I flew on India’s longest nonstop flight from Bengaluru to San Francisco. This Air India flight covers a distance of 8,701 miles and it is the longest flight operated by a Boeing 777-200/LR and the world’s 9th longest flight. The flight is pretty wild with over 800 mph speed due to strong tail wind.
My Journey started at Bengaluru Int’l Airport Terminal 2 with amazing garden setting. It is India’s nicest airport terminal. The non-stop flight to San Francisco is operated by a leased B777 from Delta Air Lines with hybrid decor. It features 28 Suites in Business Class, 48 Premium Economy and 212 Economy seats.
We took off with powerful thrust setting with close to maximum takeoff weight. Captain Mohammed Ali Khan explained the routing of the flight and the takeoff performance calculation. He also explained about the “Bump Thrust” feature unique to the B777-200/LR that can provide 5,000 pounds of additional thrust from the engines during takeoff.
I checked out the current long-haul service offering of Air India. The flight service included 2 full meals. Business Class passengers receive pajamas, amenity kit, and slippers. Has Air India improved? I gave my verdict at the end of the long flight.
What a graceful pilot, to take time to share his knowledge. Massive kudos to him. Good job.
well sam chui is also a pilot and a famous youtuber… such a lucky guy he is.
Just imagine if an Indian vlogger goes to the British airways pilot and ask him the permission to shoot the cockpit ,do you think the pilot will allow ?
hi good morning
@@DrUK93 never
Bro there are video, infact in many of Sam's vlogs. Not necessarily British airlines but western/arabian airlines.
Wow it's very rare to see a captain explaining the flight mechanics outside the cockpit which is good for the safety of the flight. Good job air India.
Have you heard about Auto Pilot.
With it being a 17 hour flight I guess that they are flying with two captains and two first officers. So it might give them a bit more leeway.
I do think that it's need that they can take out that tablet out of the cockpit. I would love to have something like that detailed information in the entertainment system on the flight.
Indian Airlines are not allowed to use camera inside the cockpit as per the DGCA, that's why!
Is it unsafe if pilot doesn't want to explain the detail??😂😂😂
@@imkarthikbhasiOn ground. YOU can...
India has some of the most beautiful airports, in the world. Looking forward to seeing Air India improve their service.
😅😅😅😅
Banglore T2, is the best out of all. The Delhi, Mumbai airports are loosing their shine honestly. Chennai is litreally the worst airport in India. The Navi Mumbai Airport and the new Airport for Chennai is our only hope.
@@meisgoodto4166only platinum grade airport in India
@@meisgoodto4166 I see where you are going. Mumbai airport's T2 may be nice, but there is so much congestion due to the single runway operations, and T1 & T2 at BOM are poorly connected. Hope the Navi Mumbai airport fixes most of these problems.
@@y.k.2726 I dont think you've read the airport name properly, I said Banglore T2 lol 😂
Good to hear that Air india is changing!! I flew them from Korea to India in early 2010s. I wish to take Air India again!!
Wait for the Transition period to get over it will take time but you should try the full new experience. Currently due to supply chain delays many of their original Interiors planned to be rolled out may get delayed by 3-4 months

As a son of a former Indian Airlines employee, I'm loving the new Air India. I do miss the Air India jharokha windows from the old 747's, their iconic interiors and their Maharaja, but change is good. I truly appreciate Capt Khan for explaining the flight mechanics and the smiling faces of the crew. Indian passengers are demanding and challenging on Indian Airline crew, but their service is amazing. Air India has over 20 menus including Jain Diabetic etc unlike any other airline. Hope the aging 777's get replaced soon by the 350's for the US routes.
It is Air India. Not called Indian airlines, which is offensive.
A350 can't replace B777 not in coming 5 yrs...AI operates 9 flights daily to USA. And only 6 A350 ordered as of now. So how come A350 will gonna replace??
@@arpansonawane6027 I didn’t know that. I worry because Boeing is not as safe as airbus anymore with all the safety issues, etc.
@@arpansonawane6027Not 6 a350s but 40 of them. 900s and 1000s in a 50:50 split. Out of them 6 will be delivered from 900s by june this year (2 of them are already delivered. Latest one just reached today). So yeah they will slowly replace the 777s in the coming years.
@@jerryuma Boeing is not safe?? Boeing has 0.08 crash rate in every 1 million take off/Landing. Airbus has 0.07 per million.... Now 98% crash happen due to pilot error... You can't judge a whole company by 2 accident..
Kempegowda Airport is always the first to bring the best tech out of world , I like this airport and the city dearly as a frequent flyer from Maharashtra

I hope to see KIA becoming the first 5-star Skytrax airport in India!

