Air India

Pros: Decent inflight magazine, good food, cabin crew who can think on their feet
Cons: Old planes, lowest dregs of society as passengers, etc

I used to be a frequent traveller on AI from Singapore to Bombay. I have probably flown on AI about 10 different times over the past 10 years and the definitive trip was a while back and this review is largely based on that one trip. I am ...

Pros: I would avoid air india by all means.
Cons: Babus  are part of  corrupt workforce which is outcome of job security. 

AIR INDIA still issue paper tickets. I had my life's worst night mare to get bad treatment at every point of time.  Inspite  of booking my name from their computers at check-in was missing. Because AIR INDIA has no computer networking or it is ...

Pros: Indian food, if you like indian food. The quality ain't great though.
Cons: Lack of customer service, rudeness, archaic bureaucratic policies.

On this day of halloween, writing about Air India is appropriate. Air India is possibly the worst airlines out there. From the day the thought comes to your mind that "maybe Air India won't be that bad and I should book tickets since they are less ...

Pros: On-time, lots of freebies, accomodating service
Cons: Older plane, primitive in-flight entertainment.

After booking our flight on Air India, we read all of these negative reviews and got concerned, but our trip was flawless – and, in particular, WAY BETTER than our last few trips on "name brand" airlines -- Delta, American, Air Canada. 1, Flight was ...

Pros: Better value than premium economy excellent food and beverages
Cons: very poor IFE ground staff at bangalore totally incompetent

Traveling from India to the US with an infant is, well, a challenge. With our 6 month old (who spills out of the standard bassinets already), we decided to travel in premium class to give ourselves some extra comfort. We thought of premium economy on BA ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Worst airline in the whole wide world..

My Saga of travel with AIR INDIA....(tickets purchased thru makemytrip) Visit my blog http://airindiasuck.blogspot.c om/ to share your opinion. This april I finally did the unthinkable,I decided to travel via air india from LAX to DELHI. I had a 1 year...

Pros: Comfort, Service, Timeliness, Price
Cons: Entertainment still has a few kinks

I have traveled on this route 4 times this year. This is a near perfect experience when compared to any American airline and all European carriers. The non-stop travel allows for a meal, a restful nights sleep, 3-4 hours of work and you are there! ...

Pros: Food Newer plane Service You can check your bags a day ahead at Mumbai airport
Cons: The line is too long when you are checking your luggage in at Newark airport

We recently traveled by Air India from Newark to Mumbai and back. I was travelling with my wife and two kids (6 and 2 year old). Both the departing and return flights had a stop over in Paris for re-fueling (we didn't have to get down). I primarily chose ...

Pros: decent food
Cons: everything else, worst customer service ever

Over Christmas my parents were going to India with my brother and I wasn't included in the plans. However, two days before they left, they changed their minds and said that I would have to come for a week. At this late time, the only airline that was ...

Pros: The non-stop flight plane was new and clean; servers were helpful and polite.
Cons: If you don't like Indian food, you'll not enjoy the meals or snacks.

Despite some horror stories such as some posted here, we chose Air India primarily because it was the least expensive, and offered a "New" Nonstop service from NY to Bombay. This was our first (and hopefully last, nothing to do with the airline, though) ...

Pros: Cheaper airfare.
Cons: Poor customer service. Unmanageable over the phone/online paper ticket. Poor in-flight entertainment.

I've only flown Air India once so my opinion could be bias. It will be a first and last experience. Here's why. I've had a bad experience with Air India I'd like to share to you who may be considering to fly Air India or considering to buy an air ...

Pros: Appears $50 - $100 / ticket cheaper initially
Cons: Delays, and plain “don’t care” attitude made it the most expensive segments

The Air India office staff is definitely polite! But unable to move beyond their inertia! Buying tickets directly from Air India offices does not help for this reason. The only people who seem to know the requirements and processes are the people ...

Pros: There is nothing good about business class on Air india. Its waste of your money.
Cons: Evrything, except genuine Indian touch :-)

Travelled from Chicago to Mumbai on Nov 25th 2007 by Business class. Worst airport lounge for Business class in Chciago, bad and dirty sofas, only peanuts served and no fresh coffee nor tea. Old and outdated cabins for Business class, and dirty seats. ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Everything. Avoid this airline.

I flew to Germany on Halloween night and, perhaps fittingly, it was a nightmare. Never, ever, EVER fly on Air India. When I got on the plane, the first thing I saw were the torn carpets. Not a good sign. When I got into business class, the first thing I ...

Pros: None
Cons: Everything from food to inflight entertainment

I flew Air India (AI 112) two days back for my vacation in Delhi from JFK New York. I must say its a worst Airlines I have ever flown with. My nightmare began when I reached the Air India gate at JFK airport. Visiting home after almost ...
