Air India has excellent facilities, such as good and hygiene, and they also have very helpful employees who are always happy to answer anything you ask.

The overall experience was terrible. I spent over 4 hours waiting on Hold trying to contact AI Call Centres - on Delhi, Mumbai & Chennai Numbers trying to find out if there would be a charge to change the Date of the Return Flight and if so, how much. The Ts & Cs say there are no penalties/fees after the onward journey has been done (except for the Fare Difference, if any). Finally after a 20 min wait on one day, I got hold of someone and after checking the availability for the new date, she mentioned that it would be the Fare Deptt who would be able to tell me the Price ! She then transferred me and the line got disconnected after 40 mins. She confirmed that someone would call me back on my number (which I updated). A week and past the travel date, no call back from anyone ! I even sent emails, only to be given the same contact numbers that I have trying unsuccessfully. B'lore airport was a mess. Had 2 hours layoff for the outbound Flight. 1) Only 1 Counter for Foreign Passports and the guy was super slow, taking 20 mins for each person. 2) Luggage for hardly 50 passengers takes more than 30 mins. 3) No one in Air India knows where to deposit the luggage for the connecting Air India Flight. Someone asked me to just put it on the conveyor Belt, which I did, only to run and retrieve it later. 4) 500+ people in Q for Security early morning at 5:00. 5) Display was showing Gate No 6 for Kolkata (Air India). On reaching Gate 6, they said it was Spice Jet only and asked me to wait. It was 5:45 and scheduled departure was 5:50 and display showing Boarding from Gate 6. On asking a 2nd lady, she says, it's Gate 4. No one in Gate 4. Then someone says Gate 2, which is not even on the same Floor. Escalator only coming down, not going up. Mad rush for a lift and finally it was Gate 2 and just escaped missing the Flight by seconds. From their attitude, they wouldn't have bothered leaving a few passengers with Boarding passes behind (doubt very much if all connecting passengers made through on time). No announcements, not even interested when I mentioned that the display was showing wrong Gate info.

Tata airline after nationalisation has gone from bad to worse.people in India are waiting to go after tata's new airline Vista to become international. On recent travel by airline I found the suitcase badly damaged it seemed intentionally. Two years ago some on had urinated on the suitcase.all wet and stinking of urine. The complaint at the airport everyone although made me wait 2 hours with no action. Others said the loaders are to blame and they are very powerful lot. Recent journey the suitcase damages intentionally. Now I just booked other airline to fly to mumbai [I fly 3 to 4 times year]never to fly airindia even if it were the only airline

the worst experience ever, onward journey from London to Delhi the set would not go back, foot rest broken and screen not working. no screens working at all from delhi to Colombo back and forth. on the return flight from colombo to Delhi there were no food choices left only vegetarian. had to put up with it and the passenger next to me had half of his arm on my side, so I had to lean towards my son to get some sleep.

Always late, the staff rude and difficult to find, the food horrible, the entertainment system didn't work half of the time, the toilets in bad condition with tape and hand written notes of don't use this or flush by pushing that, etc. The interior of the plane dirty and in bad condition (you opened the overhead compartment and you can end with a part of the door in you hand), the smell in the plane was very bad, in general a horrible experience. The worse was that they retained our passports and didn't let us to go out of the plane until Italian authorities confirmed that people from my country don't need visa schengen, even when you can see it in the Internet. This is expensive at any price.

I have travelled with air india in december. The prices were cheap in comparison to other airlines. The services provided to me was not bad. I booked my ticket and then had a look on all these reviews. I was scared to be honest at first. But don't see anything which is said in earlier comments and reviews. Flight was on time, food was good, services can be better no doubt about that but still fair.

I have read the reviews and I am scared to bits, I have not even boarded the plane and it makes me want to curl in a ball and cry. Maybe I should walk it from London to Delhi. At least it is safer!

For the first time I had a chance to fly with air india. TBH I can't find any fault with there flight or anything which is mentioned in previous comments. I was scared when I booked my flight and then had a look on reviews. I had a good flight and charges were reasonable. Moreover my flight was way ahead of time. We reached heathrow one hour before that is great. I would recommend AI to everyone. Before making an assumptions I would say fly with them and see yourself.

