Really bummed about the “no window” ideology that’s become ingrained in todays flying culture. Looking out the window has always been my favorite part of flying.
The only enjoyable thing about flying.
It sucks but the reason is because that flight was flying over questionable airspace... Russia, Ukraine, active war zone. So you really don't want your location beaming with lights in a clear sky with a crazy Russian sending up a missile 😬
@@TheUpHighGuy Yeah but there were hundreds of miles north of any war zone and it was during the day. I guess there could be some internal memo for Air India pilots to darken the windows while flying across Russia regardless of any mitigating circumstances, but definitely pointless in this case. If Russia wants to shoot you down they don’t need passenger windows open to help do it.
@@TheUpHighGuy As someone who has worked on the pointy end of both ground to air missile, your assertion is completely wrong. You wouldn't see a plane window at night, and you wouldn't care. Lock it up with whatever acquisition means you have, fire, boom.
Same! but I grew up into a sleepy person who likes to shut the window, so as courtesy I take the aisle, and leave the window to someone who likes it. If I get the window it will be closed the entire flight, so better let someone else have it so they have fun
I had an Air India experience I'll never forget. I was flying business class between the US and India. Halfway through the flight, I wanted to go to the bathroom, there were two bathrooms at the front and back. Now I didn't know the front one was for first class passengers, I mean it wouldn't have mattered to me either way if I had to use the one behind me. So I get up and this guy attendant asks me what I'm doing and I just point to the bathroom and say I wanna go to the bathroom. He looks at me, narrows his eyes, gives me a growling and threatening look and through clenched teeth growls "Nootttt Heerrrreee" exactly with that speed as if I'm trying to steal some bathroom experience from him instead of saying "Oh I'm sorry sir, this one is for first class passengers, please use the one over there reserved for business class passengers". First I was puzzled, then eventually I realized why he was saying no, and just shrugged it off. I mean if they treat someone paying business class airfare like that, what else is there to say.
Embarrassing AF. Looks like seriously shitty service.
It is a hit or a miss man. I got growled on the SFO-DEL sector where I was on biz and tried to go back to the econ cabin to say hi to a friend. And once, I was on econ and tried to do the same (a different acquaintance) who was in biz and I was in econ, they were nice enough to even let me sit beside him for a couple of hours and provided me with a biz meal ! So, yeah the lack of uniformity is what is AI. I think it’s true for bloody any Indian carrier - it can be gold or pure trash !
@@srijitmukherjee1038 that’s true for ANY carrier across the globe and not just the “bloody” Indian carriers. Get over your own idiotic racial biases first!
@@srijitmukherjee1038 The only reason we fly on them because they are rather "direct" both flight-wise (US-India) and "their" courtesies, everything else is a bonus if it "works" . Lets see it was "Sarkari" all this time
Indians in a nutshell, really rude. Wel except for my Indian friends.
Dude even Indians hate Air India. Almost all our comedians have dunked on them, it's easy to get laughs roasting AI.
I think it's how most of us feel about our national airlines. I'm a born and bred Londoner who has lived in Australia for over 30 years. British Airways and Qantas are near the bottom of my list of preferred airlines - mostly due to their snotty cabin staff. I swear I am the world's most low maintenance airline passenger (just get me safely to my destination & I'll love you forever). I remember flying BA from London to New York and I was beyond excited. When the drinks trolley turned up I asked for a glass of Champagne - I was quite happy to pay for it. I was snottily informed by the hostie that they only served Champagne in first class. That just about sums up how BA cabin staff feel about economy class passengers.
@@SuzyQ334 I’m American-English-German, and I like British Airways, and Virgin Airways too (both British airlines). American Airlines, in fact, all American ones, are highly mediocre. Lufthansa (German airline) is okay - I used to fly them a lot, but haven’t in years. But yeah, I would say that of all the airways I’ve flown as a global traveller, I prefer to choose Virgin over any others. That being said, I’d love to fly one of the Middle Eastern airlines (like Etihad or something) because they sound like really great experiences, but I tend to factor in cost when I’m flying, and they’re quite expensive.
That’s how us Americans feel about American Airlines
Just a case of the grass is always green. Like this clown above saying BA and quantas are low down 😂 go get on one of these flights and get back to us with you opinion on quantas and ba 😂 snooty rich fool
@@Sub-Zero. No, spirit is our national airline
“Its gonna be a good flight this one I can feel it in me bones” yeah that escalated quickly 😂
You can say that again 😅
I'm surprised more Indians haven't been triggered in the comments. Normally they get super triggered whenever you say anything negative about them
😀
@@peace.be.upon.you.because there’s no internet in india
Imagine paying 1800 and getting stared with scolding eyes when you ask for water because you interrupted the attendant to ask them to do their job
1800 ain't diddly squat, if you're buying coach class and traveling for 14 hours
I have a friend who’s a Firefighter and they get pissed off when they get woken up from sleeping on the job to answer a call. Holly crap now that’s what I call entitled!
I would have asked for some cleaning solution and paper towels too. Looked so dirty. Yuk.
Imagine believing that's what happened
Thats Indians for ya!
