How good is Air India's A350 Premium Economy?

[@avianlook]

Food on a 30 minute flight is putting all european airlines to shame, especially for $89 are you kidding me?! Anyway, you're easily taking the crown for these Air India A350 reviews! Can't wait to see what you upload next.

[@airedition]

The entire experience is incredible and really fun to be a part of. There are a few more videos from around India in the pipeline!

[@MODECHARLIE]

The economics of flight catering is completely different in Asia vs. the Western world.

[@raknoknak]

This may be temporary. All these planes are planned to be moved to long haul flights.

[@ENGAGEsummerschool-vi8xg]

it was a promotional flight. AI is far from impressive in its "normal" iteration

[@airedition]

@@ENGAGEsummerschool-vi8xgnot a promotional flight, just sending the A350 around. Doesn’t change anything about the onboard food. And in India you do get food on a vast majority of even short flights.

[@srikanthshastry4546]

This is Awesome! I am 1 of those that still think AirIndia has a long way to go and also feel its a downgrade from was Vistara (RIP) used to be. I hope this a GOLD STANDARD for them and they must insure they deliver the same on all their services, International especially and of course regional too.

[@rupanjan]

AI’s domestic run on the A350s imo are just a glimpse on what’s coming on their long haul service. These are great practice runs for the crew. Sadly, after a while we will rarely see these A350 on domestic routes until Airbus completely fulfils the backlog which will take years from now.

[@airedition]

True, it was nice while it lasted on the domestic runs!

[@vivekrameshjois]

Do a review of the AI business class lounge in Bengaluru. It’s their flagship lounge

Great Video.....and an even greater background soundtrack on the flute. Any idea about which soundtrack has been used?

[@AnaRebeca]

Recently booked a flight from jfk-del-sin with my first leg being in this new aircraft in business class. Found a great point redemption through air Canada but everyone told me to not book it because of air indias notoriously bad reputation. I feel much more at ease after watching your reviews and looking forward to trying the flight out later next year! Hopefully they are really taking a turn for the better!

[@airedition]

That’s great to hear! I think you’ll have a great flight.

[@PaxPinanceMinstr]

Well, the one who told you not to book Air india was right,air india was only recently acquired from govt,and the transition would take time,the one you saw only delivered few months back and are on trial with domestic routes,you wont be seeing these brand new internationally for couple of years to make change its bad reputation

[@soorajmusic]

You're in luck! Air India's new A350 as shown in the video has recently been deployed on the JFK-DEL sector, so hopefully you'll be flying in one of these soon!

[@airedition]

@@PaxPinanceMinstrthis is incorrect. The A350s are being deployed internationally already and with many more to come that means more routes. Plus they’re starting refurbishing of older aircraft very soon.

While a fleet of new cars can always look pristine, a true car enthusiast knows that the longevity and appearance of a vehicle depend on proper care of the old ones too , I have given up on AirIndia 10 years back after I used to fly in India and abroad .

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.

[@richardsking]

new planes ordered, but back log there, so once those planes delivered, everything will be OK, dont sorry, even SFO 777 plane is also old, plus indigo 350 arriving from 3027, so wait, don't expect change overnight

[@airedition]

It's true they need to refurbish those 777s asap.

[@VSV659]

Air India has a peculiar problem in that Indians traveling overseas on premium classes prefer foreign carriers over Air India. So Air India tends to operate substandard aircraft even on the India-US sectors while the better aircraft serve domestic routes.

[@motei1853]

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 !!

[@airedition]

That is very bad handling of that situation, for sure! Of course there needs to be compensation for the downgrade. And we as passengers shouldn't have to chase it!
