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!

I never realized how underrated armrests are until I watched this video. I’ll never take them for granted again!!!!

[rushid]

Air India is like good or bad, there is no middle ground, when you are about to ditch Air India, the last flight gives you a very good experience, but next time when you fly it back to zero.
still fingers crossed, hopefully Vistara will rub some of its charm on Air India.

I was going to sleep till I saw a new upload, sleep has to wait

[sris]

This is probably the best and most candid review I have seen of any airline. Thank you for the honesty.

[noisyboy]

I appreciate how you film your videos. Very nice. Much love from india. 😊❤

[rais]

In India generally there's a habit that if something's broken - a window in a house, a dent in a car - it stays that way. In an airline this habit needs to be overcome. So far it seems they haven't perceived that.

[rohanvarshnei]

03:15 - BOM does not allow airlines to open their own lounges. Adani (airport owner) runs all lounges, including AMEX.

[DeniseSommerRoque]

NO ARMRESTS 😮 That would definitely be a dealbreaker for me. However lovely spacious suite with lots of privacy. Great new intro and lovely additions in the preview of video’s to come. You keep raising the bar Kevin 💪🏼💫

[leneeanderson]

Best travel channel on youtube, no question!

[tomfox]

Allready hyped going to japan because of your last videos

[sblue]

6:44 This reminds me of my trip on Air India a few weeks ago. When the boarding starting, they had all kinds of doors/carts blocking the aisles, making it feel super hectic/messy/clumsy. It seems like they are never ready for the passengers.

[hungo]

I am always thrilled by the exterior design and capacity of the a350. Whenever there is a notification from your channel I have to tune in as soon as possible. Sublime video as always Kevin!

[AmolNimbalkar]

I was waiting for this video like a hawk and was watching the whole thing with bated breath. I am so glad our national carrier was able to serve you well this time. It is definitely a departure from the last video.

I agree with you as a regular traveler on this A350, the armrest issue is real and hitting those buttons is a common issue for me as well. All of us avgeeks and Indians are hoping that Air India extends the same experience you had on this specific flight. It remains to be seen. Based on my chats with the crew, I have been told that air India is trying hard to regain the trust. Videos such as yours provide a great way to see the current situation and I hope someone from AI is watching and taking notes.

As always a fantastic video and very much looking forward to your next ones.

[ISB]

I'm here for the sequel. Popcorn ready!

[william_aviation]

Quite interesting to see all the variations on Air India for business class

[randompersonasdfgh]

new aircraft, new intro

and similar drama (looking forward to qf)

[Pauly-fsnp]

Had always been waiting for this video to drop. Amazing vid btw!

[drranjit]

Your summary of what Air India's future might hold is spot on (18:21 onwards)

[cv]

yesterday i had an air india flight from hong kong to delhi, it was pretty pathetic, 30 min delay, plus screens were not working and also the bathroom door fell off, but the crew were really friendly and the food was good.

[Ishan_Naik]

I think what is happening at Air India is that transition to new owner, new fleets & upcoming creating all sorts good, bad, ugly service. They have yet to stabilize hopefully soon
