    The condition of old beaten up air crafts on Delhi-Toronto sector being operated by Air India is terrible. Around 70% of entertainment systems not working, old worn out & torn seats, planes falling apart. Air India is giving itself & it's partner "Singapore Airlines" a Bad name by continuing to operate such aircrafts. They charge for all the services but do not provide basic services like functional entertainment systems. The reason that they are going to change to newer aircrafts soon does not give them an excuse to operate such, old & beaten up aircrafts. They should be refunding money to people for the inconvenience caused.

    Air India still sucks !!. I was very excited about premium economy Mumbai to NY. Booked even though it was expensive than other ones. First they changed timing so i had to change domestic connecting flight ..money lost. Second they changed planes. So it was no longer A350. then after two weeks they downgraded to economy. No email or text. I found out because I visited my booking to check status. When called no none available so i called business class customer service and someone was kind enough to point out that the changed plane does not have premium economy so I was downgraded. when asked what about price difference. Apparently they do not offer. So basically you pay for premium economy then involuntarily get downgraded to economy on a much older plane and you are not entitled to price reduction !!.
    On complains to several people and getting tossed around i was finally pointed to a form where i can request but they will not tell me if what would be the price difference if any at all only after i complete my trip !!
    Needless to say cancelled the flight and now had to pay lot more to other airline as I was down to one week from flying
    AIR INDIA was BS then and still BS now !!
