There are two airlines flying nonstop between New York City and Delhi (DEL): Air India from JFK and United from Newark (EWR). United's fares start at around $4,300 for a round-trip departing the US. Flights from other US cities connecting at Newark are more reasonable — Washington, D.C. is $3,500 round-trip in biz, for example, which isn't bad at a...
I was hoping to score seats in the rear mini-cabin (more on that below), so I attempted to check in about 36 hours prior to departure — Air India web check-in opens up 48 hours out, so in theory, there was plenty of time to take care of formalities before we arrived at the airport. Unfortunately, I kept getting an error message that our reservation...
I made it into the terminal around 12:15am, which was 30 minutes before our scheduled boarding time of 12:45am. I didn't really want to spend any time in the Air India lounge, but I needed to stop by for the purposes of this review. The lounge sign after duty free listed out every lounge but Air India's, though I spotted it on the second floor just...
I boarded through the forward door, so I had to walk through the small one-row first-class cabin, which has just four seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. It's a hugestep up from business class, but hardly a pinnacle of luxury. (First-class awards cost a whopping 140,000 United miles each way. No thank you!) Our seats in the center section, 8DEF, were l...
As I mentioned above, business-class seats are arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration, compared to 1-2-1 in first class and 3-3-3 in coach. At less than 20 inches wide, they're especially narrow — less than two inches wider than the seats in economy. At boarding, each seat had a light blanket, a small pillow and a second larger pillow. I imagine those i...
In addition to the pillows and light blanket, there were slippers at my seat when I boarded... ... along with socks and an eye mask (but not earplugs) in a paper bag. I thought that was the extent of our amenity kit until a flight attendant appeared to offer pajamas (woohoo!) and a proper amenity kit just before departure. The amenity kit was uniqu...
Speaking of garbage, here's the in-flight entertainment screen. Since we were in a bulkhead row, our monitors were pretty far away from the seats. They were also on the smaller side (about 15 inches, it seemed) and very low-resolution. Content (when I managed to get any to load) only appeared on a portion of the display. The system was far out of d...
Since my IFE system was busted, my power outlet didn't work and my laptop wasn't fully charged (I was planning to use the remaining battery power to edit photos), I decided to participate in all three meal services to help pass the time. Just after boarding, a flight attendant came by with a tray of hot and cold towels. (The crew was mediocre at be...
What can I say... Air India is the worst. I wasn't expecting a great product, but I was shocked by just how terrible of a flight this was. At the end of the day, the airline got us home safely from India to New York, and we even arrived 25 minutes early. But I was eager to get off the moment I stepped foot on this 777. Will I fly Air India again? C...

Apr 24, 2024 · 7/10. Air India currently operates Boeing's wide-body aircraft on its long-haul routes. The Boeing 787-8 comes with 18 Business Class flatbed seats in a 2-2-2 configuration, a seat width of 22 inches (56 centimetres) and a pitch of 74 inches (190 centimetres).
Feb 17, 2018 · A business class ticket entitles a traveller to a higher level of travel class than the regular economy class ticket. Available on a number of airlines, it is known by different brand names, but is uniformly more expensive than an economy class ticket. Originally, business class was designed as a travel class between economy and first class ...
May 16, 2017 · So without further ado, here are 20 (yes, TWENTY) things I hated about yesterday's Air India business-class flight to New York-JFK. 1. Air India made me sick. And no, not air sick. I spent much of yesterday in agony after stuffing my face with the airline's 5:00am "lunch" service.
Mar 8, 2024 · Air India’s A350-900 Interiors. As I walked through gate L1, I saw that the first compartment on the plane was a Business Class compartment, basically an enclosed suite. There are 28 fully enclosed suites in a 1-2-1 configuration on board. No overhead bins over the centre made the business cabin roomier.