Technical delays are always better on the ground than in the air
Word.
True that
U don’t want to hear the words “technical difficulty” while in air 😂
Absolutely
"A delay is better than a disaster" - Fortune cookie shown in 'Sully'
YOU can light UP the windows.
Second USB NORMALLY WORKS
Strange that the cabin crew wouldn't be more attentive knowing you were filming your experience. The fact they even tried to forbade it was telling in itself.
Indian media is teaching its public to be 'eternally confident in their size" so now no one needs to care or bother about anything. 😂
cabin crew dont care as they are govt employees and cant be fired. just like your useless uk govt employees🤣
forbid
they will not working hour basics like you so they not attentive prince
@@mvinay9776 Could you put that in English?
I've flown a few trashy airlines before. I always felt grateful to land alive. If an airline isn't doing maintenance on the inside of airplane, are they doing regular maintenance on the outside? Thanks for the video.
I totally agree with you @thomascarney3213. I consider myself a seriously low maintenance passenger. All I require when I step onto a plane is that the pilots have the skill and the will to get me safely to my destination - which also means the plane is properly maintained by the airline. For me anything above and beyond is a bonus. Air India seems like an unnecessary risk to me.
Can’t understand why some airlines have this obsession with dimming the windows for no particular reason. It’s really irritating. I find it so relaxing to look out the window on a flight, even when it’s only a view of the top of a layer of clouds.
It’s setting the mood , based on the current time of the arriving destination 😊 - Which is getting used to the arriving location timings . Dreamliner is specifically designed for long haul and so is the central control.
@@nusireddy142 That’s my understanding too but frankly I find it rather annoying. 👎🏻 Would rather use my own judgement vs airline staff to tell me when I can and cannot look out the window on a 787. 🚫 Cheers.
It’s done to save on air conditioning.
It's done as as a safety reason.True.Reason is your eyes will adapt to the darker cabin and in event of a crash you can exit the aircraft faster.
That's why they do it and it's Mandatory Requirement.
@@bradowen761 dude, it was a joke.
I mean, I find the original comment quite funny.
Why would the crew dim the windows? Isn’t it obvious that it is done to avoid direct sunlight and make the cabin more comfortable?
Boeing gave a switch to each seat so people can dim if they want, but more airlines are now locking the window features for all seats and controlling it themselves for everyone.
This already caused some anger among flyers in the US.
$1,885 for that flight? Disgraceful. And airlines should stop controlling window views - other than during landings and takeoffs. There’s a reason people want to fly during the day and sit by the window. And it’s not so the crews can darken the cabin so they can goof off in the galleys. How about deep cleaning your filthy planes, by the way?
Well said, absolutely.
1885 but it was business class? Wonder how much coach was
Yeah, leave my fucking window alone!
$1885 for a business class flight one way is about right actually. If not a good deal even.
Why should they even control the windows during takeoffs and landings? That's the time when people would want to see out of them the most.
18:38 I was SO ANGRY with the staff on board who forced me to keep the window shades down as we flew over the Himalayas. That was my first opportunity to see this magnificent mountain range so I specifically chose a window seat so I could see it but was denied because apparently the sun was shining on all the video screens so the shades had to be closed. FK them!
Why do they do it? I don’t understand why? Like shouldn’t people be able to see out the windows? I didn’t even know airlines could manipulate the windows like that
If it affects other flyers, what can you do? If the Pilot or 2nd Officer advised everyone “that if they looked out their Window they could see the Himalayas” then everyone who wanted to, could have a look. Then put the blind down so as not to affect other flyers. In the end you can’t please everyone, I was flying First class from Western Canada to London Heathrow and the Woman in the Pod behind me decided to put her overhead light on when the entire Cabin was sleeping, I was awakened and two others were,and she did not care at all.
As an Indian unfortunately I had the same experience in 2020 when I was struggling to visit my ma who was in ICU. Terrible experience and then got stuck for 4 months because of the pandemic. I tried to connect with them by email, phone ,but no one helped. Then I paid a hand and foot to buy a ticket from Vande Bharat flight. Another horrible experience. Air India never returned the $400.00 from the previous two way flight I had paid for. Where as, other air lines returned the money to a few friends who were also traveling. Air India never responded to my emails.
My hard earned money, they just stole it from me.
I don't think I will ever support and buy another Air India ticket again.
Air India is only good for food. With Indians travelling in that and British Airways the planes smell of curry farts and sweat.
Its owned by the government, right? That would mean the oversight is fundamentally lacking since its the same "organization" (i.e. the government) basically just vetting its own "airline division".
Your friends may have a different experience even if they are also on a state-owned airline....just as long as it is from another nation, then that stat-owned airline can't make up their own rules in India like they can under their own government at home.
State-owned airlines are not necessary once a nation is large and prosperous enough to support a self-sustained (i.e. organic) airline industry....so hopefully the government appointees running the company will be ok with letting control go one day
@@SuperPhunThyme9it’s not owned by government anymore since 2022 or 23

@@sauravnayak5927guess this tata guy is so bad
It was a long time ago, but I once had a very bizarre flight on Air India. It was a 747, and once we reached altitude, water started dripping from the ceiling onto the passengers in several areas of the plane. The crew went around with blankets so people could cover up. Apparently there were inflatable life rafts stored in the ceiling of the plane, and these had just been removed and tested before our flight, and put back in place without being dried properly. The altitude cause the moisture to condense and start dripping.
