Wow it's very rare to see a captain explaining the flight mechanics outside the cockpit which is good for the safety of the flight. Good job air India.
With it being a 17 hour flight I guess that they are flying with two captains and two first officers. So it might give them a bit more leeway. I do think that it's need that they can take out that tablet out of the cockpit. I would love to have something like that detailed information in the entertainment system on the flight.
Banglore T2, is the best out of all. The Delhi, Mumbai airports are loosing their shine honestly. Chennai is litreally the worst airport in India. The Navi Mumbai Airport and the new Airport for Chennai is our only hope.
Wait for the Transition period to get over it will take time but you should try the full new experience. Currently due to supply chain delays many of their original Interiors planned to be rolled out may get delayed by 3-4 months
Just imagine if an Indian vlogger goes to the British airways pilot and ask him the permission to shoot the cockpit ,do you think the pilot will allow ?
As a son of a former Indian Airlines employee, I'm loving the new Air India. I do miss the Air India jharokha windows from the old 747's, their iconic interiors and their Maharaja, but change is good. I truly appreciate Capt Khan for explaining the flight mechanics and the smiling faces of the crew. Indian passengers are demanding and challenging on Indian Airline crew, but their service is amazing. Air India has over 20 menus including Jain Diabetic etc unlike any other airline. Hope the aging 777's get replaced soon by the 350's for the US routes.
A350 can't replace B777 not in coming 5 yrs...AI operates 9 flights daily to USA. And only 6 A350 ordered as of now. So how come A350 will gonna replace??
@@arpansonawane6027Not 6 a350s but 40 of them. 900s and 1000s in a 50:50 split. Out of them 6 will be delivered from 900s by june this year (2 of them are already delivered. Latest one just reached today). So yeah they will slowly replace the 777s in the coming years.
@@jerryuma Boeing is not safe?? Boeing has 0.08 crash rate in every 1 million take off/Landing. Airbus has 0.07 per million.... Now 98% crash happen due to pilot error... You can't judge a whole company by 2 accident..
I like Sam being critical - we need more people to give honest opinions about any service (airline, hotel, rail, whatever) to push them to be better. As a passenger, I am excited for the future of Air India. I just flew them in economy from JFK-BOM and it felt like a major transitional phase. Some things are great, some are okay, some need big improvements. Here's hoping we get a better AI so we get more options to travel and better prices.
The 777-200LR is definitely something. Having a larger fuel capacity than most, if not all, twin jets. Yet Flying at Mach 1 in a subsonic jet is just incredible!

I was in San Francisco during September/October 23 and very happy to see an Air India flight there. For me, Air India flight always stands out due to it`s livery and also being an Indian basically. I had only flown with Air India only twice, from London to Mumbai and then to Kochi in Feb 2017. Had seen Air India flights in New York, Melbourne, Bangkok and Singapore which makes me happy. Air India never flew to Adelaide in South Australia; but during Covid times around Aug 2020, there were some repatriation flights between Delhi and Adelaide and took some photos. Later on, Air India had two flights transiting via Adelaide, one from Sydney and the next from Melbourne to Delhi, but their Delhi to Sydney or Melbourne were direct. Both these service via Adelaide has since been scrapped. I had flown to the new Bengaluru airport from London and then to Kochi in Jan 2009 with the defunct King Fisher airlines. Air India should provide WIFI service to flights especially the long haul ones.

