  1. Josh Cahill and I didn't just stay pick the same hotel when we had a layover in Delhi, we also take extactly as long to cut our videos, as he posted his review of 🇮🇳 AIR INDIA's Boeing 787 BUSINESS CLASS just yesterday! 🥳 Check it out if you want to know what it's like in 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS97RhwowWM

  2. Air India will always be known for its luggage allowance and food… be it for long haul or short haul flights.. Love your videos and work… Keep it up (and yes 4.37 – 4.40 in the video is epic gold) 😂😂

  3. Tata is already making improvements in the soft product and now we are waiting for improvement in the hard one

  4. i suppose why the breakfast was at that time is because 2am in vienna would probably be morning and around the time in india when people have breakfast. if the crew was following IST then that probably explains it

  5. Honestly, if you were flying lufthansa on a 6 h flight between New York and Frankfurt you will have criticized them for offering a mediocre breakfast (cereal bar and a coffee) and when Air India offers a decent breakfast for this duration of the flight you also criticize them. The problem is not the breakfast on air India, is that they should serve dinner quicker TO MAXIMIZE SLEEP`,.

  6. Regarding the window dimming feature, imo there should always be a blind present! No matter how great the tech is. A manual backup for such things is always good. I guess the reason is to make sure all windows are clear while landings and take offs. I also understand installing an automatic blind system that can be operated manually during the cruise phase would be a pointless expense as well. But since the crew already does checks pre landing and takeoff, I believe they should consider keeping at least a simple one. I for myself hate it when I can't shut the blind with the sun on my face! I'm more of a cloudy weather person 😅

  7. I am glad to see Air India is improving. The planes though are still dirty and pig styes.

  8. I remember seeing on YouTube bat 🦇 flying inside the aircraft, most likely there will be rats also running around inside the aircraft under seats.

  9. New airplanes with the same “unionised crew” will make NO “bright future” for this defunct airline, as predicted by the vlogger.

  10. This is why I always download my own movie content on my personal device. Just in case. 👍🏾

  11. I thought your review was fair, but was somewhat surprised by your comment regarding a second meal service as unnecessary. First of all, on late night flights, many people do not stay awake for the first meal service, but gladly appreciate being offered breakfast A second meal option on a 6:30 flight affords people the option of accepting the meal of their choosing rather than the late night “dinner only” option you suggested. Secondly, you actually could’ve decided not to have breakfast and remained asleep.

  12. 13:09 I flew on a British Airways 777-300ER 2 weeks ago fitted with a Thales system like this one. The handset would work every few hours which means the crew had to keep resetting it and the touchscreen did not work. The screen would sometimes freeze and crash when it was on the moving map, only some of the many entertainment options were shown on the ife system, There was practically no space under the seat due to the Bulky IFE Box and The picture quality was quite poor.

  13. This shows that when Air india was under GOI, there was a lot of Mismanagement. Unfortunately fixing Cabins is not easy. It requires a complete overhaul of the aircraft and wiring. It takes time. Atleast Food is good.