That is f**** hilarious mate!
Omg
🤔🫢
That is crazy !
I was on a leaky Monarch flight once and made me quite nervous.

As an Indian I would love to thank you for this honest review. I have lived in Australia for the past 6 years and have taken Air India around the World on and off for the last decade. I have found Air India to have old aircrafts, dirty and dated cabins, questionable food, little or no selection of welcome drinks even in business class, unprofessional cabin and ground crew, laughable lounges that are often too crowded and with no service, dirty aircraft toilets and I feel like I can keep going. They have very strange rules and just not worth travelling with them.
wow..... just wow
It’s not Air India it’s Land India 🤦♂️
The Taj Exotica in Goa, India says differently ✨ - a solo travel female
It's funny how when white people trash you and your country you guys suck it up and agree, but when any other racial group, like Black and some Asian people do the same, you become extremely defensive and sometimes prejudiced and discriminatory against these ppl. Why you ppl can genuflect to white people so much is beyond logic and comprehension.
Thank you for this! I’ve always wanted to go to India. Now I know not to use Air India when I do so!
My first Air India experience also started out of Delhi. I can only say that I would never ever schedule a long stopover in Delhi or on Air India ever ever again as a solo woman traveller. Even if transiting, you're required to go outside of the airport and come back in again - cue being accosted by taxi drivers nonstop like in your video. Then if you have an overnight/red eye flight, the airport is covered in male passengers randomly sleeping on the ground in every corner and direction around the gates. It just felt wildly strange and unsafe and I could not rest for one moment in such an environment. All of the women began to cluster or group together for safety in a very well lit area. And then I got onto my plane.... It was not better. It was the most run-down plane I had ever been in. However, I did get to sit next to some female indian engineers on the plane and they were very cool.
You were wise to seek out other women. Indian men are sex pests. Avoid them in groups.
What were you soo afraid of ???

When areas of the cabin are dirty and in disrepair (especially in business class and on a quite new airplane), it of course makes me wonder how the rest of the plane (in the areas passengers don't get to see) is kept and maintained.
Air India's 787s average 8 years old, the oldest are over 10. That's far from "quite new" and plenty of time for wear and tear. No excuse for it not being attended to though but seats can break at any time. Airliners get a lot of hard use.
It's INDIA. They do NOT care.
@@simprove Wow a whole 10 years!? 10 years old doesn't mean it's'okay to be disgusting. 8:12 He took a whole 3sec to clean something that's probably been disgusting for years but the airline couldn't be bothered. The state of this plane is due to laziness not age.
@@cheesefries7436 @skyhawk_452 said it was quite new. I merely pointed out there was nothing "quite new" about it. I didn't say the state of it was acceptable, as you would know if you'd read my comment properly, but whatever the reason is it won't be laziness.
@Billy The Goat I've flown on Air India (economy) a few times. Long haul in the 787 was good, everything worked, service and food were great and there certainly was no hygiene problem. Internal flights weren't so great but that's down to the heavy use the aircraft get. I've been on flights in the US where the state of the cabin was no better than Noel's description of this flight and service was appallingly.
Air India 32 years ago, 747 from Heathrow to Mumbai. The toilets were overflowing with wee and other delightful particles, actually running down the aisles. The smell was disgusting. The flight crew blamed a group of Indians that did not wish to use a modern toilet. Since then I carried the plastic bag type shoe protectors that police use at crime scenes. I'm slowly catching up with your back catalogue. 👍
They use the toilets as squat toilets 🤣
Diversity is our strength. Keep repeating that.
God help us. The whole aircraft seems like a crime scene 😮
India is overall very diverse from inside The crowd, chaos which you see is just a tiny part of that with the rest of the parts being completely difference For example you can experience a silent forest trek in Himalayan mountains with old buddhist monasteries if you go to Northeast india, you can see a version of Tibet in Ladakh, you can see a natural retreat in the mountain valley in Himachal Pradesh You can experience a typical seaside beach in Goa, you can experience the beauty of tropical backwaters in Kerala and a old European town vibe in the city of Kochi You can be amazed to see the flora and fauna of Ooty a hill station in South India + mountain railway ride in Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh Moreover you can even experience snowfall in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh Better watch the travel vlogs of India made by american, british youtubers like Ride with Gabi, Those happy days, Dannys Gotta world loose!!!! There is a lot of propaganda in youtube these days against China, IndiaActually India is the fastest growing economic power currently earlier it was China!!!
Poverty is currently shrinking rapidly as more and more Indians are entering middle class category!
India has the fastest growing middle class and currently India is in its transition phase something which China faced in 1990s, South Korea in 1970s!
Comparing an emerging typical Asian economic powerhouse with a backward Islamic Middle Eastern hellhole is ridiculous
I'm an expat Londoner who has lived in Sydney, Oz, for over 30 years. I love my adopted country but the feeling of joy when the plane descends towards Heathrow after 26 hours travelling is indescribably lovely. Happy Friday one and all.
