Lovely video and Thank you for appreciating Air India. My dad would have been proud watching this, had he been alive. He worked with Air India for 36 years. I have been on many Air India flights and always enjoyed flying with them. Cheers from Mumbai India 🇮🇳.

[@atokimruk937]

That is the crap they inherited from the govt run Air India which early was one of the worst 5 in the world.Now the privatized AI has its work cut out. It still has those govt crappy pilots, fat and surly FA, etc that it must get rid off.

[@sushi777300]

I still remember the times when AI had a mini hub at FRA and had 5th freedom for FRA-ORD and FRA-LAX all served by the 744. Was too young and didn't have the chance back then to use this exotic opportunity. Always loved the maharaja as their little mascot

[@TheLayoverAviation]

That’s true, I you reminded me of that! Those were the times, right?! I was young too so I didn’t really get the chance. I did fly with Jet Airways from Amsterdam to Toronto though..! Thanks for brining up this nice and interesting memory!

[@narasimhamr7146]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you for your great words. The great thing about TATA's is taking over of Air India which is in 35 thousand crores deficiet. No one dared to do so. Any one will take over profitable companies. And also they will come out with great gesture when Nation needs support. Company with moral values. I read some time back while recruiting Ratanji by JRD, that he needs a person not only efficient but with values. So he is delivering what ever JRD dreamt.

Delhi is my base city! Just loved the way you are so positive about Air India, truly appreciate that. That's a bitter reality most of us Indians are avoiding AI but we just hope AI does a 360° makeover after taking over by Tatas.

One has to be positive Ravi! No need to be bitter. I’ve had some different experiences on Air India too, but you just have to see it in a positive way. If all airlines were perfect what a boring world this would be! But yes, Air India deserves much better and hope they make the Indians proud. Sad their business is going to other countries. Thanks for watching!!

[@psn999100]

TBH , most of us Indians have historically avoided AI due to bad service, quality of interiors , constant delays etc. It simply sucked and there were better options available. Hopefully now the Tata's can do a much better job.

As a vlogger you were treated differently. I always use Singapore airline but 3 months ago in April 2024 i used Air India Sydney to Delhi economy return on their 787. My seat was 11 exit row , from Sydney the IFE was working but they forget to load headphones for whole flight. The Quality and quantity of food was no way near to others . Delhi to Sydney i had same 11 exit row right side window seat, i brought my own headphones but the IFE unit was broken. It was so hot inside the plane while it was grounded, everyone was complaining. Imagine paying full fare usually more then Singapore airlines and travel without IFE for 12.5 hours. i have used Air India Sydney to Delhi once Before Tata and After taken over by Tata , nothing has changed.

I only fly four times with Air India two international and two domestic! I must say each time I ly with them I had great polite professional service! Is always easy to find gate of Air India ? Just follow the food smell ? I know some people complain about Air India but I never had a reason! I think most Indian complaints as some Indian can be very difficult to please!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I agree on the nice service received from the crew, I’ve also done 4 flights and always great. It’s easy to complain about Air India as they just have waaay too strong competition on all their routes if you think about it. And those competitors invested very much in product development. Air India needs some upgrades, such as IFE and beverage selection. So obviously if you fly to the US with them or with SQ, QR or EK there will be big differences at the moment. And yes, from what I know the Indian customer is the most demanding one. Fair enough, they bring incredibly lot of revenue, so much that companies like Emirates and Qatar Airways main pillars are India and neighbors.

[@epic_flightsimmer6340]

Same I must agree with you, I flew JFK-DEL-HYD and back all on their 77Ws in 2018 and it was actually much better then when I travelled in Etihad two years prior tht. Maybe the crew were not the most friendly as Etihad seems to have a much friendlier crew, but yes I loved the legroom on their economy cabins for someone thats 5'11 it was hard for me to fit in most airlines cabin but not so with Air India and I must the food was the best I've ever had in air, maybe not on the DEL-HYD-DEL sector, they were rlly short flights ( less then 2hrs) esp on a 777-300ER soo it was light snacks, but the ones to the US were amazing but they didn't have a lot of options which I do have to agree with, and same with the IFEs, there are definitely better IFEs out there and Air Indias IFE's were heavily MID. But at the time when I was flying they had decent collections to watch but headphones weren't working. Overalll I must say esp for what I paid in summertime ( tickets to India skyrockets in summer ) the service was really good and so was the flight. I would definitely fly Air India again!

Another exelent video. I also love this food and I go to tell you a secret 🤫: ( I think that my family and I alone compete with the Chinese for so much rice that we eat, we are also Latinos and without a doubt I prefer this delicious food than than the wester one too) Volviendo al tema, it seems like a great economy class and a lot of opitality, everything like that definitely makes a difference.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Nice comment Sergio! While I don’t mind Western food very much, I do have a limit and during the strict phases of Covid I got there. I mostly travelled to Europe and US and just got enough of that Euro food and craved Asian. Of course there are Asian restaurants around but it has nothing to do with the real thing like there. The worse part is when I had to do hotel quarantines: I spend weeks eating hotel bland roomservice burgers/pizza/pasta😱 And yes, rice rules, even in my house despite no Asian/Latino background 😁 See you around!

7:40 thankfully thats not the fate for those 777s, jet airways received the AOC few weeks before, I think it will get back into service in a few weeks/months.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I really am looking forward to it! Thanks for the info!