Yeah right...but you can't get a free WiFi 😂 you need to request a voucher from Info counter...this airport is still not yet complete. No stores, mini-marts, pharmacy, shower room, etc.. still a long way to go when compared to "world" class airports. Wake up !!!
@@siva-sivA True, the airport is still missing lots of other features. The CTX machines and full-body scanners have still yet to come to the international side of T2, and there is still no AirTrain or people-mover between the two terminals. And whatever happened to their plans of merging security lanes for men and women and screening families together?
I’m a Pakistani and really happy to see Air India reaching new heights, MashAllah May Allah grant success to Air India
And I hope PIA gets in good hands as well
why the fuck do you feel the need to mention that you are pakistani ?

I worked in this terminal as an intern for 3 months 😍.such a beautiful terminal . The four guiding principles that have influenced the design and architecture of the new Terminal T2 of Kempegowda International Airport terminal are a garden, sustainability, technology, and art and culture.
Hey what intern job did u do?
Ewww southiess
That captain is an absolutely cool person,genuine soul.
There's a typical COW MOOING every where in comments!😀
The 777-200LR is definitely something. Having a larger fuel capacity than most, if not all, twin jets. Yet Flying at Mach 1 in a subsonic jet is just incredible!
It is an incredible aircraft!!
It caught a tailwind. Flying at that speed might not be safe for an aircraft not designed for supersonic flight.
6:35 I love how the pilot explains all about the aircraft and flight path👌👌✨
Wanna be his friend😅
Yes, have fun. 🤩
he was muslim tho💀

I really loved that part where the Captain was explaining all about the aircraft and flight, love to chat with him in person. Such a cool sight so see.
I like Sam being critical - we need more people to give honest opinions about any service (airline, hotel, rail, whatever) to push them to be better. As a passenger, I am excited for the future of Air India. I just flew them in economy from JFK-BOM and it felt like a major transitional phase. Some things are great, some are okay, some need big improvements. Here's hoping we get a better AI so we get more options to travel and better prices.
The 777's are Really Amazing Airplane Made by Boeing,.Like Wise those Old Birds 757&767👍🙂🇵🇭🇰🇷
I am proud the Engine u flew with, GE, i am a part of it.
Kudos to all Aviation and Aerospace companies out there, and kudos to all Engine manufacturer
I was in San Francisco during September/October 23 and very happy to see an Air India flight there. For me, Air India flight always stands out due to it`s livery and also being an Indian basically. I had only flown with Air India only twice, from London to Mumbai and then to Kochi in Feb 2017. Had seen Air India flights in New York, Melbourne, Bangkok and Singapore which makes me happy. Air India never flew to Adelaide in South Australia; but during Covid times around Aug 2020, there were some repatriation flights between Delhi and Adelaide and took some photos. Later on, Air India had two flights transiting via Adelaide, one from Sydney and the next from Melbourne to Delhi, but their Delhi to Sydney or Melbourne were direct. Both these service via Adelaide has since been scrapped. I had flown to the new Bengaluru airport from London and then to Kochi in Jan 2009 with the defunct King Fisher airlines. Air India should provide WIFI service to flights especially the long haul ones.
add Toronto to your write up. Air India operates a direct flight DEL-YYZ.
@@abhijitguha494 I haven`t been to Toronto but in March 2020 I was in Vancouver and Calgary in Canada and I didn`t get a chance to see an Air India flight. . Sorry mate Toronto is in my future plans. Thanks for the positive thoughts.

