Hi everyone, thank you for watching! How do you find the length of my latest flight reviews? Do you think I should spend less time on introducing the airport and showing the lounge? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 😊
HONESTLY, This is the first time at least 1 vlogger introduce so well to airport and lounges, Air India old days are gone, it will be in the top 10 airlines soon. Like your videos.
Thank you I have recovered 😊 But actually, this video was filmed in March. I had planned to publish it two weeks ago, but I decided to prioritise the Biman drama (which occurred on June 17). So, instead of uploading this video back then, I uploaded the Biman video. 😅
@@RoryDingplease visit Bangladesh... Use us- bangla airlines. I am sad you faced such bad attitude from Bangladesh country people. Not all Bangladeshis are bad I hope you do visit Bangladesh one day
The service/food/cleanliness has been drastically improved since the takeover by Tata and once the interiors get refitted with the 1-2-1 (all seats with aisle access) configuration then Air India will really compete with the likes of Qatar, Emirates, Singapore the other Middle East and Asian carriers. Air India is well and truly back or lets say the Maharaja is back. Namaste!!!
@@daniyalbbd5281are you illiterate or something else?????, Their is no comparison between Indian airlines and poor bankrupt Pakistan airlines, Why you beggars always compare yourself with India, don't you feel ashamed????, It's like comparing sun with Mars, Go and check your knowledge properly you illiterate, Indian aviation sector is 50 Times better and larger than poor Pakistan, in terms of quality and quantity both, You have only one proper airlines and that is Pia, and India have many, if you want to compare your poor and dirty stuff airlines then you should compare with spirit airlines 😂😂😂
@@daniyalbbd5281from next time don't compare your shit poor Pakistan with India, it's annoying, you guys are full of jealous, Don't be jealous work like India did to become what they are today and this is possible when you Pakistanis will stop supporting terrorism, isl@mic radicals thought and thinking always that you are ahead but in reality we all know that your whole country is surviving on Chinese loans 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where AIR India scored over 95% of other airlines around the world is Food...The Food choices is easily some of the best i have ever tasted on any airline
Air India is headed in the right direction. All the decisions they have taken since privatization are more or less correct. The interiors are at least clean and mostly functional, they have 5 aircraft with ex-Delta interiors in service, 6 new A350s coming this year and 6 ex-Etihad 777s coming. All of this is to fill the gap till their 400+ plane order begins to be delivered. I am really excited for the future of this airline & wish them the best. India deserves the Air India of the 1960s and 70s when it was known as one of the world's best airlines.
Thank you. This was a very helpful comment. Your video-story actually gave me almost the experience of flying myself. I was so far hesitant to chose Air India but your video has changed my attitude. Im flying very often from Germany to South East Asia and the next time Air India is coming up for economic business class tickets I will chose. Thank you again.
I used to remember flying on thai airways & virgin Blue in Australia because their always my favourite flying experience of flying on an airline and watching your videos make travelling informative. I think this is good for travellers to watch.
Nice video. I used to fly AI on their 787 often between BKK and DEL for work in business class and always had a pleasant, attentive crew. However, I flew the same route a few times in economy and was shocked by how surly and apathetic the crew was-night and day.
@@felixmathew123 Even in economy class there should (and in many cases, is) a baseline level of service. I.e. clearing food when everyone is finished or actually offering beverages and not having to go into the galley where FA's are sitting on the floor playing on their phones to request water. That's pretty bad.
@@tekkieman I know. It was a joke. If there’s anything baseline you should expect in Air India it’s that the entire experience from hygeine to functionality, punctuality or service to be very poor.
What a great video! Your reviews are some of my favorite on RUclips! Just the right amount of factual information, excellent video footage and an upbeat, yet non-dramatic tone. Someday I'd love to see you review some flights and trains in Canada, especially VIA Rail's "The Canadian"!
It's great to get a good look around the refurbished Singapore Airlines lounge, really like the hotel review and options for airport accommodation at the beginning of the video 👍
@@PetraKannwell technically Virgin Australia is just a budget airline with some business class seats at the front, for its economy class, you can only compare it with Jetstar 😅😅
Another great video Rory. And i really enjoyed seeing the Singapore Airport. It has been upgraded since i was last there. Glad that there were no hassles for you on this trip!! Keep doing what you love doing. Wish i could be with you travelling like you do. I just love your style and honest description on these worldwide travels.😊
