god this sounds so hectic!! i’ll definitely help out a mom in need the next time i’m in an airport, never considered these things before i watched this video
Yeah, me too!
I had a similar experience when i travelled with my baby, solo. But i couldn't get the promised assistance by Indigo. Thankful to an amazing elderly lady who helped with so many things! If not for her i wouldn't be able to manage my travel with an infant
Omg!! Also how is it that it’s always someone elderly or someone who needs help themselves who are most likely to help 🥲 everyone else is in their own worlds
this was which country/city airport?
Oh Indigo is worst. They NEVER help. Guess the airlines is not paying the staffs enough. They just don’t care if you’re flying with an infant or need any help.
Omg…I can’t even imagine how you got through that….and there’s nothing so heartbreaking as your baby sobbing and wailing. Thank god for helpful airline staff and helpful people. I’m so glad that you all got back home to India safe and sound after all that chaos
Air India? Why? 😂
Because air India’s only allows
Idk. So glad she finally went in sq.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I have been living in Singapore for 12 years now. Mother of a 5 year old and 3 week old… few tips for all travellers who are new born mom
1. Singapore is the most mom friendly country, the airport has many nursing rooms, every toilet area has diaper changing unit
2. When travelling in the airport, loose the stroller and invest in a baby carrier
3. Always opt for Singapore airlines, pump some milk (the air hostess will keep the milk in the fridge and warm it up when baby is hungry. Same applies for formula)
Always baby carrier + trolley diaper bag is the key to success
True
omg i remember seeing your reel asking about info and i just wished yall have a smooth experience w a baby and a pet dog...my heart ached as a previous pet parent seeing him in a carrier :") im glad yall reached back safe after that agonizing experience!
@@sanjana1114 🥲 thank you
I am so sorry for your experience ! I was equally stressed listening to your story! Thanks for sharing the “ thermostat “ policy -- which is something one would have never known. Praise God for Hid provision and safety through it all !!❤
@@xenaprasadthomas2385 oh yeah! I had no idea that it could even get spoilt on aircrafts so regularly lol - and yes God’s grace completely 🙏
I never comment on UA-cam videos but I just had to tell you that every video of yours feels like a heartfelt conversation with an older wiser sister. You came across as such a genuine wonderful person and this entire ordeal makes me wish I could give you a warm hug rn. Here's to hoping the rest of your transition to India goes smoothly❤

I love these videos , you are genuinely helping us by sharing your experience ❤
Hugs 🤗 ❤ you have so much strength and patience 💕
your videos are always so good and brings such a positive vibe when I watch em✨🦋❤️
kuddos to you for making amazing content and I hope your baby and dog doing good.
best to you satshya❤️
Why Air India is a very valid question. Like you, I thought Tatas would revamp the airline but staff that is lazy as hell will never allow change to come through (thanks to trade unions). I just flew Air India yesterday and I was sweating at 35,000 feet! What an ordeal you had! Glad angels paved your way despite it all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey you can't change a government organisation which has deep rooted for more than 15 years you have to clean it will take time
I have a general feeling that air travel is not fun anymore, there’s always cancellations, luggage missing, confusion, stress and what not
satshya 1st of all its realy good that u reached here safely ,thanx for sharing this video,realy very helpfull,i like the way u r talking very matured and also kind,tk cr urself and ur baby..😍
These are the kind of experiences where although it is difficult also makes you believe that there are still good people around us.
Oh man, what an ordeal . It is true that God puts us in strange situations when we least expect it. Loads of love to all of you, extra kisses to Tara and Tonu.❤from Sullia .
Thanks for sharing your experience... really helps !!!
More power to you Satshya!
Sorry, but booking with Air India when you have the option of taking Singapore Airlines is not the wisest decision. I am sorry you had to go through it.