Love seeing the videos from India, and given the rapid growth of their aviation industry I both expect and hope to see many more!!!
I've seen this plane land at SFO while doing some local planespotting. Truly amazing flight and great crew! Last time I flew with Air India, the crew wasn't quite so friendly but in general I find the airline to be very hospitable. Love the video, and props to the airline!
I enjoyed the Captains tech brief.
Me too
Proud to be an Indian....I LOVE MY INDIA FROM BANGALORE..... SENDING LOVE TO ALL PASSENGERS 💞❤️
Happy you loved Kempegowda Terminal 2 and the flight, wishes from Chennai (I am from Bangalore)
Great airport, hope more to follow!
Ewwww southiess and tamillzzz are the WORST creatures ever
*3 Liters of fuel per second, 50 cents per liter. $1.50 per second of fuel is $91,800 for 17 hours*
Woah is aviation fuel that cheap?
1.50per litre what
So every passenger needs to pay around $350 for fuel
It will actually be more than that due to take-off performance uses more fuel. Fuel in cruise flight is optimized by less fuel used.
The thing made me feel good is that, we have all the employees Indian inside aircraft... and thier genuine smile and their proud behavior ... Air india is not a luxury airline... we provide what's best for a passenger with minimum cost... just like our moon rover... proud indian.. jai hind
There is no difference in pricing. Air India charges the same as other normal airlines. At times it's even more than other airlines.
@@ChiefIntel Not for a foreigner.
Jai Hind
Always like air india, frankly speaking I never had any issues with them, always like their service, it’s at least much better than Air France which I flew recently
Mr.Ratan Tata is the person behind the transition. It will only get better from here. Love Tata❤
What a wonderful trip Sam! Keep up the great work my brother! Also I hope you enjoyed the flights on AI & hopefully the new Air India 🇮🇳 can keep up the good work! Also what a BEAUTIFUL old bird that 777-200LR very rare to find any -200LR operators today now that DL has retired all of theirs! Well except for that FORMER DELTA now AI 777-200LR I have fond memories on that very 777-200LR I flew it to Rome Italy 🇮🇹 from Atlanta GA 🇺🇸 back in 2017! I miss her but glad she’s still flying and maybe when I fly AI I’ll fly her again! Also 808 MPH is officially SUPERSONIC and in a 777! Supersonic btw is 767.24 MPH! Finally will Air India 🇮🇳 keep those former Delta cabins I hope so they look great!
Cheers 🥂 mate!
Air India My Pride My Nation Great presentation to Global Foregin Travellers to Choose Air India Flights..thank you captain ❤💐🇮🇳🙏👍👍🙏🙏💐
After hearing the very young pilot, I realized that the pilots job is not just steering the plane! so many things that they to do!
Lmao no sh*t sherlock
You have to appreciate the care and attention to detail every staff member aboard has put into the flight. Love to see Air India pushing boundaries this way.
Thanks for covering the BLR-SFO sector Sam ❤
Hi from Bengaluru. Lots of thanks to the Captain for the explanation. Nice video to watch Sam. Thank you.😊
15 hours no wifi, sounds like heaven. Enjoy the disconnect.
After watching this video i really miss my india ❤. I always prefered Air india and i would do the same in future.
I work in avionics modifications, wirings of an aircraft. We had a project, it was a B777-200LR. We modified the cabin wirings, IFE of course base on aircraft manuals. On the same aircraft , I traveled to US from the middle east 16 hour non-stop with my wife and children. That’s the beauty of aviation for me…
big fan of your videos .... hope Tata will improve the experience soon .... lots of love from India ...
kudos to pilot. he spelled bengaluru correctly and sharing his knowledge to passenger is awsome