Heathrow is a miserable airport.
I feel the same way when I land in Detroit after a long flight
@@HipixOFFICIALI think they meant the feeling of landing "at home" is what was lovely.
“Taxi to London?” 😂

I once had a flight with air India, entire row of entertainment systems was broken, my seatbelt fell off the seat, all the overhead lockers kept opening during takeoff landing and literally any sort of turbulence. The only that was good was the tea, everything else was just horrible. Not to mention the seat we payed to get was refused to us and we got stuck in seat with less legroom
Thank you guys for all these reviews. I will never use Air India, and probably would have if it wasn’t for you, as everyone says I should visit!
i recently flew air india on a four flight and there was absolutely no entertainment system or even a newspaper or magazine. terrible flight
😂🤭 oh my I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 a nation still struggling as a developing state but you might want to visit our country and fly out national carrier Philippine airlines or PAL
I thought KLM was the only one that did that. Paying for extra legroom only to be told to move for another passenger!!
The *SEATBELT wasn't attached‽* Holy fuck, whoever is in that seat is instantly dead the moment the cabin loses pressurisation.
And this is why, I avoid Air India at all costs,even if it means taking a longer/connecting or a much more expensive flight (I'm Indian). Hopefully Tata takeover can fix this mess in a couple of years.
Bro I feel you, if there is any alternative I take it! I live in India and I had insane things happening with AI, e.g. a flight got rescheduled 36h only 48h before the flight and the only intimation was a cryptic SMS. Case is still on with Flightright. I had to return to India during pandemic when foreign nationals were only allowed to fly in directly from their countries and not via UAE, so had no other choice. When they stopped both AI and LH flights due to some argument over how many flights each airline was allowed to operate, I got first my LH flight canceled, not knowing why booked AI and they also canceled the same day. Got refund from LH within 3 days, from AI only after 2 years after a long fight and only because a friend knew someone in high rank at AI
The reason the engine was started before you got off the gate was because the APU was probably not working. That is why the plane was so hot and why it when dark, the ground staff probably pulled the gate power and everything shut down because the APU failed. The engine start at the gate allowed them to have electric power on the ground while being pushed back before they got to the place on the apron where they would normally start the engines and turn off the APU. Engines are started far from the gate for safety reasons to protect the ground crew from getting sucked into one.
The APU is als used in emergencies for engine failure, so if you are correct that’s hilarious that they would leave with such a defect
well, what Indians consider "new"
Well said
Probably it was too way hot outside that caused apu's hydraulic Rubber seals to worn out. Thus losing oil pressure in the apu unit, leading into fault
@@AndreCarryonIf the APU failed from broken seals, it was lack of maintenance not hot weather. Planes fly in hot places all the time and things don’t break.
I’d be so disappointed to have a window seat where I couldn’t look out when I wanted to. For me it’s the best thing about flying.
I would demand a.refund. If i pay for a window seat, I better be able to look out of it at will.
You can still look out, which is why this is preferred than other windows. On flights with shades I get annoyed when they ask you to close the blind.
@@BarnaliD .......EXACTLY!
@@stevecarroll6760nah, when the cabin is mimicking night time, it’s obnoxious when passengers open the blinds
Back in the year 2000, I flew Air India economy class to New York - my partner and I still regale friends with the many horror stories from that return trip - so bad it was comical.
I had a similar horror story with Jet Airways just before it went bust in 2017 or 2016. They are back again - I certainly wont be flying with either airline.
There are many comical things in western countries too
so they've been terrible since the beginning? and people say Frontier is bad. This airline makes Frontier seem like a top-tier option.
@@hesh2892 I don't think people's experiences on India's national airline reflect how most of us feel about India and its people. I'm English and British Airways is bottom of my list of airlines due to its ancient planes and rude staff. But I'm still a proud Londoner.

I'm guessing that you haven't flown Avianca. Same experience with no wine and a tiny box lunch with a cold cheese sandwich. And yes, I too had to go to the relaxing flight attendants for a begrudgingly provided 1/2 bottle of water.
And this guy is seated in a business class seat; it makes me wonder what the economy is like.
I recently had the opposite experience with flight attendants who were way too attentive. It was in Polaris Class(United) on a TPAC flight. During the 12-hour flight, whenever I was awake, the very nice flight attendant came to my seat every 15 to 30 minutes with drinks and snacks. It was almost exactly like when I was 7 and my grandparents tried to stuff me with candies and treats. At the end of the flight, I must have gained 5 pounds. :)
😂😂😂
Based on your flight path shown on the map, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but those mountains were not the Himalayas, which are further east. Those were the Pamir mountains of Afghanistan and Tajikistan, also one of the highest mountain ranges in the world (they just don't reach 8000 metres above sea level, they reach a "mere" 7000+ metres...).

An engine start at the gate usually means an air start (air start truck) because the APU isnt working so cant turn over the engine to start. When the power went out, means probably a faulty APU.

