This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

[@Amtran727]

I love the fact that they have an inflight magazine! So many airlines have done away with it. But I'm old school so it's nice to see Vistara have that. I usually fly American and they never brought back American Way after the pandemic. But United still has Hempisheres magazine in seat pockets.

[@tfft]

I totally agree!

[@arjunraj823]

Thanks for introducing subtitles even in regional Indian languages. Even though I know English, I checked and it's perfectly translated. Visit India again ❤.

[@tfft]

Already booked!

[@geerd1]

Nice trip report as usual, Kev. I also appreciate the background information you always give 👍✈️

[@tfft]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@ledarthplanet]

Looks really great considering this was a narrow body aircraft. The reason the IFE was not there might be the plane being old, I guess? Cuz I've seen Vistara's new business class seats in their a321neo and they're way better than these, with more space and large IFE screens.... Anyways, really eager for your review on Vistara's 787 business class...

[@tfft]

Nah it was a 3 year old aircraft. Vistara had always meant to offer different seats in their A321s as those aircraft are meant for longer routes such as to Singapore or Dubai. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@ayushghosh1155]

Technically A320s usually don't feature IFE seats on many full cost carriers too. The A321s usually do.

[@internetmarketerbr1800]

You’re spot on on the coffee 👏 a small suggestion for the hotel reviews would be to comment on their coffee/ coffee bars. So many amazing hotels still offer crappy coffee or not a wide selection of roasts or beans 😢 thanks for the amazing content, keep it up sir 🫡

[@arpanabinaswar1811]

Newer A320 of vistara have IFE in Business. You can find between Delhi Kochi , Delhi to Dhaka and Delhi to Bhubaneswar (I've only seen IFE in these Routes so far dosent kbow if they have IFE for business class in other routes)

[@tfft]

Good to know! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@arpanabinaswar1811]

​@@tfft Allways a Pleasure man!!! Your videos are To be honest better than Most of Airline reviewers if you could only add few Aviation related facts to video you can be called a proper Airline Reviewer.

[@tfft]

I’ll be honest I typically feel like I might be a bit too heavy on the facts haha. What type of facts are you speaking about?

[@arpanabinaswar1811]

@@tfft Nothing much by facts i mean those bit more of informations about aircraft / flap configurations / features / Airport history / passenger footfall etc that could draw the attention of avgreeks to your channel.

[@ayushghosh1155]

And I believe their A321s all have IFE

[@sudhirlakshmanan]

As always a very neat video, to the point. Good research about the JV and the merger. Hope Air india can become better than Vistara. Loooking forward to the vistara dreamliner video. It would be really great if you can document the changes happening in Air India every six months or a year, especially when their a350-900s with aeroflot interiors arrive and also their 737s arrive at the end of this year.

I have taken the same early morning flight from Chennai to Delhi once last year and it was amazing. It was on Economy though but still I felt premium. Being part of the overall TATA group workforce, I feel proud about Vistara and the TATA's getting hold of Air India. Good times ahead. Reg. The Chennai airport, it's fallen so far down the pecking order behind Bengaluru & Hyderabad. I agree that the one and only lounge is always full. I would instead head to the Irish House lounge bar in the 1st floor of the domestic airport. They are building an integrated terminal and soon to be inaugurated. hopefully we see some improvement

[@tfft]

The Irish House was closed (looked like for a while) while I was there. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@jrs2002]

hii....can you make an overall review video about your India trip, about your best and worst experiences, how the hospitality experience in India was compared to rest of the places you have visited, scope and future, etc. ? Also comparing the best hospitality experience in India to the best rated one in your channel? That would actually be quite useful for different groups of your viewers who want to benefit from your videos for their own different reasons and interests.

[@tfft]

I make “Best of” videos at the end of the year. Making a similar video just for a handful of videos wouldn’t be of much use (compared to just watching the videos. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I remember flying Alitalia back in 2017 and I'm 99% sure they also served french press coffee in economy class (amazing!!!). I also boggles me why more airlines don't offer this, even for economy class, as I doubt the cost difference is that large.

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Hi Kevin, after your not so great experience at an ITC hotel I take back my recommendation for ITC Maurya in New Delhi. However I would like to suggest some of the best hotels in India which are located in Rajasthan such as Six Senses, Oberoi in Udaipur, Umaid Bhavan Palace and few more. Hope thats on your travel list now or sometime in future

[@tfft]

I have another India trip booked already, coming up later this year 😉

[@ThEEqualizer93]

You should do videos on what places you visit also , your videos on the medium of transportation as well as the place of atay already give me an Idea that you will be a fantastic travel vlogger with unprecedent variety and attention to detail.

[@tfft]

No time 😂

[@computhenics]

At 3:00, the information boards do show flight details in English. It's just that they take frustratingly long time to switch the language. Once, I was getting mad waiting, what felt like an eternity, for the language to change. This is somehow unique to Chennai airport. If you're in a rush, it's can be even more frustrating.

[@tfft]

The word “Departures” was in English, ironically, but at 3:00 all destination names and flight status indicators were in Tamil or Hindi. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@computhenics]

@@tfft Oh yeah, you're right. Guess I should be thankful that the airport is not using Tamil/Hindi scripts for depicting all the numbers too. Haha.

[@denisesommer-roque3169]

Thanks

[@pacheco262]

Vistara's A321 fleet has the inbuilt IFE for every seat and they provide headphones if needed - Disposable ones for the Economy and Premium Economy passengers and a fancy branded one for the Business class passengers. The business class seats in their A321 aircrafts turn into flatbeds. But the Vistara experience is fantastic. As for the lounge, I think that's an issue across several domestic airports. Bangalore and Mumbai are at the top of their lounge game, or so I felt everytime I've travelled out of them.

[@tfft]

Sure, the 787s have IFE and different seats as well, but this flight wasn’t on a 787 or A321 lol. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