Hey welcome to Changi Singapore my home city ,if your here on Sunday 22nd May give a shout out could have a coffee or meet at Changi . A lovely review on Air India ,a TATA company little touches are coming back customer experience on-time departure and food surely going to be overhauled by Taj catering arm of The Taj 5 star group hotel a TATA Co .At the moment still a legacy of the old shoddy Air India like the cabin which looks worn out . They have to act fast as Jet Airways back to flying and another TATA company with SIA partnership Vistatra will lead in the regular airline business . Now heading Air India is Scoots Singapore based budget airline hopes to have more changes but has a long way navigating through the unions and Indian red tape .

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I didn’t expect you would be living in Singapore Saud! Lucky man! I would be so incredibly fat there. Along Tokyo it’s my must go foodie city. When I have spare 24 hours I love to fly over just to have proper food and then return to Dubai. As soon as they opened up I was on the way there! I’ve been 4 times in the past month (also for work of course). Flew in and out with Vistara, Air India, SQ, Gulf Air and Emirates (won’t publish this one). It’s Sunday 22nd and I’m 2 days in Seychelles chilling from some hectic moving. The video’s are not published in any order so I’m afraid this Singapore video is slightly older, im long gone! Regarding Air India and the worn out cabin.. Wait until I show you a worn out 787 of theirs.. But I didn’t want that to be my first Air India episode. I hope that the best of them and Vistara gets mixed by TATA. What one lacks the other has. I like Air India’s heritage and crew but Vistara’s service and interior. Let’s see! Thanks for the info, didn’t know Scoot was in charge of AI now, interesting will study that🤔 . Take care my friend!

Amazing to know how you know the destinations of those planes on the tarmac !

A flightradar is your best friend at airports!

[@tushar260]

I had flown Air India (Chicago-London-Mumbai) before the Tata takeover and the service was appalling. Hopefully their customer service has got better now.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I had good customer service so far, but I’ve heard many other stories too! Sad you had a bad experience in such a long flight..

Good job tq I already travel 2.3 times delhi to singapore but this time is covid time can u tell me covid test report carry ya not.🙏🙏

[@donnadwarika6370]

Amazing trp thanks for posting ? Are there any airport you have not visited Me being inquesitive thanks

[@TheLayoverAviation]

There are so many airports I haven’t visited! I would say I have visited most major airports on all continents except for South America. There I’ve only visited Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. So there’s much more left to explore! Haven’t been to your home airport either!

[@ItaiGanor]

Yay the 787 Report :D, Another Great Trip Report buddy! Air India seems great overall..and the food I love the Indian food(not the too spicy one haha). I Taught You gonna pause on the guy who put his feet on the wall at 13:30 hahaa that so bad :D. I cant wait for the following Trip Report! have a good week :D buddy

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Not spicy Indian food?!🤨 Cappuccino with no milk please! The people at Air India were great, making the experience wonderful. As an airline they have a lot of room for improvement. I’ve also flown on a B787 held together by tape, but didn’t want that to be my first video.. And the feet on the wall I didn’t even notice! There are some countries where I switch off my eyes cause I wouldn’t be able to stop seeing things. Feet on the wall are something minor you might encounter in certain places, trust me😂. I know I will one day miss to see all these differences on my travels. What a boring world it would be otherwise, specially if you never shared a meal with a cockroach or two😅

I will advise you to try PIA next time you are flying from Dubai to anywhere in Asia. You will like the service and hospitality. And if you decide to stay for a short period in Pakistan you will explore something no where in the world.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I can’t wait to visit Pakistan and fly around with PIA. Sometime soon! My only problem is time. I barely have any! But I will go for sure this year!

[@kiprro]

Thanks for your reply. From now onwards I will wait for when you go to Pakistan and travel by PIA. I subscribed your channel and regularly watch your videos and I like them as I my self love traveling. I have almost seen all of your videos......great work. Wish you more success and see you very soon in airports in Pakistan and traveling in PIA . If you plan in future to go to Pakistan then try to fly the northern areas with PIA in their air safari in which they will show you the Himalayas mountain range and k2 ( 2nd highest peak in the world after everest ) and many more peaks lime Naga Parvati, k3 etc. Also in Northern areas you can see SKARDU international Airport which is one of the few highest above sea level 8n the world. There are many more things also ......so good luck

[@kiprro]

And once again I would like to thank you for your reply and I really appritiate because not everyone replies to their followers and subscribers in you tube.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I would love to do all that adventurous travel but I mostly travel for business, I have almost 0 time to go anywhere for fun. If I do have free time I fly with my family somewhere, and as I have a toddler I don’t think K2 is a good place😂 Looking forward going to Pakistan though!! Probably Sialkot is a nice place to start as I have a friend there.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I noticed, that’s why I do my best to reply to everyone! But I guess that at some point it will be too much to handle. Thanks for all the tips you gave me!

[@WeiYangAvgeek]

You’re in Singapore? Wow!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Seychelles actually at the moment! But I’ve been in Singapore 4 time since they opened up, both for work and leisure. It’s one of my favorite places on eart. And number 1 to eat! Singapore Airlines, Vistara and Gulf Air video’s from/to Singapore coming soon!

[@chuckoffcampus9738]

Great video. Don't all the Air India 787s have names? Any idea what the name was of your plane? I really like that you got both meals and showed them to us.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I didn’t get the name of this aircraft, didn’t even know it was named.. But it was the Gandhi special livery.

[@rattansingh5406]

finally in long time air india oh you just made my day and i hope more air india video comes and keep it up

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Finally Rattan! Yes much more coming, but I have to mix and match video’s so it will come out at some later stage. I have to make everyone happy!😁

[@matsharma]

TATA is starting refurbishing Air India Planes, i think it already started, also acquire new planes by next year.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I’m very glad to hear that Mohit. I recently flew on a plane that was a complete mess with everything damaged inside, which made me sad. Such a new B787. It should be the pride in the fleet🙂

Sir please make videos of vistara airlines