That's because Indians have given up their original culture which really had high standards of hygiene, which modern Indians don't even know about. And the Mughals and the British brought their own culture and showed it as superior to that of India. British eat meat like bacon and pork in the morning without bathing or even brushing teeth, and might have tapeworms in their intestines. Is that hygiene? And you wipe up with a piece of paper and leave after the business with no anal hygiene. Externally you may look polished with a suit and a necktie, but is this civilized behaviour?
I can't believe that you don't have in your backpack antibacterial or Clorox wipes. My son & I both got bird flu about 12 years ago and since then I carry packs of bleach wipes to clean up our seats and around us plus the bathroom. (One flight, a little girl refused to use the toilet on a flight so her Mom let me go in before them, I clean the bathroom as best I could, then I showed the little girl after I was done. She darted into the bathroom after I showed her - and she could smell it was cleaner) I carry the hand wipes for our hands. I'm Ms Paranoid about germs.
I always bring a small package of wet wipes wherever I go, even before the pandemic.
Some of the aircraft are being slowly sent to Singapore for complete cabin refreshes.. I heard that they were completely ignored for interior issues but suddenly a week ago all the aircraft were inspected and were found to be severly lacking.. It will take time for the interiors to be refreshed but the bigger problem will be with the staff and their attitudes..
Which seat and IFE are they opting for? Also will the cabin aesthetics be on par with Qatar Airways and Emirates considering they are trying to build a world class product?
I flew VT-ANS from CDG a few days back. The interiors were shambles but the service was fantastic (esp. the food).
@@amishagarwal3151 I heard it may be the seating from the 2 newer 777's that were converted to VIP aircraft...77W VT-ALS flew to Singapore about 5 days ago for cabin refurbishment.
@@amishagarwal3151 world class product? You’re being generous. Air India has to repair its reputation back home first and then try to compete in the region with Emirates and Qatar.
@@JeanClaudeCOCOAir India was a government owned airliner, which has now been bought back by the Tata Group (since the original founder of Air India was J.R.D. Tata before the government took it from him). Since Air India is getting privatised and the Tata Group already has experience running Vistara and AirAsia India, Air India's reputation can be built back up. They just have to fire all the staff and employees with a mindset of working at a government setting and poach experienced employees from world class private airline carriers to propel the airliner to world class standards of service, maintenance and experience. But... then again having worked with the Tatas (as one of my clients) I can say that the predominantly old management are trying their level best to keep up with the radically shifting new management styles of this era and generation. And... they are not doing a great job at that. Hence it is difficult to say... Fingers crossed I hope?
Your experience, this flight, food everything is like 10 times better than my experience of flying from Mumbai to Atlanta with Delta ! It was a nightmare . Dirty seats, stinky toilets , bad food ,pathetic service ! This one looks amazing in front of that 😂
I'm looking forward to the day when we see a flight entirely full of youtubers filming it and each other.
The way the food was served and presented looked very much like how food are served in the economy class of most airlines. It is time that Air India bought their inflight service up to speed.
@Billy The Goat Air India had bad service from the beginning that is why now it has become a failed airline.
Actually the Indian government had offered Air India for sale to anyone, but nobody wanted to buy this "AWFUL" airliner. So they are stuck with it.
@@giyanvice the airline was sold to the Tata Group six months ago.
People have been saying that for decades. Airline is dogshit.
@@giyanvice hahahahaha
It was a government run enterprise in India !! This is how things are in government run anything in India.
But recently the entire airline was sold off to one of the best business conglomerate in India called Tatas. We are hoping things will improve soon.
Thanks for honestly sharing the Air India, not so Business class flight experience.
After watching this video, I will never fly Air India.
Once, I went on vacation to India with family. Our luggage didn’t arrive at Mumbai airport. A Security guard suggested to look for it myself. He even opened the door to the runway for me. I walked up to the plane when it was dark at night and heavy rain. At least the guard was right, my luggage was sitting on the ground. Dragged 5 suitcases, one at a time, into the baggage area. You can have an idea about their airport security.
Funniest thing I have read in a long time!
Always provide them feedback.
At least he was right and you got your luggage before you left the airport
f'king hell!
I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the heads up.
Good to see two of my favorite airline reviewers meet up. Such an awesome moment.
Glad you enjoyed it!

At least the technical problem was found at the gate! The last time I flew Air India was years ago and during the takeoff roll out of Delhi, the pilots performed 2 rejected takeoffs and returned to the gate for a 6 hour delay before we took off. No announcements were made about what had gone wrong though...
Wow! You were brave to continue with that pathetic airline and that particular flight. I would have unloaded my bags and flown with someone else. Yeah, the communication part is not their strong point. Pathetic to be accurate.
They view you as the helpless traveler who is just trying to get from point A to B with no regard for your comfort level or well being. That is what separates the good airlines from the ones that should not be operating.
@@ronb1057 I'd rather go by a rocky bus with the bare minimum of a suspension than air India. Seriously. It's an exaggeration but you know what I mean
you must be a very brave person to have continued the travel on a dangerous plane
I once flew from Mumbai to Delhi by Air India. The flight from Mumbai finally took off 14 HOURS later, and during all of that we were stuck on uncomfortable chairs in the lounge for an entire night. Not even a single word of apology, and certainly not even a simple offer of a cup of tea or a snack. Pathetic.