I've really like the times I've been to Singapore. Some as a stop-over, while others have been as the destination itself. The one thing that struck me was how clean and tidy it was. No graffiti, rubbish etc. Lush tropical roadside/freeway gardens, city gardens, greenery everywhere. The food is great if you stay away from the tourist traps, I'm looking at you Raffles Hotel with your outrageous prices for a 'Singapore Sling'. At least the peanuts are still free. On a side-note, about a decade ago, Raffles got a renovation. Unfortunately, they created a replica of the iconic 'Long Bar' and built it in a new addition. I think the original 'Long Bar' is still accessible to hotel guests. Go where the locals go to eat. The metro is fantastic, and you can get to anywhere quick and fast. The stations are everywhere. I stay in a little place called 'Little India' and it's great. It has the best Indian food from all regional areas of India. It's close to a 4-storey mall that caters solely to the Indians and Sri Lankan work force. Their Indian supermarket was fascinating. It's also close to the night markets in Orchard Road (Mmmm, roasted Chestnuts). The workforce in Singapore does rely on immigrant labourers from such countries as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal etc. Then there's the financial side, with many foreigners now calling Singapore home. The hotel In Little India was new but very small rooms with tiny windows that barely opened. The bathroom was 'interesting'! It was a micro, self-contained, plastic, all-in-one, cubicle with a tiny shower and no shower curtain. The water went all over the toilet and the floor. The door had a 'lip' you had to step over to keep the water in the bathroom. The room was tiny with nowhere to place luggage. The small TV was at an odd angle on the wall up high, only watchable by standing as there were no chairs! But we did have great views from the rooftop swimming pools looking down on the famous 'Shop-houses (Chop-Houses?)', Indian Temples, Muslim Mosques, Chinese Temples and Singapore's commercial and entertainment districts as well as those sky-scrappers! Don't bother with Santosa Island, though. It's a bit of a rip-off, as are electronic goods. It's not as cheap as it once was. Beware, you can't use the rooftop infinity pool at the marina casino unless you are a guest. Use the Sky Wheel, it's just as good.
I love your summary in the end! I agree with you completely in regard to Sentosa! And when I went to the Singapore Flyer back in 2016, it was empty and I had the whole “cabin” to myself, the view was amazing!
Was at this lounge on June 19. I would recommend flying into Singapore on premium economy from your departure city and either booking business class or take a chance and upgrade on your return trip to use the beautiful lounge. Thank You Rory. Your videos made my recent Australian travel experience familiar. Was able to take XPT overnight sleeper train from Sidney to Melbourne before it goes away. Also, took the enjoyable Overland from Melbourne to Adelaide and the amazing Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Perth. So sorry about your recent airplane horrible experience. Be Well. Robert
Does AI have Y+ on its 787s ? I don't think so. I believe AI will be introducing a better Y+ in the future. The existing product offered on its 777-200LRs is the same as the DL product (these aircraft used to operate for DL).
Hi Rory 👋, I really enjoyed this amazing presentation and I wouldn't want you to present these videos in any other way. This is certainly a better experience for you compared to the previous trip. Well done Rory 👏 I look forward to your next presentation 👍
Thank you!! 😊 Also, this video was filmed in March. I had planned to publish it two weeks ago, but I decided to prioritise the Biman drama (which occurred on June 17). So, instead of uploading this video back then, I uploaded the Biman video.
@roryding thoroughly loved watching the video and i loved it. having said that, as an anecdote the closing statement of 'delhi belly' was unwarrented. subscribed. keep rolling more of real life experiences please.
Well done Rory. A bit relieved now after seeing this video as flying first class YVR-DEL in Dec, and hoping against hope that I would get a refurbished 777-300 ER. The ones out of SFO to DEL are ex-Delta 777-200s that I would have preferred , but WTH , will bite the bullet and see what Campbell Wilson has in store for me. The point you made about the 'best food in the skies', is well taken and I'm excited about the gastronomic delights in-store for this 16.5 hour flight.
Thank you. Also, this video was filmed in March. I had planned to publish it two weeks ago, but I decided to prioritise the Biman drama (which occurred on June 17). So, instead of uploading this video back then, I uploaded the Biman video.😅
Hi! I have posted updates in the community section of my channel and in the comment section of that video. 😊 Basically, the Biman management team saw that video within a few hours of its publication and sent me an apology email immediately. I then requested a full refund and reimbursement for the new flight that I had to book with another airline. They agreed to my demands and have already refunded me. Although not officially confirmed, I believe that manager has lost his job too.