Thank you & appreciate Sam for bringing out such a nice vlog on Long Haul Air India Flight. Its very very intresting to see Pilot explaning about the aircraft, his knowledge is superb. Your flight review is outstanding. Good to see cabin crew & passengers appreciating changes in Air India. TATA's will definitely turn Air India into Worlds favourite Airline in no time.
Sam, I love your conversations with the crew so much! Would love to see a video in Akasa airlines too, heard they are also trying up their game.
Thank you! I always love the crew engagement part.
@@SamChui sam visit indian Islands lakshawadeep Islands and Andaman and nicobar islands 🇮🇳. And states like kerala.
Kerala to lakshawadeep islands atr72/42 the route is so beautiful with torque blue water
Akasa is just like any other low-budget airlines. Took a very short flight from Chennai to Bangalore earlier this week. Charged Rs. 550 extra for 1 kg over weight on ckecked luggage. No hot drinks served due to short flight. Booked and paid for food inflight but handed some muffin in a box and some juice packet. Young, enthusiastic, busy bee crew. The pilot hard landed the MAX but safe. OK, overall.
Great video and loved the Captain - I am sure Tata will further improve Air India
Indeed! Can’t wait to fly on this bird….month of march please arrive soon 😊
Thanks, Sam. I loved you narrating a bit about technicalities here and there, which is most welcome and perhaps adds to knowing about flights better. Amazing that Pilot shared interesting details; we never get to see this often. Overall, a good share. Thanks once again and look forward to more.
Mr Mohammed Khan the commander of this prestigious flight is entrusted to fly and basically answers all the persons who talk that in India we have only opportunity for those who are in majority. Thank you Sir for the service to the nation.
Air India is not govt. anymore. Now it is owned Tata
You're correct with the meals. It looked like overcooked and lacked freshness. Probably the catering needs to prioritise the food standards based on the routes and also the packaging.
Most incredible welcome and smile from air crew followed by :( please come)❤
Omg i love the amazing sound of the GE90 on the 777-200LR
Captain explaining flight details is the best part, kudos to him.. ✨👍🏻👍🏻
The gracious way in which you discuss areas for improvement is exemplary. Great job, yet again, Sam. Thanks for sharing
I am already seeing improvement. Good for Sam and Air India to showcase the changes
I wish that air India would come with original strength ❤❤❤❤
I wish I knew what you were trying to say.
I'm from Tamilnadu. This is my favorite international flight ✈️ trip of Air India connecting from India 🇮🇳 directly to USA 🇺🇸. I love this direct flight ✈️ from Bangalore, Karnataka to San Francisco, California. I am so happy to know that this is the only Air India flight that connects directly from South India 🇮🇳 to North America. Like this I want some new air India flights ✈️ to connect from Bengaluru and Chennai to Los Angeles and other major cities in USA 🇺🇸 as well as Canada 🇨🇦.
Such an awesome interactive jovial pilot who wants to deep dive into the intricate things! 👌 🔥 ❤️ A captain indulging with an Avgeek is really rare. 🎉super happy for you Sam.
Love from BLR 27R. (I stay close to this runway).
Great information from the Captain!! Thank you sir for explaining!! 🙂
Bengaluru T2 - the best in India and definitely one of the best in the world.
Delhi airport is better. Trust me ( I live in bangalore and travel every month to delhi)
@@user-cb4ln3nz7n 😂Yeah surely better in terms of ppl jumping the queue and not following any discipline. Have travelled to delhi many times.