It is unfortunate you had to endure this, Noel. Hopefully, witht he new leased Delta aircraft on several routes, and Tata's ownership, Air India is about to turn a leaf for better!
TATA is no more the family group it was... They have expanded too much... Put their hands into various business.... That their HR should be the worst department starting from the dept... Especially in Airline and Hospitality industry... Both their Airline and Hotels which was once their pride under TATA.... Is now like a glorified Dhaba joint... The complete mgt and staff overall are I guess not from any premium institutions... And are either recommended or pass outs from B OR C grade colleges or dime a dozen MBA programs.... Half or most can't pronounce and poor in language delivery... Unprofessional and don't really know the meaning of Hospitality.... Most are arrogant and have massive attitude issues... How they get such jobs beats my imagination after experiencing the ground and flight crew...or their staff and mgt at their Taj group Hotels... I think the Oberoi Group are the best in India for Hospitality... If they had an airline they would be no 1 as well.. Old is Gold.. TATA under TATA and his predecessor were the best years. .for every person in the group.. Staff or manager were of Quality... They loved their jobs... Because the owners from the top cared for human relations to every single customer... Like a family... This present lot are a poor lot in attitude... Training and efficiency....
lol why would you expect anything that comes out of India to be clean?
India is overall very diverse from inside The crowd, chaos which you see is just a tiny part of that with the rest of the parts being completely difference For example you can experience a silent forest trek in Himalayan mountains with old buddhist monasteries if you go to Northeast india, you can see a version of Tibet in Ladakh, you can see a natural retreat in the mountain valley in Himachal Pradesh You can experience a typical seaside beach in Goa, you can experience the beauty of tropical backwaters in Kerala and a old European town vibe in the city of Kochi You can be amazed to see the flora and fauna of Ooty a hill station in South India + mountain railway ride in Darjeeling, Himachal Pradesh Moreover you can even experience snowfall in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh Better watch the travel vlogs of India made by american, british youtubers like Ride with Gabi, Those happy days, Dannys Gotta world loose!!!! There is a lot of propaganda in youtube these days against China, IndiaActually India is the fastest growing economic power currently earlier it was China!!!
Poverty is currently shrinking rapidly as more and more Indians are entering middle class category!
India has the fastest growing middle class and currently India is in its transition phase something which China faced in 1990s, South Korea in 1970s!
Comparing an emerging typical Asian economic powerhouse with a backward Islamic Middle Eastern hellhole is ridiculous
😂😂😂😂 true
I've had the displeasure of knowing a few Air India employees. They're full of themselves, arrogant, huge sense of entitlement, smug in the knowledge that no matter what happens their jobs are secure (this was true until Air India was privatised - hopefully they no longer have this ridiculous sense of security), highly unionized, highly political and prone to threatening the management, crafty tactics about how to stiff the management and skirt the law, and rude as hell. The shabby aircraft are merely a reflection of their shabby attitudes and the general fatalistic/corrupt mindset that pervades the country itself. Hopefully the Tatas will turn this airline around and restore it to its old glory, but with thousands of dinosaurs working for it and everything in India subject to political whims that will be a challenge.
Nothing seems to have improved much since i flew with AI around 20 years ago. The cabin crew then were sullen and indifferent, verging on rude. Entirely different from BA. If anything, the one time I flew with them in business, they may even have been a fraction better.
What about the Aging menopausal stewardesses and shabby treatment of natives.
If you play the Englis Sahib in Rome the Italians will do you,three cheers for the AI staff.
T here is Always Room for Improvement!!
Aging stewardesses on BA
@@sudhirchopde3334 The older cabin crew tend to be very competent. They're not there so you can ogle them you know.
@@sudhirchopde3334 Misogynist much ?
I had cause to fly to India seven years ago (business class as well, as it happens). When planning the flights, Air India seemed the obvious choice but after reading a few reviews I dumped that idea and went BA. Looks like I definately made the right choice!
Have to agree about the presentation of Indira Gandhi Airport though - clean and easy to navigate. You failed to mention the travalators that go on for ever! I also have to say that immigration was a dream - I was called up to the desk and presented my visa. The gentleman at the desk ran his finger down a list of numbers, found mine, gave me a really welcoming smile and hammered a big blue entry stamp into my passport. That was it - done.
I appreciate the honest review, much more preferable than the typical 'permanent grin for views' type. If you know what I mean.
Subscribed.
Being stuck on a hot airplane is my worst nightmare. Would make me feel wicked unsafe to fly It as well. I’m in awe of people who can remain calm in these situations.
Just know that the pilot won't risk his life if he thinks it's unsafe.
So that's how I stay calm 😂
Being stuck on a hot plane happened to me once. Indeed, it made me feel wickedly unsafe. I lost it during the flight.
@@AristoCat221Once you read enough airlines vlogs here, unfortunately you'll find out how many pilots are out there flying planes they know are unsafe. Now .... I don't know why they fly those planes. But they fly them.
