Would you feel the same if the cabin was full? My mum is flying AI BC to Goa this December so I'm particularly interested in your viewpoint. She usually flies Qatar BC but doesn't like the layover. I may join her in January and am torn between a layover in Doha or a direct flight in an inferior product, albeit significantly cheaper I look forward to the rollout of the new BC suites next year...!
As long as your expectations are kept in check, I don’t see them messing up the flight too much. For me, the main thing on that long a sector is the ability to sleep on a lie-flat bed. Also the service seems to be eager and willing. If it’s significantly cheaper, I’d say an AI direct flight is certainly worth it! Obviously it doesn’t yet stand a chance at the same price level.
The seats are certainly lie flat. A good experience with any airline needs to be acknowledged, despite what they are usually known for or how others perform!
Why I should care? No, I don't! It's a pathetic and disgusting airline. Period! I'd rather pay double the amount and fly in Qsuites, and that's exactly what I have been doing for the past 10 years.
going air india business class in jan2025 , only for the sleeping bed i need.......,,,,its half the price of emirates or qatar ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i wont be eating any of there food to avoid food poisoning ,,,bringing my own food ............also be wearing clothes with hidden zip pockets , with all my valuables , so nothing gets stolen while im asleep ....heard a lot of horror stories about air india....................but you get get what you pay for ........paying so little,,,,,,,i expect the overall product to be rubbish
Don’t worry, it will not be half as bad as you expect! Sure there are problem AI flights, but not all their flights are bad! Like you, the most important thing for me is the lie-flat bed, the worst business class is still better than the best economy over long haul! Wish you well!
Such lovely commentary. Best I have ever heard
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Thanks for the useful information. Do you know if they have already replaced/upgraded their 787 fleet?
Not yet
Very nice presentation. Im flying with a toddler and my mum soon, is there a way to bring down the bulky partitions between the seats?
Wonderful presentation. Do we have drinks serverd aboard ?

Are they pyjamas for take away? I left mine after changing. Wasn’t sure 😅
Yes you do get to take them with you!
@@ashnd next time I’ll bring with me 😁
Excellent video brother
Your views are the most balanced that I have seen on the topic! Please keep up the good work!
Lucky your IFE worked
That seating for business class looks awful
is this a documentary, powerpoint presentation or a youtube video?
The seats are not lie flat, the food looks unappetizin. You need to travel Turkish/Emirates/Qatar before you praise AI. AI has a long, long way to go
The new A350 business class is much better than Qatar/Turkish business class. The transformation of AI has started.

Good for you 👍
We indians really need to learn how to use and behave on Aircrafts 😒...looking at the destruction of airindia aircrafts
Indians Have nothing to do but yes its Indian Government who neglect to maintain the aircraft,