Your review is very thorough.... 20-25 mins for a full journey I find it manageable length-wise. Yes, you can focus on more the flight part than airport - and may consider an airport review for each separately and link them in your video. Like Singapore airport itself worth a 20 min video.
I am hopeful for Air India after the takeover from the government and it became TATA's baby yet again.. Hoping for more infrastructure changes in the airlines to be in that standard of luxury carrier and to be budget friendly
Thank you! And Yeah this type of seats seems to be quite common on many airlines. I feel like the older Turkish 777s also have these seats, but in a 2-3-2 config.
I’m still not convinced tbh.. apart from the on board catering, which your peers all agree is usually excellent.. maybe a long haul trip between Delhi or Mumbai and South east Australia might reveal more? Economy class should always be the meter to judge an airline by .. but it seems from your review that the Tata/SQ takeover means something positive is happening there.. which can only be a good thing ! 🙏
The Singapore MRT is the cheapest eY to get into Singapore hands down! I usually stay around the Lavender area, so I’m at my Hotel within 45 mins from boarding the train at Changi airport. I think it costs no more than $3.60 when using my debit card for the whole trip !
Excellent stuff Rory - This is certainly going on my list of "must do travel experiences" Meal looked very impressive. I remember flying from LA to Miami on United Airways which was a long 5 or 6 hour flight. No meal. Only one complimentary turkey sandwich with drinks available at extra cost. The headphones were also at extra cost. One of the longest and tiring flights I have taken (I flew economy class - the 1st and business class got caviar and champagne of course - and free headphones) 😁
Hi i am fromg Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵.. most of the airlines have good hospitality on business class so plz try to make vdos from economic class. Thank u for ur vdo.. keep going get success
Glad to hear your well-balanced positive review of Air India. You were honest and professional in your approach. Many of the reviews of Air India from the recent past are filled with unnecessary cribbing about petty things like "seats are old", "the infotainment is useless", "food is bad" etc. Appreciate your observations. Look forward to more.👍
Apart from the unnecessary cheap "Delhi belly" comment , a very good video. I know it may be innately difficult, but you can try avoiding silly comments and still have high quality content. Best wishes
If the other seat was occupied, would you have to walk over that person if they were sleeping. I would find that very troubling. I like the business class on Air Canada where each person has their own pod. Very private and comfortable.
Same as Turkish Airlines that seat. Its honestly still the best sleep I had in flatbed mode , compared to any other businessclass seat. How home the others cant make it this good ? But ok, 1-2-1 is the future for these airlines.
@@RoryDing its just, i was able to find a proper laying on the side-position on this type of seat on a Turkish flight before, and that never happens :D epic flight that was.
Very Nice Video-Report ! But I'm not so excited to pay for business class few grands (transatlantic) & get the seat with the "neighbor" for this amount of money if others provide 1-2-1 for the same money or less...
Honest personal feedback on your review. I have not seen any of your previous reviews and I note from your site that your flights seem to be confined to premium class (i.e. Business + First class). Since I am in the 94% who travel in economy, they are not really relevant to me. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this one :- LIKES - 1) your voice and pace of delivery 2) the detailed information provided in all sections including the lounge and particularly the airport. 3) not sponsored 4) the fact that you offer opinion and criticism DISLIKES -1) the best part of any flight is the take-off and the landing, but unfortunately you cut those.
I prefer Changi. 1 I never had to use a remote gate in Changi, which saves time in boarding and disembarking, and 2 it has so much to do, there are shops, gardens, cinemas, and then there’s the Jewel Changi Hong Kong is still a great airport, but it’s just not as good as Changi in my opinion. I had to wait about 25 minutes to go through security screening 3 weeks ago because only three lanes were open in the early evening, which made the line very long.
my review of they is C tier economy. on the level of some Chinese airlines. it’s fine…. not impressive. but one good thing is it’s staff just eyeball the unlimited alcohol for economy class.
Hi everyone, thank you for watching! How do you find the length of my latest flight reviews? Do you think I should spend less time on introducing the airport and showing the lounge? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 😊
Good video. It looks like they did a good job with T2 at Changi. Also Rory did you get a refund and apology from that horrible Bangladeshi airline?
Hi Rory. I really enjoy watching the hotel and lounge reviews. I say keep them.
It's perfect 😊
I always enjoy the longer videos 👍
I like the longer videos :)
HONESTLY, This is the first time at least 1 vlogger introduce so well to airport and lounges,
Air India old days are gone, it will be in the top 10 airlines soon. Like your videos.
Thank you 😊
u r so optimistic but it they won't be in first 10

