Old plane, got upgraded to “first class”, shaky and squeaky seats, too many announcements, crew was absent but over friendly when interacting.
Really old air craft, broken seats and tray tables. Entertainment screens don’t work. Charging ports didn’t work.
Terrible airline... Originally, the flight was canceled and didn't receive a notification, had to learn from their twitter account... Rebooking was a huge pain... Every other airline like American and United did eventually fly a day later... The flight had a layover, no other airline needed one... India is such a weak nation globally, this airline has no leverage to negotiate good airspace... Flight left late, again no notifications as to why at the airport. On the plane, wifi is spotty, chargers don't work... The only saving grace used to be good food. Even that has gone down the drain. Just the worst!
Never ever travel with Air India is a very conscious promise made to myself. Poor customer service , irresponsible staff, pathetic operations and bad planes. Overall -0/10. Planes had mosquitoes in it.. i am still thinking what international standards of hygiene are they even following????. Operations team has no quality standards. They can route you anywhere on any plane inspite of a confirmed ticket and a web checkin… without your consent. Go for AirIndia if you love challenges and roller coasters and safety, time and hygiene is never your priority.
Bad seats. Broken entertainment system. Charging port not working. Seats were broken worn out. Crew was amazing. They helped as much as they could.
Food is good, staff is good... Wi-fi quality is poor, disembarkment after landing is atrocious.
Flight crew was lovely. Bathrooms should have been cleaner. The handsets in business class for watching the entertainment are horrible. Very difficult to figure out which buttons are for what. I managed to get the flight maps on my screen but it wasn't easy. Never got anything else up.
Uneventful trip. Good flight crew. Food could have been better and a bit more of it. Cabin cleanliness was ok.
Inflight Services are poor compared to other airlines. They do not offer even water during 15 hr flight. Food is little in portion and I had food poisoning after last meal ( rajma chawal)
The Flight was delayed. They didn't notify. I was stranded, and was roaming here and there with my hand luggage at the Delhi Airport. After 2 long hours, someone finally found to escort me out of the airport to the hotel. Even at the hotel, we had issues with food bill payments. The hotel AC didn't work. The hotel bathroom was leaking of water. The hotel fridge didn't work. In the airlines, the entertainment system didn't work. Everything was self-service. The flight was old and shaky. This is the most horrible experience in any airline whatsoever. Despite being a patriotic Indian, I have blacklisted Air India from my future travels.