I hope you know there are many aspects that affect a flight. They probably booked it because it was matching with their schedule or budget or arrival time. As she said, a 5 hour flight scheduled to move around 5:30 am. Maybe they wanted to land in the morning? It’s not their fault, they can’t see the future either 🙂
@@bhavyasaxena_ You mean well, but its a well know fact Air India has been going through a lot of changes. it should only be natural for people to do their research and modify as needed. Come on lets be real here.
AirIndia and Indigo are budget friendly, meanwhile SNG Air is a costlier. I believe there is a differnece in the frequency as well. I have travelled with Indigo and SNG Air before but never with AirIndia. I would personally prefer Indigo over Air India as they allow Single bag weighing around 30KG for checkin, meanwhile it's 23 for Air India. If you know the difference between local buses VS AC coach in India, that's usually the difference and you notice alot more difference in the airport itself starting with the self checkin Kiosks. (They don't exist)
You're right... But Singapore Airlines own 25% of Air India
I teared up seeing this..I know how it feels seeing our baby cry and feeling helpless.... This entire anxiety is the reason we mothers think twice before travelling long distance with new borns..and in such situations it becomes further more difficult..kudos to you for handling it so well..🫂
I feel for you. I am so sorry to hear what you went through. My husband and I went through some really bad experience with Air India ourselves. The same happened with my brother and some of our friends. I would personally never book Air India and would suggest the same to everyone.
Omg that sounds sooo stress full😢
I think throughout this video I could really feel the warmth in the bond shared between u and ur hubby .It's great to have such partners.
i got all emotional watching this video...god bless you for your resilience..
Thank you for prioritising your dog!
Sorry you had to go through so much. I did not see your prev reel but I travelled with my newborn ~6 times within India and I carried her in baby carrier(kolkol adjustible). Babies are usually calmer when closer to the mother, so they dont cry much. She is 1.5 years now and I hardly used the stroller even for walks. I see stroller as the most useless purchase I made.
Brave girl !!! .. you will always remember this flight
Omg.. i could feel the stress watching the video.. so sad you had to go through this... glad everything worked out...
Gosh, I feel like crying. I hate all this happened to you.. and so glad you are all safe now. Take care, pookie 🥹
Hi Satshya, sorry you had to go through such a terrible situation. I have heard only negative about AirIndia flights and it is sad that the airline is not taking any action to improve their flights and policies even after several negative reviews.
About travelling alone with baby, I agree that it is a hectic situation but somethings can be made smooth by using a good baby carrier, that way your baby will always be close to you which makes the baby feel safe and comfortable their first six months, also both your hands will be free. Also only diaper bag when travelling with baby, no other luggage. So these are two things that can make it a little easy, if ever you need to travel in the future. Good to know that your husband and pet joined you finally after the initial struggle.
So sorry this happened. I hope you forget this experience with a nice experience
So sorry you had to go through this. I feel you. Travelling with a baby of any age is difficult. A small helpful tip could be while travelling to put the baby in a body carrier instead of a trolley. I understand it will be difficult carrying that weight for long, but baby will be super comfortable being so close to your body and will sleep or be calm most of the time. I suggest an cloth wrap or a carrier like the ergobaby carrier. I have used both and it was so comfortable. Still use it for my 2 year old son. God bless you :)
Eventhough the info doesn't concern me at all...😂 But still love to watch satshya chechi ranting😂❤
This is also a message to the people including me watching...never miss to help a mother in need ..bucause ..you now know why.❤
Hi.. I can totally understand what you went through travelling with baby. I have travelled with my lil girl all alone just a few days after my delivery. You can book assistance of the airlines you travel with.. they assist you through the entire process then till your aircraft both at arrival and departure.. n it’s totally free of cost. You just need to state the reason and rest is totally taken care of by the airlines.. n it’s free of cost. Hope it helps..
when do you do this? while paying for the airline ticket??
I can feel u and kudos to u were travelling with baby who is less than year.... Travelling with a toddler is even more difficult bcz they have temper tantrums that too in a midnight flight.... The airline staff were so helpful and that was not an indian airline company.