Sam, your videos come back to the initial high quality of when you started, my compliments indeed ! 👍👍👍
I LOVE flying but i tap out at flights lasting 15 hrs or more. At that point, i’ve had so many meals/snaxks, seen too many movies, worked for hours, listened to hrs of music, and slept multiple times.
You are a brave man !
Great info from the captain, found that very interesting 👌🏾
Back on 2006 I flew on air India when they flew out of Los Angeles on a clapped out 747….. even than it was the best flight to India I have ever had simply because the economy used those wide butt cushion seats. Food was awesome and free alcohol And I got drunk as a skunk with the uncle and auntie next to me. There was no internet no tv except for what came down from the ceiling. I’m glad. They are getting better and they will be number 1 again for international service. Come back to Los Angeles air India.
Glad to note the changes that are taking place in our Air India...proud to be Indian
Seen all the metro airports. But Kempegowda airport has always been so memorable.
Thank you sir for flying from Namma Bengaluru to San Francisco!! ❤
Thank you @SamChui for sharing your experience of this awesome big planes your videos actually made me stared to like more and more airplanes I really appreciate it keep un the good work my friend 😎👍🙋♂️ ❤
Great humble captain and wonderful explanation on his equipments. Hope one day I will see him in the Melbourne AirPort
Lovely Flight crew, graceful pilot and a comfortable flight... I am glad to see that things are improving and waiting to try the new planes they will induct.
Sam - nice to see you in Namma Bengaluru 😍
Your videos are engaging, I really loved the Air India 🇮🇳 A350 video of yours. Make more videos of Indian Airlines 🙏🏻
I had travelled to SFO n back from Bengaluru in the same flight in prime economy class...it was good journey, comfortable
Beautiful air port.
Nice explanation from the captain. Good job on the info
For the last 20 years I have been flying by Air India. It's always a great experience to fly with Air India. Now India is changing so as Air India
I would like TATA Air India to become the best airliner as it was when it was with TATA 🎉🎉🎉
Done👍
It seems Air India will repeat 1968 as the worlds best airline very soon. All the best!
Captain seems like a great pilot. The landing was rock solid, not even a bit of waggle or bounce. Landing on a shorter runway is no problem with a really light aircraft having burned off all that fuel.
Happy to see again your travel in Air India flight to San Francisco. Amazing video. Congratulations Sir.
Connecting TWO TECH HUBS in world non stop. India is on the RISE and AIR INDIA following on. Food innovation on the Flight is to be improved to a higher level. GO GUYS.
Perhaps India to to Tokyo to sfo so they can add a few more flights
@@purevanilla4438 that route sounds lot better but it’s hella expensive lol
My last time I was flying out of New Delhi, there was a Delhi police officer for every nine steps I took asking to see my boarding pass. Its definitely overkill and unnecessary to have this done so repetatively.
Hello Sam, thanks for the wonderfully wonderful video. But I never thought that a 777 could have such a long flight range! It's not just amazing but really interesting. Sam, you are amazing!
Really enjoyed and appreciated this video because we might get a connecting flight there soon. Beautiful terminal, but seems very strict by taking away your clipper. Thanks so much Sam! Good Job!
Nail clippers are not allowed in Indian airports. They also took away mine once.
6:26 honestly, I do not need wi-fi on an airplane. Since it is a good place to disconnect from the world and just enjoying the time. In case of getting really bored, I have books and IFE
Good explain from the captain 👨✈️ love from Bangladesh ❤️ and I love air India ✈️
This was a nice 777-200 LR ex Delta. The original Air India ones are very tired and not thoroughly clean inside and out. Hopefully TATA has new interiors coming soon at least. Also you are right Indian airport security is the most picky and detailed in the world. Emptying everything electronic several times is daft as is the 5-6 ID/ ticket checks. In my recent flight where the DEL-ORD was delayed 10 hours (third time this has happened) they at least handled it better having arranged a hotel. The previous two times we were left to make our own arrangements and several of us stayed in the lounge for 24 hours. Agree with you on food. They could improve that fairly easily, especially the Indian options I’d think.
I know they’re going through a lot of good changes and it’s good to see Air India really stepping up to deliver the best products they can. However, on their long-haul flights, I can’t wait to see their new aircraft and what the new products will look like.
Air India 🇮🇳❤️

@@ffpredator5214so you just ignored so many other comments praising the pilot and chose to hit on a guy just because he is also a Muslim. Get a life man this hate will not take you anywhere. Sometimes if you can't appreciate atleast don't hate also
I am sure travelling by Air India in the coming years will be a sense of national pride . I think the brand Air India beautifully personifies India culture and its Rich heritage .

I love Bangalore International Airport, God bless Air India and Captain Mr. Khan vivid explanation looks very cool man.
Despite the considerable break, the longest Air India flight from Bengaluru to San Francisco began its voyage. TATA, the very first and grand old symbol of Indian air travel, takes immense satisfaction in its voyage. I gladly sent my best wishes to the staff members who are providing compassionate and modest services to the passengers. For the past 15 years of coming to the United States, I have had several obstacles in transportation and at immigration checkpoints in two or three locations. And I happened to have a 3 to 9 hour stopover in the airport. Now, all of these laborious tasks will be completed pleasantly. Next, I'd want to thank Sam for sharing this fantastic footage with his viewers.👍