Air India has dialed up its game in the recent months. .Glad you had a great flight.
I'm glad this Business class experience went so much better than the horrendous Biman Bangladesh check in you showed us last time!
Where AIR India scored over 95% of other airlines around the world is Food...The Food choices is easily some of the best i have ever tasted on any airline
And also worst in providing inflight services...sorry but thats the fact. They need total overhaul.
Are you serious ? Do you refer to Y class ? Do you mean catering for the Indian market only ?
Just serving Indian food does not make a global airline. The food needs to be altered based on the route.
Air India is headed in the right direction. All the decisions they have taken since privatization are more or less correct. The interiors are at least clean and mostly functional, they have 5 aircraft with ex-Delta interiors in service, 6 new A350s coming this year and 6 ex-Etihad 777s coming.

India deserves the Air India of the 1960s and 70s when it was known as one of the world's best airlines.
Changhi airport never disappoints. One of the few airports I don't mid a longer layover.
it is far too big ..just a marketing exercise for Singapore.
Thank you. This was a very helpful comment. Your video-story actually gave me almost the experience of flying myself. I was so far hesitant to chose Air India but your video has changed my attitude.

To feel the freshness of India 🇮🇳fly Air India
Hi Rory thank you for the video the plane looked ok.Could not believe the size of the meal you wouldn't go hungry. Hope you enjoyed the flight.
Thank you! Yeah the amount of meal they served was incredible 😅😅
Nice video, and great to see such a positive review.

The Business Class Seats Look The Same As Kenya Airways Use On B78-8.Great Trip Report

I would hope that Air India gets the private pods like AA Flagship and UAL Polaris. Need the pods.

Economy class should always be the meter to judge an airline by .. but it seems from your review that the Tata/SQ takeover means something positive is happening there.. which can only be a good thing ! 🙏
Their soft product has improved . Hard product takes 2 years minimum for better changes

Wow one sandwich in the 6h flight is definitely a bit rough 😅
maybe hold off until air india completes its full revamp.

WelCome 🤗😊 To India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️💕
Thank you 😊
I hope the airline improved their scent, some issues with the smell some years ago
I smelt curry as soon as I stepped on board
But it wasn’t unpleasant too me
I still dream of that laksa at Changi
Do we need to pay for the food in airplane,can we use mobile in it i never flew in airplanes 😢
When are you coming back to Australia
If the other seat was occupied, would you have to walk over that person if they were sleeping. I would find that very troubling. I like the business class on Air Canada where each person has their own pod. Very private and comfortable.
Have you tried the Transit Hotels at Changi, they are very good.
I never had the chance to stay there but in the future I will try
Thank you for the recommendation 😊
Still lots and lots of improvements needed to be done AIR INDIA. By changing logo quality doesn't change.
How is it well maintained when the seat separator screen didn't work
Don't change a thing. Everything you show us is interesting. ;-)
Thank you 😊
Same as Turkish Airlines that seat. Its honestly still the best sleep I had in flatbed mode , compared to any other businessclass seat. How home the others cant make it this good ? But ok, 1-2-1 is the future for these airlines.
Yeah these old seats do have the advantage of having more space
But I do also appreciate the direct aisle access and more privacy in 1-2-1. 😂😂
@@RoryDing its just, i was able to find a proper laying on the side-position on this type of seat on a Turkish flight before, and that never happens :D epic flight that was.
That Himalayan water bottle was owned by Tata's(owner of Air India)
It is premium water bottle brand in India.
Singapore ,the weather is so bad in Singapore,so humid so sticky
Very Nice Video-Report ! But I'm not so excited to pay for business class few grands (transatlantic) & get the seat with the "neighbor" for this amount of money if others provide 1-2-1 for the same money or less...
Bom dia video legal boa viagem ai india Boeing 787
I usually try and avoid Air India. The interior of their planes are often pretty shabby. But, for what you paid, I think you got a pretty good deal.
Give advance notification to them about you are publishing this video
14:04 did Air India forgot they were a commercial jet and not a space shuttle
🔥🔥🔥
Honest personal feedback on your review. I have not seen any of your previous reviews and I note from your site that your flights seem to be confined to premium class (i.e. Business + First class). Since I am in the 94% who travel in economy, they are not really relevant to me. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this one :- LIKES - 1) your voice and pace of delivery 2) the detailed information provided in all sections including the lounge and particularly the airport. 3) not sponsored 4) the fact that you offer opinion and criticism DISLIKES -1) the best part of any flight is the take-off and the landing, but unfortunately you cut those.
Five star coverage
Thank you 😊
There been a big investment in air India with tata and lots are changing think as they say watch this space
Hate when they dim the windows on a day flight .
Hey do you prefer Hong Kong airport or Singapore airport
I prefer Changi. 1 I never had to use a remote gate in Changi, which saves time in boarding and disembarking,
and 2 it has so much to do, there are shops, gardens, cinemas, and then there’s the Jewel Changi
Hong Kong is still a great airport, but it’s just not as good as Changi in my opinion. I had to wait about 25 minutes to go through security screening 3 weeks ago because only three lanes were open in the early evening, which made the line very long.
my review of they is C tier economy. on the level of some Chinese airlines. it’s fine…. not impressive. but one good thing is it’s staff just eyeball the unlimited alcohol for economy class.
Thank you again for your review 😊
Thank you 😊
