Find Cheap Flights from Newark to Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji (EWR - BOM)

New plane,comfortable seats, modern entertainment

Ethiopian Airlines check in staff made a pigs-ear of my check in process. First they claimed I'd missed the flight (my ticket said 2335 on 15 Dec, they changed flight to 0010 on 16 Dec, but claimed that as my ticket was for 15 Dec my booking was invalid). They proceeded to re-issue me with a new ticket a (for the 0010 fight on 16 Dec), but then also tried to change my connecting flights by one day - even though they should remain the same (in effect the flight was only put back by 35 minutes, so why change a booking for connecting flight by 24 hours?). Fortunately on arrival in Shanghai, air china check me onto the correct flight. However, to compound matters, my luggage has gone missing and, bizarrely, Ethiopian airlines issued all foreign passengers with landing cards for Japan - not China!

The Crew woke everyone up in the middle of the night with 5 hours to go to serve breakfast. Should have let people sleep and served breakfast with 1.5 hours to go.

Everything was very good

Comfort and friendly crew.

Electronic entertainment can be better.

The flight was fully packed . Almost after 6 hrs of flight bottles and tissues were littered here and there . Bathroom started to be dirty . No water was kept in the nearby pantry . Flight attendants didn't come when called .

Seats had no cushion. Seats were very uncomfortable and completely worn out. Entrainment sets....head sets socket was broken. Touch screen would not work. Remote...some keys were not working. Food was good. Direct flight was great.

It wasn't clear that we would need to pay to check our luggage, especially since every international flight I have ever been on allows you a checked bag at no cost. When we got to the airport it cost us $130 each to check our bag which we were told it would have been around $50 if we had done it online ahead of time (if we knew). $130 per bag is excessive for checked luggage and we were extremely frustrated and disappointed. I like to fly Virgin when I can due to comfort but that experience left much to be desired.

Never seen an international flight charges checked in luggage $130 US dollars a piece

Free wifi access

Food was better than most. The crew was nice. The flight departed promptly.

The touch screen didn't work, and the bar below the chair that one can step on couldn't hold itself up, and I constantly had to reposition it. The audio port of the seat next to me didn't work either. The plane definitely needs a renovation.

The service was pretty good. I only had an hour to board my next flight, so flight attendants moved me up towards the front of the plane so that I could exit earlier than others. I was able to make it to my next flight.

There was a 3-hour delay after all the passengers boarded. We were all sitting inside the plane without any explanation. At first, the captain blamed airport for not giving any updates on their departure, and a flight attendant that I talked to blamed the local temperature, which was a total nonsense. Later the captain announced that there was an issue with the engine. My layover was supposed to be 4.5 hours, but it got cut to 1 hour due to the unexpected delay that they had not clearly explained. I had to run to catch my next flight. When I got to my final destination, I found out Air China did not transfer my bag on time, so I had to file extra paper works in order to receive my bag two days later.

Orderliness

Staff showing ignorance on "checking-in once for one trip", say from Abidjan to Blantyre. They kept me waiting but with little help.

The plane is spacious. It gives leg comfort

The handling of the layover in Dubai. Very appreciative! It was fantastic.

The flight was 15 hours from the US to Dubai, there is not much one can do to make a flight like that EXCELLENT, but the staff was more than accommodating, food was great, open bar and clean amenities. If the flight was not so long i would like this airline again!

Was ahead of time. Food good.

Media system dint worked for my seat and so was issue for many other seats.

For a business class seating get the seats were very uncomfortable old and worn out. Had a very uncomfortable flight

the crew was very attentive and was good with the customers. have no complaints there.

the international flight was good bu the choices of movies and music left a lot to be desired.

New boarding system of putting your hand luggage on ready was good.

You have to pay for food and entertainment even though flight over 4 hours.

Overall itinerary and arrival well ahead of schedule

I have great regards for air India based on domestic experience. But my first international experience made me change my opinion. Below two things are the main reason, Food - taste was below average and rice not properly cooked. Cabin crew - could have been a little courteous. And also have at least one stationed during flying time.

Toitlets cleanliness

It was terrible

Because l have to wait for 22 hours and they let me pay for my own visa and hotel when l arrived in dubai

Attentive staff

I love the wide variety of beverages. I also enjoyed how many times they passed through the cabin to offer us drinks.

I have been on the newer planes and the TV functionality is great. However, the older versions have poor quality TVs with horrible functionality. The touch screen does not respond to your finger and sometimes you can't even get the remote to work. They definitely need to update the technology on all planes.

There was pretty much nothing I didn't like. Everything was great, including the Business Class Lounge in Dubai. The service was great, the staff was very pleasant, the comfort of the seats was unmatched.

I remarked that the entertainment was OK, only because I have seen most of the movies and tv shows that were available, the response time for the buttons between the remote and the view screen was sometimes slow, and of course, the WiFi, I'm sure, will be improved with time.