I had a chance to fly with air india from india to uk. Flight was fine and air hostess were friendly. My only concern was I got pod which was broken and some buttons were missing. I will fly with them again. The flight was good well on time too.

My AI flight 409 on February 20 was changed twice by air line and still the flight was delayed by more than an hour which caused to miss my connecting flight . I was forced to stay in a hotel over night in New delhi. My Hotel reservation at Mumbai had to be redone at a higher rate and was an extra expense to me . Air India has habitual answer to deny a confirm domestic flight . I paid them in Dollars two months before my trip and still i had hard time running from Air port controller to the booking counter to make sure to get a confirmed flight . Also I travelled as international passenger from N.Y but after reaching New delhi , i was subjected to 15 KG luggage weight and i was charged $94 for the over weight . They again charged me RS. 15,00 for going to Mumbai . The flight which was supposed to go to Mumbai all on a sudden without our information went to Poona and from there flew to Mumbai which killed our time for two hours . Air India must compensate for the extra expenses , lost time and inconvenience to International passengers because International passengers are always on a times schedules .

I have travelled with Air India few times. For the budgeted airlines is one of the top choices. The planes are good the food is amazing. Nothing much to complain. They can work on air hostesses skills they are not friendly sometimes. That is the only area I think they need to improve on.

I have travelled with Air India recently my experience with them was one of the best. The Indian food they provided on board was quite good. I am not into chilly too much but the food was balanced not to spicy. The seats were good and nice movie library as well. I would like to recommend Air India to everyone who is fan of indian food and its cheaper then other airlines and well on time with there flights take off and arriving times.

This is the WORST airline EVER !! The staff are rude and ignorant had ONE drink on a 9 hour flight and its not just on the plane !!! The Ground staff lied continually ,during our 31.5 hour delay in Delhi ,Leaving us to find a lounge to sleep in at our own cost ,Laughed when we complained ,walked us to the bottom of a staircase and then actually RAN back up it and left us there !!! Answered phones that didn't ring so they could walk away and leave us , i would rather BURN my money than give it to Air India !!!! DO NOT FLY WITH THIS COMPANY !!! I wish i could give it less than one star !!!

Air India do not respect safety rules. I flew recently from Delhi to Bhopal. They do not car if passengers do not switch off their mobiles during take off and landing. We complained with the crew but they smiled and did noting.

Guys don't ever book these AIR INDIA...It is waste of money. AIR INDIA staff and manager never cooperate ..Poor customer service...All staff are mental.worst flight ever

My flight time was 6:40 Chennai-Delhi, i reach airport in time get scan my baggage when i go to counter to get my original ticket they said my weight is exceeded with 2 kg..ok i said i will take it out few things and handled over to my friend who is waiting outside,the person in counter said ok i will wait..i just went for 2min and came the counter person said counter closed..what kind of customer service is this and supervisor and manager are same no refundable,no arrange for another flight..or they never listen to my world..I WILL NEVER EVER FLEW IN AIR INDIA AND WON"T NEVER RECOMMEND TO MY RELATIVES AND FRIEND,THE WORST FLIGHT..REALLY SUCKS I LOST MY MONEY..THE OCCURRENCE AREA IS CHENNAI AIRPORT AND I REALLY HATE THE SUPERVISOR LADY..

B777-300ER. Economy class. reading light didn't work, footrest broken, AVOD didn't work. Cabin filthy with waste tissues and rubbish strewn round cabin . Toilets filthy with urine on floor and used tissues on floor. Childs soiled nappy hanging out of bin. Female cabin crew looked scruffy. They were rude, unhelpful and thoroughly unprofessional. Food was terrible. AVOD "entertainment" choices were very poor. Films outdated and TV choices were very poor. There was nothing to like about Air India. They fail at every level and do not understand or seem to care about their customers. Their customer offer is extremely poor. I am not surprised that the FAA has downgraded them for poor oversight. Avoid this second rate airline at all costs.

I book my flight with air india after I read the review I want to cancel it but flight center take a responsibility if any thing happen they will arrange new flight then I decide to go with air India , flight from singapore service was good , food was delicious staff was nice flight on time and it's same on the way back to singapore .according to me staff treat to you how you treat them I will travel again with airindia .

Worst decision ever made. Never travel with air india
