Air India

This is an old thread, I was hoping someone had experience with AI. I'm probably going to go for it, it's 150-200 pounds savings. :-/

I know someone who flew with them out from LA to India a year or so ago. She didn't have any real complaints. Not the greatest airline in the world, but there are worse.

As long as I don't have to sit with livestock, I'll be happy. I've booked the flights, so we'll see how it goes. If you book with them a few months in advance you're getting dirt cheap tickets. Best price I got was from www.airplaneticket.co.uk., one adult was 189+70 tax. We'll see if it's worth it.

Thanks sweetypeabee, I'm not as worried about it now.

Leah, some friends of mine have flown on Air India twice to come to Europe.  They said it was ok.  I guess if you're flying cheap, then go for it.  I'm personally too snotty, I guess.  I'm either BA or United.  Although someone told me Continental is pretty good, so maybe I'll try them in the future.

I have a sister-in-law who has just flown to the States on Air India with her daughter and four kids. Tickets for four adults was only £160.00 a piece round trip. They left out of Heathrow and was a non-stop flight. I don't think that is to bad for air line tickets.

The good news is that I would fly this airline any day, nice people, plenty of leg room on the 747, and all around just nothing to complain about. If you don't want to see a bit of wear and tear on the pocket on the seat in front, then it's not for you, but other than this, I am extremely satisfied with my first AI Flight from Heathrow to Chicago.  

My return flight was as good, and realized that these flights are a curry lover's heaven. You have the option for an Indian or non-Indian meal, I had Indian both ways.

That sounds rude, lol.