I lose it on a normal flight in the US. I wouldn’t get on a plane like this for love or money.
@@yasminbarry7941u would be surprised how many pilots have mid air instrument failures but they are trained enough to handle it without much hitch
I’m fairly certain there are more planes flying out there with instruments and defects than a proper working one
It's sad how one of the best airlines in the world turned into a typical Indian government organization. No cleanliness, no sense of punctuality, responsibility, nothing. Never should've taken it from the Tatas, and I'm glad its gone back to them. Government is hopeless, made the national airline trashier than a few low cost private airlines.
yes, thanks to the corrupt UPA government, our national airline was looted in such a way that it has become a white elephant to run. The TATAs takeover has brought good tidings for the carrier.
Yes, the government destroyed it. But Air India will hopefully come back better under Tata. Air India could soon have a huge order of A350s which will replace the outdated fleet.
Singapore Airlines consistently ranked as No. 1 in the world. none of the US Airlines or Air India ever made top 10.
@@willengel2458 What? Have you forgotten about Pan Am? They used to be the benchmark for the best. Now Delta and United are almost always in the top 10. Air India used to be top 5 back in the 60s until the late 80s, when everything began falling. It was the first airline with an all jet fleet. It was known for its exceptional service, advertisements and stole loads of customers from American and European airlines. People preferred Air India's slower propelled driven Lockheed Constellations over British Airway's jet DeHavilland Comets because of Air India's amazing inflight service. Singapore Airlines is number 1 now. They emulated everything they have from old Air India. It's fundamentals in operations and services are all from old Air India. Shows you what Air India could've been.
@@willengel2458 Air Brunei is better though.
Hi! I am an Indian by birth. Currently living in London for the past 4 years. Recently used Air India to go from Gatwick to Kochi. It was so terrible. I flew in economy. The food was shit. I thought the staff really tried their best, but not my best experience. Being a tall guy and the seat having no leg room and the flight being 11 hours long, it was just a overall horrible experience for me too. Will not fly Air India again for sure.
Was Air India much cheaper though than a western airline? If you are paying roughly the same price, it is shameful service from a company. Having said that, you can still get outstanding service from 5 star hotels in India, so it is possible to fix things, but not on Air India where it seems knowing someone important or your caste is how you get a job (the latter concept is bizarre to westerners). Or cheat if you are a pilot, which is really scary.
It is a pity, because a country the size of India should have a really good airline, maybe things will improve with TATA?
@@NinoNiemanThe1st It was actually more expensive. But, since it was a direct flight, I took it. All others had a layover over 6 hours...
Do y’all know this is an Airbus A350, NOT a 787?
@@alanjacob1488how tall are you

Fun to see the two of you together. Bro love and respect
Nice to see the two of you enjoying each other’s company! Sorry your flight was sun par.
There aren't enough negative superlatives that I can say about my experiences with Air India, from everything being broken, to dirty, to late. But about 3 years ago, I finally had enough. We had a AI 777 do an emergency landing in Germany (medical emergency) in the middle of the night. Everyone was asleep and the captain announces that after refueling we'll be up in the air in under 30 minutes. I look out my window and see my wing covered 85+% with a sheet of ice, likely from the rapid descent through the clouds. I look out at the other wing - Same thing. I tell a steward who is like, "Sir, that's very unlikely, it's summer." I drag him to a window, he looks out, his eyes widen, and he all but runs to the cabin. A few minutes later they announce departure will be delayed due to deicing. We were never "deiced" but sat on the tarmac for 3+ hrs watching the ice melt. Finally, after it did, we took off. At no point did I ever see either the captain or co-pilot outside doing a walk around. I think I maybe saved the lives of everyone on the plane that day. That was when I decided I was never again flying a non-US/UK (or non-El Al) flag carrier again.
That leaves a lot of safe airlines off your list.
That’s shocking! Well done for raising the alert. Scary to think they missed that and the consequences that could have happened. Also amazing that they thought icing couldn’t happen in summer!
@@newbris quite right. I perhaps should have said top-level carriers....
That was absolutely terrifying. Ice ruins the aerodynamics of an aircraft wing.
The Trip 7 has temp sensors all over the control surfaces that during config would have been going off like gang busters were there ice present. You just beat them to it, very observant and hats off to ya!! Anyhow, since the Trip 7 is a Boeing product in the first place......i trust you wore your parachute???
I was on a business trip with a co-worker and our Cathay Pacific flight was cancelled. I was rebooked on an Emirates A380 business class and my coworker was rebooked to an Air India 787 like this one. This aligns exactly with how he described the experience, really needs some work.
Our Air India flight was pretty good in 2017. We were on a Dreamliner, like you I didnt enjoy the window experience. The toilets were well used but clean enough. I think we paid approx £800 return to Delhi.
The opening scene made me laugh. It seems that the taxi drivers around the world have something in common: when they see you arriving to some place which is obviously your destination (usually just getting off another taxi), they hurry up to offer you a taxi ride. Remarkably, it often happens at the departure areas of the airports.
Love the Dreamliner, but controlling when you can ‘open’ your window is intolerable. Shame on air India for that nonsense
That's a feature of the 787 generally. If you actually flew often you would realise this.
