Attendants were smiling and efficient. The legroom was AMAZING, the carpet was thick-pile and the seats colorful fabric. It really took me back to the 1970’s.
However, the flight was 1.5hrs late, was a bit dirty and many of the fabric seat pockets were dislodged/ broken.
Thankfully In my case the seat pockets were all intact and the seats clean also if you notice this aircraff I flew on is a 14 year old (VT-EDC) and somehow it was well kept.Though we had a delay but it was just 10 Minutes so I didnt mind it.
Also despite being a short 45 Minute flight we were served a cucumber sandwich box and when I requested another I was provided with one again.
There are some aspects of Air India which makes me like them more and its not just their Inflight meals on all sectors but also their luggage allowance which is the most generous Ive seen among any domestic carriers..even many Intl cariers dont allow such check in allowance i e 25 KG free for Economy pax.
Overall for me AI has never been an airline of horrific experiences Ivr heard for many to be and I continue to prefer to fly it.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
