Very comfortable flight. I appreciate the announcements were also in English.

Needs lots of improvement starting from crew/staff attitude, cleanliness, better quality food & in flight amenities.

Horrible flight. No entertainment or WiFi for a 14-hour flight. No explanations either. I’ll never fly Air India again.

The trip with Air India was better than expected starting with the check-in and the Lounge. The flight was comfortable for a 1 hour flight.

Food not of any international or even Indian standard. We have many cuisine available but only paneer & sundry items. Improve & provide some good indian items. Entertainment website or channel out of order.

Old creaky plane, poor entertainment, USB port did not work. Food was ok.

The only good thing about this flight was that the air hostess was very professional and courteous. The flight was ancient with monitors not working, washrooms did not have soap in the liquid dispenser, while serving meals there was some malfunction in the oven due to which many passengers were furious as there food was delivered late.

Old planes, poorly maintained, patched together with tape, non functional inflight passenger equipment. Inexperienced flight attendants who tried thier best but could have used more training in dealing politely with passengers. Pilots and flight deck crew along with ground crew did an excellent job in taking off and landing safely. Disheartening lack of infrastructure support from Air India management.

Entertainment needs to be for the entirity of the trip. Food can improve.

The only good part of the journey is the short travel time! If you don’t care about the in flight entertainment, quality and quantity of food as well as don’t mind getting up and fetching up your own snack/beverages from the food pantry then go for this airlines. FYI, charging only with USB, but u will be out of luck if you are stuck with a non functional one!☹️
