I've flown Air India with no problems at all. As a bonus, the food is better that usual.

But how recently?  They've apparently been having problems lately.

I don't think Air India is having problems per se. They just cancel flights from time to time.  It's just a risk you take when booking a flight with them.  Although I generally avoid flying them, I would if their price was considerably lower than the other carriers.  My husband has flown them without any problems.  :-\\\\

I considered flying from New York back to London with Air India back in August because their prices were so low ($370 compared to $700-$800 with the other airlines), but then I found some not very complimentary online reviews about the flights and decided to play it safe with a more expensive flight.

One person complained that it took her 3 days to get from Chicago to India with them - they kept cancelling the flights out of Chicago, so she had to spend 2 nights in hotels there. Someone else said that they found the onboard service terrible and that the plane interior looked like it was falling apart!

I'm sure that not all their flights have problems, but I decided against booking a ticket with Air India just in case and in the end paid $800 to fly with United instead (the next cheapest airline I could find).

i MISSED a flight a couple of years ago from NY to bristol, and got a flight from air india for around 200$ to london.

Sure the service was bad, the food was bad, but i got home safe and sound for a very small price.

They arent that bad. IF you're desperate or low on cash

I was told they've canceled ALL flights out of JFK for the foreseeable future and are considering canceling their Gatwick flights as well.

Meg's spot on - you can join your EU citizen husband anywhere in the EU with the right to work.


However....Ireland is notoriously difficult when it comes to implementing this (they have just lost a court case over it).

Yes, I believe that, but I don't think that necessarily means they're having problems.  Just that they've decided to cancel the route.  It just happens sometimes.

That still wouldn't get me to book a flight out of EWR with that knowledge though. But that's just me. I'd be too paranoid that since they killed all the JFK flights, EWR was next!
