9 Hours in Air India NEW FIRST CLASS - Is It Worth It? - London to Mumbai

  • I flew from London to Mumbai with Air India to try out their NEW First Class seat. Now that Air India is privately owned, the airline is trying to become more premium. Especially, Air India is adding a total of six former Etihad Airways Boeing 777s to its fleet recently. So it means Air India has doors on its first class suites. I think this is a massive improvement over Air India’s previous First Class product. Check out the vlog.

    I think Air India has improved a lot under the new management. However, there're still rooms for improvement. For example, as you've rightfully pointed out - plastic ziploc bag for cutleries is really a no-no. Also, the inconsistency in the use of its livery. By the way, I am impressed by your decision to choose the Indian main course! Service by the cabin crew seemed good. Hope they can continue to strive to up their service level. 😉

    • @JangsuAviation
      @JangsuAviation  5 місяців тому +14

      Thank you so much, sunrayz81 for your 'Super Thanks'😊🙏 I always appreciate your support. Unfortunately, the options for main dish were not very attractive, so the Indian main course was only option for me. The airline is investing hugely in modernizing its fleet and improving the passenger experience, so I think it will be interesting to see how Air India will improve its first class services in a few years.

    They must have loaded the food from London. AI's New Delhi kitchen rarely gets bad food reviews. Good food (Great Indian Food) and the friendly, attentive & warm Cabin Crew are the biggest positives of AI's premium product across the airline. AI should focus on the catering company and standards. With the hard and soft products improving significantly, AI must not lose its grip on service and food. The airline is taking strides in the right direction.

    3 days they messaged that the flight is Cancelled for the 17th Flight & 5 days before for 7th June.
    I had to buy an Indigo ticket at a much higher price for 3 people.

    AI should do away with First Class. This is an archaic concept these days, and since it is only on a small sub-fleet there will always be destinations where it isn't available. Instead, they should expand and update business class to the standards of the world's best airlines (and build a premium economy brand).

    Many thanks for sharing. Interesting to see how Air India are progressing. The hard product already looks a lot better and the service, as nearly always, appears attentive but there are still a number of areas where further improvements are possible/required if it wishes to rival the market leaders. The F&B is obviously still well behind competitors' offerings and even the smaller touches like priority/separate boarding and escorting passengers to their seats should be easy, quick wins.
    Out of interest, which lounges were able to be accessed at LHR with a First ticket?

    AI hub is DEL airport. Generally catering from home hub airport is better. But looks like AI is not upto the mark.
    AI got 6 ex-delta, 6 -ex-Etihad, and 3-ex-Singapore flights on lease as a stop gap measure.
    This is a Ex-Etihad flight. around 10 years old aircraft.
    Service in 1st class will be fine as its the pinnacle of luxury.
    But cutlery in plastic bag, pale and dry entrees, lack of tasty food make it really unappealing.
    AI has a long way to go. But their ground staff handling of baggage, Pilots rostering, their Merger with Vistara - are all a big mess.
    AI cannot be atleast 25% of what ME3, SIA are as of today by 2030.
    Right now their product is a lot uneven. So cabin crew, booking,service, amenities also have hard time to keep up with this.
    The true measure of their turnaround will be visible after 1 year from today, where in by mid2025, AI wholly owned 777-200 LR and 300ER undergo cabin refurbishing. so once the cabin starts getting standardized, may be then it might be a better way to judge.
    But in my opinion, don't keep any high hopes. I think AI's vihaan.ai - 5 year turnaround plan is just to get things running, but the baggage from the mismanagement of the GoI is too big and its deeply rooted in its work culture.

    just did a return economy flight Sydney to Delhi with Air India last week (12.04.24-21.04.24). My seat for Both flights was exit row 11j. sydney to delhi no headphones for whole flight , food was below average if you comapre the price they charge and with almost same price what Singapore Airline offers.
    On my way back to sydney there were headphones but my IFE screen was broken had no power and had surgical tapes to hold it toghether.
    I felt cheated and regreted why I booked with this airline . Food portion were small ,presntation was worse and the taste was very bad.
    Don't fall in trap that it is run by a big private comapny now and has improved. All rubbish only good for elderly and people flying first time to Sydney.
