feel if the interiors are with the original 6E seats it will look good as they have re painted the aircraft they should also install their seats. Currently it looks confusing. Indigo is known for their low cost model so they should stick to it even in their B777 but offer lower fares. With these high fares it does not seem worth it to take this flight as I can get a ME airline flight for a lesser price at full service. As I stay in Chennai all flights are 1 stop and if Indigo is charging a premium doesn’t make sense. It’s almost $500 RT not worth it at all for the low cost model. If it’s $250 I ll fly indigo to IST.

    • @shan2fly993
      @shan2fly993 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same situation for Bengaluru as well. Was about to book IndiGo until I saw what they offer for the price. Etihad didn’t have a big price difference at that point and I went with them instead. Instead of nonsense like changing terminals in Mumbai at the middle of the night, it was better to take an overseas layover for this one. Just my thoughts.

    I come for the flight reviews, stay for the technical details haha! Amazing video as always, I've been waiting to see how the new B777 experience from Indigo feels like.
    I've flown 6E umpteen number of times in the domestic sector (will be flying international with them in just 3 months) and I've always loved the brand. Never had any weird crew encounters, my only ever uncomfortable experiences in Indigo could be the fellow passengers lol. Most 6E flights I've taken reach well before time, and I absolutely LOVE that. My only quip with the airline would be the food, but then again, what more can you expect for the price. Coincidentally, your choice of cup noodles and Coke zero is literally my staple every time!

    IndiGo really just buy their own widebodies at this point and operate them on longer routes with better services like WiFi, IFE, Complimentary meals etc. I would love to see an Indian registered IndiGo 777 or an A330neo as no airline here operates it. Its highly underrated.

    787-9 would be an ideal aircraft for them with around 400 eco + some premium eco seats. Even though they wanted to be a feeder for TY on North American routes but filling those 532 seats with no food or IFE or WIFI would be a struggle. I think Indians are now willing to pay a little extra for premium products.

      What a great trip that sounds like. I’ve been to Mauritius plenty of times with Emirates and to Newcastle only once. It is however one of the coolest flights on EK as it is usually on the high density 2 class B777-300ER and the runway there is the shortest that EK operates to, so have a lot of fun!
      If it is a 2 class aircraft there are some seats in front of the engine, where the business class usually is at.
      Have fun!

    Fantastic video! This is the first is the first ever video of the Indigo 777-300ER on youtube. I am 100% sure that this video will help you add many subscribers and accumulate many views. I have flown Indigo nearly 50 times and have never experienced a rude crew member. However, I always find Indigo crew to be really unprofessional and super-slow. Maybe that is due to the poor quality of training. However, sometimes i have found very nice Indigo crew and had memorable experiences with them. Looking forward to the next video1

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I wanted to fly this so bad and be the first as I also didn’t find any! So I rushed to fly it, edit and publish it 😊
      Look, I know they fly a lot.. And I know it isn’t fun to work for low cost carriers vs some of the better carriers with better conditions, but a customer shouldn’t be paying for that..
      I know you “get what you pay for” but that doesn’t mean you should roll eyes at a simple request of mine… anyway, I don’t mind. Each experience and airline is different. For this amount of money I recommend to forget IndiGo and try someone else.
      I hope you keep experiencing enjoyable moments with them!! Thanks for writing!

      Waaaaay too many seats. That’s very hard to do so. Imagine that not even Emirates as the world’s biggest international airline fills that many seats on a B777. It’s just hard.
      I agree with you, an A330 would have been more then enough.. Although with this load the flight would still have been empty with an A330 too.

      Many airlines have it as a strict procedure unless safety requires them to use full reverse. Many other airlines have the same, such as each Euro airline, Qatar Airways and more.

    Wow I wanted to see an aviation video regarding the indigo B777 to turkey and voila, I find your video! Honestly, I was really excited to see a bigger plane in indigo livery and wanted to see what sort of service were they providing in it because I have always wanted them to have a better customer centric service flying long haul.. but I am disappointed and a little confused to see what complicated joint system both TK and indigo have agreed to! No IFE, no hot meals especially for indigo passengers and those so called amenities- my goodness, I was horrified to see them!
    No wonder not much passenger load is visible on this route. If I hadn’t seen your video, I would have been seething with anger at such a convoluted service! Thanks so much for proving us with this vicarious experience! It’s much appreciated.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Here it is! I was looking for some and couldn’t find any so I flew myself over there.
      Sad to see it’s a disappointment for many, I wish it were better or at least cheap. But at the price I paid one can take any other Middle Eastern airline instead.
      I don’t think this service will last long as with these loads the airline will bleed money. We’ll see!

    Its interesting to know that there are Indigo flights to Istanbul from Delhi and Mumbai. I regularly fly from Brussels to India every year once or twice. Found Turkish Airlines- Indigo code share Flights from Brussels, via Istanbul, to Mumbai. Only problem is 12 to 15 hours transit time at Istanbul. I dont mind going to downtown resting at a Hotel and back to airport. I hope there is a Premium economy section as well, if I can find a not too expensive upgrade! Thanks for the nice flight report with all details! I wonder how you know which aircrafts arrived from where or departing to where!