If I meet u I delhi..... I am gonna burst of from happiness as I live in delhi❤
Did the air india refund your ticket price back
My first travel with my kid alone was Singapore to India... She was slightly older but it's never easy... 2 things I feel would be helpful is 1) carry only a backpack both hands needs to be free 2) carry ample snacks and toy/ books which the kid likes to engage them...
Your experience sounds like a whirlwind! It's incredible how you managed it all. How is everyone adjusting now that you're settled in India?
I clicked as soon as I read the title for future reference 🤣🤪😉
@@Stefnabakes ohooo hope this never happens to you 🙈🙈
@@SatshyaTharien Hope it doesn't happen to anyone. 🥹🤦♀️😭
Omg, this whole experience feels so helpless. So traumatizing, I can't imagine how you handled it all so well. The power of motherhood, tho.
Next time, you can also look out for a prayer room in case you don't find a feeding room. So nice of all those who helped you.
The thermostat not working in the hold is a really common problem, airlines mostly put cargo there and don’t bother maintaining the split cargo area.
My mom used to be a pilot for United Airlines and accidentally froze some prize racehorses of a UAE Sheikh flying from the US to Dubai for a race. She has hundreds of stories of animals freezing, so common that despite being an animal lover she’s ambivalent about it as if it’s a regular occurrence.
There is one airline my mom said is really really REALLY good about being pet friendly, it’s not just PR and they absolutely guarantee 100% any size dog or cat in the cabin (as long as it fits in the standard soft crate etc), and that’s the Dutch national carrier KLM. She never worked for them but she said when she had to do layovers and fly with them between airports and saw they always had pets onboard and the crew loved pampering them. They also fly to India and Singapore… That said she wouldn’t recommend them for anything else other than flying with pets.
Air india has such weird stuff . My sons passport expired during the covid and they said that we cant travel back to india . So embassy opened only for us to renew the passport in 3 hours . Then we could travel. The policy is that you can travel back to home country even if the passport expired with no transit within a year .air indian staff did not know that .
So did the air india refund you the price or it was money loss too? 😭
Ohh, i remember flying with my daughter who was an infant then. It was a short 45 minutes domestic flight but i had absolutely no help. It was air india too, and all i got were snide comments from the crew. That was the day i decided to never fly air india, ever again. If domestic itself was so bad, i could only imagine what international travel would feel like. Good riddance!
Hello Satshya omg i can completely relate this i shifted from India to Bangkok 2 weeks back alone with a child and an infant.. My hubby had already shifted last year.. Its so so so painful when kids cry and dont cooperate my lil one slept throughout the flight but before and after that was horrible thanks to an Indian family who helped for the baggage claim.. I couldn't get assistance.. Omg i had to take a painkiller immediately when i boarded the flight.. Worst part it was second day of my period too.. I could feel your tears.
hey.. you will get better travelling with baby .. believe me.. just plan ahead .. like many airline gives facility assistance to special needs.. who could have ascorted you at the time of boarding.. 2nd point all babies cry so dont ashamed what people will think.. let them think .. 3rd point at the time of take off and landing feed her so that it will ease her ears pressure
i travelled alone from germany to india on a 9 hr flight and had a terrible experience, literally no help with the ones sitting beside me staring at me whenever i fed or the baby cried. heavy baggages, airline rejecting the stroller and making me walk a kilometer to drop it off. in the ehavy baggage area. i really could imagine the pain when you mentioned everything
OMG!! I too had a very bad experience with AirIndia. I had to travel alone with my 6month old from Canada to Bangalore.
Most of the airports have feeding/changing rooms. And whenever airport staff see a solo parent with infant/toddler, they jump into action to help out. Can never complain about that.
Air India is crazy in every case
I have no child. No pet. Why am I crying watching this??