What a wonderful trip Sam! Keep up the great work my brother! Also I hope you enjoyed the flights on AI & hopefully the new Air India 🇮🇳 can keep up the good work! Also what a BEAUTIFUL old bird that 777-200LR very rare to find any -200LR operators today now that DL has retired all of theirs! Well except for that FORMER DELTA now AI 777-200LR I have fond memories on that very 777-200LR I flew it to Rome Italy 🇮🇹 from Atlanta GA 🇺🇸 back in 2017! I miss her but glad she’s still flying and maybe when I fly AI I’ll fly her again! Also 808 MPH is officially SUPERSONIC and in a 777! Supersonic btw is 767.24 MPH! Finally will Air India 🇮🇳 keep those former Delta cabins I hope so they look great! Cheers 🥂 mate!
Thanks, Sam. I loved you narrating a bit about technicalities here and there, which is most welcome and perhaps adds to knowing about flights better. Amazing that Pilot shared interesting details; we never get to see this often. Overall, a good share. Thanks once again and look forward to more.
I actually don’t mind if the wifi isn’t working on a flight. It’s a good opportunity to have time away from emails and the mobile phone! Peace and ‘me time’!
You're correct with the meals. It looked like overcooked and lacked freshness. Probably the catering needs to prioritise the food standards based on the routes and also the packaging.
@@SamChui sam visit indian Islands lakshawadeep Islands and Andaman and nicobar islands 🇮🇳. And states like kerala. Kerala to lakshawadeep islands atr72/42 the route is so beautiful with torque blue water
Akasa is just like any other low-budget airlines. Took a very short flight from Chennai to Bangalore earlier this week. Charged Rs. 550 extra for 1 kg over weight on ckecked luggage. No hot drinks served due to short flight. Booked and paid for food inflight but handed some muffin in a box and some juice packet. Young, enthusiastic, busy bee crew. The pilot hard landed the MAX but safe. OK, overall.
This was a nice 777-200 LR ex Delta. The original Air India ones are very tired and not thoroughly clean inside and out. Hopefully TATA has new interiors coming soon at least. Also you are right Indian airport security is the most picky and detailed in the world. Emptying everything electronic several times is daft as is the 5-6 ID/ ticket checks. In my recent flight where the DEL-ORD was delayed 10 hours (third time this has happened) they at least handled it better having arranged a hotel. The previous two times we were left to make our own arrangements and several of us stayed in the lounge for 24 hours. Agree with you on food. They could improve that fairly easily, especially the Indian options I’d think.
Capt your briefing on aircraft performance was absolutely beautiful....so crisp concise and ....sounds like an airforce briefing room👌👏 blue skies and safe landing...💪🇮🇳
Such an awesome interactive jovial pilot who wants to deep dive into the intricate things! 👌 🔥 ❤️ A captain indulging with an Avgeek is really rare. 🎉super happy for you Sam. Love from BLR 27R. (I stay close to this runway).
Back on 2006 I flew on air India when they flew out of Los Angeles on a clapped out 747….. even than it was the best flight to India I have ever had simply because the economy used those wide butt cushion seats. Food was awesome and free alcohol And I got drunk as a skunk with the uncle and auntie next to me. There was no internet no tv except for what came down from the ceiling. I’m glad. They are getting better and they will be number 1 again for international service. Come back to Los Angeles air India.
6:26 honestly, I do not need wi-fi on an airplane. Since it is a good place to disconnect from the world and just enjoying the time. In case of getting really bored, I have books and IFE
Despite the considerable break, the longest Air India flight from Bengaluru to San Francisco began its voyage. TATA, the very first and grand old symbol of Indian air travel, takes immense satisfaction in its voyage. I gladly sent my best wishes to the staff members who are providing compassionate and modest services to the passengers. For the past 15 years of coming to the United States, I have had several obstacles in transportation and at immigration checkpoints in two or three locations. And I happened to have a 3 to 9 hour stopover in the airport. Now, all of these laborious tasks will be completed pleasantly. Next, I'd want to thank Sam for sharing this fantastic footage with his viewers.👍
Connecting TWO TECH HUBS in world non stop. India is on the RISE and AIR INDIA following on. Food innovation on the Flight is to be improved to a higher level. GO GUYS.
Thank you & appreciate Sam for bringing out such a nice vlog on Long Haul Air India Flight. Its very very intresting to see Pilot explaning about the aircraft, his knowledge is superb. Your flight review is outstanding. Good to see cabin crew & passengers appreciating changes in Air India. TATA's will definitely turn Air India into Worlds favourite Airline in no time.
I am sure travelling by Air India in the coming years will be a sense of national pride . I think the brand Air India beautifully personifies India culture and its Rich heritage . It’s modern yet classic and these long haul flights will definitely give the experience that passengers are looking for . I wish Air India the best of the growth and success 😊😊😊 . Jai Hind !!
Air India is in transition phase and I believe TATA will going to make it dream airline for Indian as well Foreign to Travel. Positive- pleasant. 2)Clean and Hygenic flights , previous flights have Govt Bus like filling and smelling. 3)Food and drinks, although it good for Indians but for western food it should go with simple and basic. Negative- 1)Inflight Entertainment - still very difficult to pass time , very bad condition. 2)WiFi connectivity - it is must requirement but due to earlier Govt rule most aircraft don't have it. 3)Broken and not working system like TFT screens, lights and seats.
India is making remarkable progress, and I am very impressed that Indian airline operate flights to San Francisco. There is no comparison of Air India with Pakistan International Airline😥
Thank for covering this flight. Was in BLR this year during my first India trip ever. BLR is indeed stunning. Plus this suuuuper long flight o SFO, wow.
Air India has been under threat by khalisthani terror groups in the past few weeks…so checks have become a lot more stringent recently. Which is probably the reason for all that.
I learned from a friend, an Air India flight attendant, that if you want an airline with snazzy looks and pretty flight attendants, pick the other airlines. But if you want one whose crew will look after you like their own, in whose hands you can leave your aged parents to be looked after like their own, then pick Air India. I can vouch for that, and am happy to see it hasn’t changed. Also, this commentator is correct in that Air India’s passengers are more demanding. The same individuals behave much better with non-Indian airlines. The last time I flew Air India business class was about two decades ago. There was much more leg room, with nearly full recline seats, and the food was nothing short of sumptuous. But then again, today’s leg room and food are relatively inferior in all airlines, in nearly all classes, except perhaps the ultra-luxurious first classes, which I have not experienced.
Hi sam, Need an advice, I travel to finland by August with family 👪, there is a 5 hrs lay over in Munich I have only economy ticket, Do I have a cheaper price to book lounge
At 5:19, the engines sounds you hear are not a concern, rather they are prob a combo of your ears popping and the 'buzz-saw noise' produced when the tips of the engine's fan blades move at transonic speeds (speeds approaching or slightly exceeding the speed of sound). This happens when the engine is operating at high power settings, like during takeoff. You'd hear it too on a 787 or a350 if in a similar seat, during take off and climb. I've researched as I had a similar question as you.
As a passenger, every time when I am on the flight, I always get excited with anticipation to new destinations but I do feel a little nervous during take-off. Bon Voyage, from Toronto, Canada.
I know they’re going through a lot of good changes and it’s good to see Air India really stepping up to deliver the best products they can. However, on their long-haul flights, I can’t wait to see their new aircraft and what the new products will look like.
My last time I was flying out of New Delhi, there was a Delhi police officer for every nine steps I took asking to see my boarding pass. Its definitely overkill and unnecessary to have this done so repetatively.
Lovely Flight crew, graceful pilot and a comfortable flight... I am glad to see that things are improving and waiting to try the new planes they will induct.