    @r3m_2m 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Indigo is the third airline to fly 777-300ER to fly from Mumbai to Istanbul, with the other being Turkish Airlines and now defunct Jet Airways, which is interesting if you think about it. And fun fact: I actually flew on this exact plane twice when it was flying for Emirates, one time from Dubai to Karachi back in 2016, and another time from Lahore to Dubai back in 2017. I would love to see Air India fly to Istanbul as they too have partnership with Turkish Airlines through Star Alliance.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is all true, you just need to check the registration of the plane and look where it is flying to/from.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They already flew to Istanbul on the A321neo with seems a bit more suitable, although the B777-300ER is more comfortable. I hope the experience improves.

  • @ishanpai1791
    @ishanpai1791 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wowwwww I didn't expect you will make a video on indigo's B777 that quick. Its has been hard to find pics oThn their B777. From what I see your point, YES, it is hard to fill 500+seats in economy and only one row of business class is available. If they want to make their long haul aircraft more famous, they gotta add services like hot meals on board, WiFi, Blankets,pillows,IFE but with some exceptions. Like have less quantity in food serving or maybe for IFE, have free TV shows, but make people pay for movies & games. Their leasing plan is quite nice but the service could be much better.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Completely true Neville! And I wanted to mention that as well but I don’t know exactly what the reason is. I believe the plane changes from flight to ground mode and sort of prepares for spoiler deployment etc. But I’m not 100% sure so I’ll have to confirm.
      On an anecdote, not even my B777 pilot friends knew much about this as they simply never heard from the cockpit!

  • @andrewverinchuk1694
    @andrewverinchuk1694 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Hi Alex, your intros are a piece of art! You have been flying on the aircraft, that used to fly mass Russian tourists on charter flights to mostly affordable international resorts - Hurghada and Sharm-El-Sheikh in Egypt, Antalya, Phuket and Pattaya. Many passengers and consuming alcohol before and during a flight, and large numbers have been duplicated on baggage bins so they have a better chance of finding their's row. With the lowest costs in mind, Azure never cared about using the entertainment systems they received from previous carriers like Emirates. This airline was always having troubles with scandals, changes of management, very poor service, and troubles with state authorities. So, Alex, you tried and tested the mud of flying a Russian charter airliner.
    What upsets me, is that an airline like IndiGo with a state-of-the-art fleet of neo airliners seems not to care much about customer service too. Second-hand amenities are even worse than what Azure was offering on these "drunk" charter flights.
    Thank you again for your amazing trip reports. You are the first TH-camr I would pay to continue watching your trip reports if you run out of money or goodwill and desire to share your experience with aviation geeks!

    • @andrewverinchuk1694
      @andrewverinchuk1694 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When living in Moscow, I was trying to avoid airlines like Azure (and Pegas fly, Northwind, Royal flight) by flying with Aeroflot to Turkey and Egypt, and EK with QR to Thailand. As an avgeek never bothered to have a stop in DXB or Doha.

  • @MaartenVVonk
    @MaartenVVonk 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thanks Alex for another extensive trip report.
    It remains strange and above all confusing, this kind of "fusions". Good communication towards the passengers also fails here. Too bad, we'll see if IndiGo continues to use this B777.
    Anyway, cheers!

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      My pleasure Maarten!
      It is very confusing indeed. I fly a lot myself and it is weird to find myself in a situation where I feel this confused.. I don’t think this business model will last long and they’ll eventually stick to what they are good at.

    Nice one Alex but 531 seats are massive, unfortunately in my airline we only have 412 seats in the 777, 24x Business and 388x Economy but u can’t forget the A380 even that only has 517 seats, 8x First, 48x Business and 461x Economy

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      412 is not only, that’s a lot too! Very high density. The ones with lowest density are the Japanese ones with around 250 total. Less then half vs IndiGo! Crazy numbers. Thanks for writing and the interesting numbers!

    Fantastic trip report, was happy to have come across it. I might be going to India and a TK-Indigo combination was one of the options. Was curious to see what the product is like. It's definitely a major no as this product is disastrous. It's definitely not worth the money. TK should really do something about it so as to improve this onboard product.

    Thanks for sharing your video. Something tells me you are involved with the airline industrie. You gave us a lot of inside information which is greatly appreciated. I learned so much here. Question: when you mention an airline, equipment and cities served what program are you using? Flightaware, Flightradar24 or others? Im glad you put Indigo in its place. Horrible flight crew members. Keep up the good work.

    Nice video and very good commentary. 25% liad factor is shockingly low. People may not prefer flying to Istanbul and Turkish on their forward journeys to Europe and USA. Dubai or Doha is the most preferred change point

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      TK is good for connections, but if it is including IndiGo I’m afraid other carriers are better indeed.
      Perhaps the loads get better, but this was on a weekend during the peak Euro holidays.. We’ll see..

    • @TheGecko213
      @TheGecko213 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