Hey, I really wish we had met before you moved. I would have told you all this. Whenever travelling with a baby, travel in the airlines which has its head office in that city. Like SA for SG, Malaysian Airlines for Kuala Lumpur etc. That way, they are better geared for emergencies. Changi is one of the best airports in the world & nowhere else you get feeding rooms like here. Also, there is a Changi app which helps you locate facilities like toilets/feeding room etc. Contrary to popular belief, people always help a single mom who is travelling. I travelled with my toddler alone from Bombay to Chennai who screamed & brought the roof down at Mumbai Airport travel. This was some 10yrs back when facilities were even less. Everyone helped me. Glad you all are safely settled in Delhi. Trust me, after sometime, you will be able to even joke bout this experience even though it is traumatic now. All's well that ends well. PS: you will DEFINITELY get an opportunity to pay forward the love you received. I do it all the time. The best feeling is to give without any expectation of return benefits. Take care!
Hi satshya I am a hugeeeee fan lysmmm ♥️♥️
Ohh please get a baby carrier it’s a life saver for flights. Both your hands are free. I loved my baby bjorn
Aww poor thing you guys had to through all this! I can understand. I’m very curious to know how is Tonu adapting in India? Did he have any cultural shock lol! Just want to know how is he liking India so far???? Tell us about it
Out of curiosity why did you move back? Isn't Singapore a developed country with security?
India is love
I assume with her having a baby and being on maternity leave, it made more sense to move back home where she would have more support from her in-laws for raising her baby.
good uve addressed to all of us.... @Airindia hello...
I was like Air India is the best...up until this vid i.e..thank u for this reality check..
Am watching this in case i ever adopt a dog and if i travel ahhh future plans with no bank balance huduuuuu
Singapore airport is one of the best in the world. I think you should have booked an assistance , it would have been a lot smoother. Its for free😅
Can only imagine how hard that would've been for you guys
Everyone, Please help a mother if you see her struggling alone with a baby!
The stories i have heard about pets on airlines. Majority i saw said "NEVER ever let your dog travel in that cargo NO." even if good facility provided by any airline. just no. dont trust any airline whether the best or average or whatever!!!! Try your best to take them with you in the flight get em a seat or even if not just hold em idk if allowed but never.
We know its expensive as people who cant afford much during travel its already a lot of expense, so THIS is one of the reasons people just avoid taking them to flight (and ofcrs having a place where dogs might not be allowed or how who will look after them at another place, and yeah if they know airline facility then ofcrs they wont, etc etc) , even for a month or 2 travel they leave the pet with someone , or if they dont then at a pet car. So there is not much UK PUBLIC LEARNING about THIS specific situation as it happens rarely and so airline staff (Specially the worker who dont have specialisation and are there to just lift, dont know how to handle pet luggage) might not even know this can happen and have some guidance for that or facility AT ALL STAGES of boarding to landing. But still try your best even in international flight to seek some way of having pet with u or safe transport. Cause the stories were so bad, the rough handling of pet with those luggages were awful, MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ATMOSPHERE THEY GET THERE, SUFFOCATED IN THE BACK OR LOWER SIDE OF PLANE WITH literally nothing but really small place. ITS BAD. Very few even said the cage of the pet was DAMAGED while pet was there when it came out like imagine!!!
also i have seen BIG ASS FLUFFY dogs on plane , i think thrice big as yours lol (idk if it was an international flight) but yeah that dog even has a personal insta acc i guess really famous dog, its huge white fluffy and travelled on flight in normal economy seats. so i guess there MIGHTTT be some flights like that but if not then cant help , they gotta travel . But hopefully we get to see better services in future.
@@checkmateyourhighness1047 ya I really wish there was a provision for bigger dogs to travel in cabin but unfortunately it’s only available in Europe & US. The only other option was a private jet which we couldn’t afford 😭
Hi in air india nothing works not just the thermostat we fled recently from India to US the tray tables were broken, the entertainment was not working.. air india standards have gone down very badly hope change happens soon
I just saw this video, I'll be travelling with my baby via air india in next month and I am already freaking out now.