@FeydRautha - ooh get you, frequent flyer. S
I flew Aeroflot in mid 1990s. Bald tires, caulking coming out of the windows, Seat in front broke and fell back onto me together with a large Russian. The pilot and some ground guys were working on the Engins before the flight. I was in the open window restaurant watching and feeling each hot blast of air hoping that wasn’t my plane, it was. Carpet in plane was falling to pieces or had been scraped through to metal. Some seat belts didn’t work. It was a Russian built aircraft that looked like a military conversion. Scary as hell.
Thank you all the plane flight content, nice watch someone flying since I am for sure afraid to fly and heights, but I get live through your adventures thanks
Hi Noel, I'm a recent viewer of your videos and become a convert. I'm currently watching all your back catalogue, time permitting, there's quite a few to view. Just wanted to thank you for allowing me to travel around the world with you via your great videos. 👍

Last time I flew out of Delhi with BA. We had endless issues with getting the passengers to sit down for take off. A very cross captain on the PA telling them to sit down or they would be removed from the flight. Have also flown with Aeroflot many moons ago. Terrifying to be honest.
🤣🤣 - I am trying to decide what would be worse - flying Air India or Aeroflot? TBH, I'd rather visit India than Russia.
@@SuzyQ334 brainwashed to the core. what to expect from you
I was about to book a flight to India from the US and after seeing this I can’t. ILL PASS 😂 awesome content mate! Cheers from Mexico
A year back air india was handled by direct indian government thats why service was below average, now its been handed over back to founder of Air india(TATA) and made privatization .. I hope they will correct these types or error and make air India one of the best in the world
Yu are saved!
When I worked with BA @ LHR the ground crews hated dealing with aircraft coming from the subcontinent. We also avoided any aircraft from there, even if was forwarding to another European airport.
Absolutely the worst airline in the world,by a million miles.
Its a shame how badly maintained even the newer air india flights are. I flew on the dreamliner economy back in 2015 only a few years after it was inducted into the airindia fleet and honestly it was buttery smooth. Everything from the cabin pressure, the temperature the entertainment system was great. Sad to see even the dreamliner has gone to shit.

Welcome aboard!
Flew Air India about 7 years ago in economy from Heathrow to New Dehli and return on the Dreamliner. May be I got lucky as it was clean, service was fine and the food was great. Before booking hadn't really looked in to them and was only after when telling people who we were flying with that we heard the horror stories. I get the feeling that there is a big difference between the domestic and international flights having spoken to the people we were staying with in Shimla.
You got lucky. It’s one of the worst airlines ever.
@yorkshirewanderer6176 If you were there at the back end of the monsoon season in 2016, chances are I was in Shimla at the same time, prepping to head up into the Spiti valley.
That was shocking, in almos every respect. Air India really need to up their game. I bet the inflight survey was also "data unavailable", too. Thanks for taking the pain on our behalf, Noel.
I also hate the crew controlled windows. The cabin always feels so much more confined when they are locked closed during daylight and they do provide eye shades for those with issues. One of the promoted features of the 787 is the extra large windows but not much point if they are darkened out is there. A means of crowd control to the crews advantage me thinks.
I really don't mind though. If that the decision of cruise, well we have just to cooperate. I know it would be frustrating for many people, and we want to enjoy the land at that altitude, but I guess each airlines have their thinking.
Anyways, the dream liner is still one of the best plane to fly.
I get claustrophobic when the shades are closed. If I can’t see out I start having panic attack.
"I'm not Sam- umm SOME other RUclipsr" had me laughing out loud lmao liked that
I can speculate that the reason the power went off. The Auxiliary Power Unit (that's the hole at the end of the tail of the 777 at 10:57) stopped working while the Ground Power Unit wasn't plugged in and running. It would explain why they'd start the engine at the gate. It is very common in the airline industry and is nothing to worry about.
As a matter of fact, I was once working on a Airbus A330, when the APU literally blew up. Much like your dreamliner in the video, we still ended up pushing out that flight and it arrived safely at it's location.
Thank you for being honest mate, I had a 15 hour flight to Delhi from San Francisco on a boeing 777 on Air India and it was a nightmare
I did Delhi to SFO four times on United before Russia closed its airspace. Economy was a nightmare. Premium economy was tolerable. And business class was amazing. Being able to lay down and sleep on a such a long flight is a game changer.
I am curious what they charge to fly to Thailand from UK or from Singapore?
I wonder what they charge to fly to Thailand from India?
@@michaelmitchell6629 From India it'd likely cost you around 95 dollars to travel to Thailand. There's Vietjet, which is an economy airline. If you've got more money to spare, you can always go with the more reputed airlines.
So true, I had a trip from Shanghai to Sydney via Delhi in 2018, the reason why I booked air India because that was really cheap, it was a nightmare that I could not forget in my entire life, next time when I went somewhere else I rather pay more for other airlines.
I like how they thought without the technical issues, your video was going to make the airline look any better.
That feeling of seeing your airport and gliding onto the runway! Sad the trip is over but so happy to be home!❤
