  • What's it like to fly long haul on India's BEST Airline, Vistara, in Business Class? Check out this 4k Trip Report & Honest Unsponsored Review on board this long haul flight to Paris on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner!
    Hi there! My Name is Kevin and today we will take a deep dive into the full Vistara Business Class experience.

Once on board we will of course take a very detailed look at the Business Class seats and all of the amenities that come along with it. We will also have two amazing meals and some incredible views along the way. All of this, followed up by The Flip Flop Score.

    This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

    After watching the video, my hopes are up for Air India. Still even vistara could do better. This video is the benchmark for reviews. The mild music was really nice. All points are checked. Thank you for visiting India and reviewing Indian carriers and we in India welcome you to be part of the journey of change that India is undergoing.

      Air India has a long long way to go. My wife took a San Fransisco - Delhi flight recently. Worst flight ever. 4 hour delay, chaos, and no water the last 4 hours of the flight. Broken seats and poor service. Return flight was canceled 2 days before departure. AI customer service non-existent. Booked her back on Singapore Air business class. And THAT is a benchmark of travel and service. Air India is a long way off. Too many issues to fix, and the culture really needs a complete revamp. I hope they get there soon, but they have to acknowledge that the current AI product is poor. I wish we had Vistara flying to the US.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +26

      @AmitSingh-hj2ee You answered your own comment there when you acknowledged that SQ is the benchmark. SQ would not be putting their name all over the new AI if they weren't confident in the plan that Tata and themselves had in the works. It's unreasonable to expect an airline that has deeply rooted hard product, soft product and operational issues to change overnight. It will take time, years perhaps- and that's ok.

    • @AmitSingh-hj2ee
      @AmitSingh-hj2ee Год назад +7

      @@tfft I have no doubt the AI product will be vastly improved in a few years. The problem right now is that AI has tried to ramp up very quickly esp to the US. They still charge a premium for the non stop connections without the service required to keep up with SQ and EK etc. I emailed their CEO and to his credit, he responded acknowledging that they are going to cut back on flights because of crew and pilot issues. I was hoping that a year is long enough to start a culture change but still a long way away. Rot has set in and it will take time. They can start with acknowledging that.
      But it can be done. Your vistaar video is proof. Excellent videos and I will keep watching. Thanks

      Josh Cahill and Sam Chui are the worst. I remember Josh on a domestic India flight complaining about seat cleanliness and then when the meal was served, he removed the lid of the hot main dish with all the gravy and condensation on the underneath and placed it in the seat pocket where the magazines and sickness bag was. Who does that?! He clearly doesn't get irony!

      TATA was paid big bucks for a losing airline. Tata had just 3 airplanes, VT-CQP : Malabar Princess, VT-CQR : Rajput Princess, VT-CQS : Mughal Princess, of which Malabar princess crashed in the Alps in 1952. Tata was in dire straits and the Govt literally bailed them out by paying them Rs 2.5 crores in 1953. The huge growth of Air India happened after this. Its only after 1990 - 2000 that Air India became a loss making entity.

    Man, so much of finesse and genuine information in your videos, I truly doubt if there is any indian RUclipsr, who carries so much heavy data..and more so, you don't have any sponsored content. I truly don't know why you have a low subscriber base, mediocre and below standard RUclips channels command subscriber base running into thousands and sometimes millions. You surely deserve better, bro. Keep going....

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад

      Thanks very much. I can easily explain... shock/negative content is what attracts the most views and subscribers in this genre. Even on my channel, my most viewed video (for now) was a negative review. This is no secret and is precisely why you see so many travel related channels with a constant negative tone or click bait titles. There is also space for balanced content here, but of course it takes longer to build the subscriber base- but that's ok. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

  • @amodbhanushali
    @amodbhanushali Год назад +23

    Hi Kevin, I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago after one of your Air India videos and have been eagerly waiting for this review.
    I'm travelling to CDG on Vistara business class in August and really wanted to know what they're like on their international routes. You're probably the first and only flight reviewer who has actually has a really well made and informative video about Vistara's business class rather than the other half baked videos that are just uselessly taking up space on RUclips servers.
    A slightly daft question I had was, did your ticket itself allow you AI lounge access (the Vistara website says otherwise) or was it elite status you hold with a Star Alliance airline that gave you access to the AI lounge?
    Wishing you the best for your future videos! Hope your channel grows and gets the subscribers it deserves!

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +6

      Thanks very much for that. For the lounge, it was (surprisingly) included with the ticket. Since Vistara isn’t Star Alliance, having status with them wouldn’t have gotten me access. My guess is Vistara used to use a different contract lounge but Tata realized there was no sense to pay for that when the AI lounge now belonged to them lol. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

    You certainly have an advantage to provide honest, unbiased, and non sponsored content because you are incognito on your channel, Airlines are usually tipped off by a booking of a flight reviewer because their name is well known.

      I decided to be as anonymous as possible way back during my 1st trip to Thailand (for the channel) in 2021. In one day, I saw two very prominent RUclipsrs (separately) on the street/train in Bangkok. Both have over 400k subscribers and it made me realize how easy it would be to receive special treatment if I started to show my face. I have realized that to keep this channel relevant for years to come, I'll eventually need to 'remove the mask', but for now- I'm sticking with it!

    Last week, the Tatas announced that Vistara's operating procedures will be adopted by Air India so those fearing the worst in the merger can breathe easy. Tata's are not messing around. They founded Air India after all before it was nationalized. I have every reason to believe they will get it right with the merger. Looking forward to a world-class Air India from 2025 onward.

    Great review Kevin. I'm becoming a fan of your videos. I knew you would give us an in-depth review of this trip. Just FYI, what was sitting on the paratha during dinner which you referred to as "crisps" are not actually crisps. They are mini papadams (as opposed to the regular full size ones). These are often eaten with rice/curry dishes by taking bites in between individual rice servings. Common within South Asia.