Babe, air india pet travel is infamous on utube..
LOVE UR VIDSSSSSSSS
Hi i am so sorry abt ur experience. I too moved from SG to India and flew AI becuz it was the tail end of Covid and only Vande Bharat flts were operating. I too flew with a dog but thankfully my daughter was a teen. My experience with AI was completely opposite of urs. At Changi my Coco started creating a racket in his carrier, i was near tears thinking what is going to happen. AI was amazing the ground staff spoke with the pilot and got permission fr us to take Coco in cabin. Gave us seats at the back of the plane,leaving seats nearby empty. Coco is a small dog so he just sat on my lap and slept thru most of the flt. I am eternally grateful to God and AI staff fr all the help they gave me
@@anujoshi209 aaw im so glad you had a good experience :) I guess it helped that coco is a smaller dog 🫶
So sorry about this! But you must get a baby carrier - it’s the most useful thing ever when travelling with a baby!
Finally it is EEEEEASSSSYYY!!!!!!
So happy for you new mom easyyyyyyy
Love it 🤩
Each time I fly into India, there is always 1 or 2 screaming babies - making the flight horrible. I have flown other parts in the world, there isn’t such a problem.
I think non Indians are mindful that taking their baby on flight can be difficult for the baby, so they wait till the baby is older. I think that even their toddlers are better behaved too on flight.
Who found her randomly on UA-cam and never dared to miss a video or short of her
👇like.
Definitely was a hassle, but you made it felt like climbing Everest. Better planning would have helped
Haha the way everything was planned so meticulously but the one thing (Air India) just upended all plans 😅
Who Watching This Video While Lying On Bed🌝😂🫂
Hahaha mee 🙌🏽
😂🖐️
😂🖐️
Us bruh us , lazy people 😭
😂
I would have never choosen air India travelling with a baby and dog I would always opt for Singapore airlines
I had the worst experience with Air India while traveling with my infant. The flight got rescheduled at the last moment and our connection flight was only available the next day. They were not even ready to provide us accommodation when we landed in Delhi. And I am sitting there with my 4 month old waiting for the staff to come 😢😢 and he was sitting there lazily and the security would not even let us go through to talk .. I had to wait for so long to get the accommodation.. The worst experience in my life
Oh goodness! I’m feeling so stressed reading this - so sorry you had to go through that
I had a very bad experience flying domestic in Air india and they have become more and more worst - so the day I had this terrible experience. I complained on all of their Social media handles, no reply and then on Twitter, I found each min 1 complain is coming from someone who has flied on airindia on their page and I'm not even exagggerating. The same day, among the huge number of complaints put on Social Media, one man's luggage bag was lock broken and the bag was opened and cash was stolen by AirIndia. I stopped booking AirIndia after that and am still in that trauma of that experience which happened with me, don't think I'll be able to forget that ever.
OMGGGGG I hope you got your money back from Air India

travelling with a pet without what sounds like little to no research was on you girl. I know you are a new parent and have a lot on your plate. My sympathies are with you.
Yes it’s all their fault that a large airline was arbitrary and unprofessional and screwed up what should be a routine process
Sorry for your experience 😢...how old was your baby when you were traveling..
3 months 😶🌫️
Shocking!!! Air india played its advertisement in youtube just before this video started. So basically Air India is paying for its bad review. Its really terrible experience Satshya, I totally understand how it feels
Air India in general is probably one of the worst airlines, but their negligence & nonchalance in your case was just infuriating. Hope they atleast refunded the amount to you...
❤
Thats quite an experience to have with a baby and a pet...I could feel helplessness showing up but the best part is when you called upon the LORD JESUS and He surely doesn't disappoint ... PRAISE GOD for everything coz you never know when you will turn to be a blessing, it only comes by receiving a blessing that you value being a blessing to others... things we as a Child of God learn :)
Air india is such worst flight I've ever been to