It will actually be more than that due to take-off performance uses more fuel. Fuel in cruise flight is optimized by less fuel used.

I travel every year about 120 flights average and upto to 150k miles. a super Elite passanger. I most enjoyed on AirIndia business class. An extraordinary treatment! Older flights ware more enjoyable.

Bengaluru T2 - the best in India and definitely one of the best in the world.
Delhi airport is better. Trust me ( I live in bangalore and travel every month to delhi)
@@Iehenkaboda 😂Yeah surely better in terms of ppl jumping the queue and not following any discipline. Have travelled to delhi many times.
@@Iehenkabodaseriously dude. I can say Delhi airport should be worst airport in India in terms of immigration and they way it handle. Delhi is just big airport nothing much.
@@MrKumail123 The International terminal is so good. The domestic one is dog shit
@@MrKumail123Wait for jewar airport.
Captain explaining flight details is the best part, kudos to him.. ✨👍🏻👍🏻
What a wonderful trip Sam! Keep up the great work my brother! Also I hope you enjoyed the flights on AI & hopefully the new Air India 🇮🇳 can keep up the good work! Also what a BEAUTIFUL old bird that 777-200LR very rare to find any -200LR operators today now that DL has retired all of theirs! Well except for that FORMER DELTA now AI 777-200LR I have fond memories on that very 777-200LR I flew it to Rome Italy 🇮🇹 from Atlanta GA 🇺🇸 back in 2017! I miss her but glad she’s still flying and maybe when I fly AI I’ll fly her again! Also 808 MPH is officially SUPERSONIC and in a 777! Supersonic btw is 767.24 MPH! Finally will Air India 🇮🇳 keep those former Delta cabins I hope so they look great!
Cheers 🥂 mate!
The pilot is a really kind,knowledgeable,experienced and a great guy!!!
Thanks, Sam. I loved you narrating a bit about technicalities here and there, which is most welcome and perhaps adds to knowing about flights better. Amazing that Pilot shared interesting details; we never get to see this often. Overall, a good share. Thanks once again and look forward to more.
The captain was Wholesome!
I actually don’t mind if the wifi isn’t working on a flight. It’s a good opportunity to have time away from emails and the mobile phone! Peace and ‘me time’!

You're correct with the meals. It looked like overcooked and lacked freshness. Probably the catering needs to prioritise the food standards based on the routes and also the packaging.
Sam, I love your conversations with the crew so much! Would love to see a video in Akasa airlines too, heard they are also trying up their game.
Thank you! I always love the crew engagement part.
@@SamChui sam visit indian Islands lakshawadeep Islands and Andaman and nicobar islands 🇮🇳. And states like kerala.
Kerala to lakshawadeep islands atr72/42 the route is so beautiful with torque blue water
Akasa is just like any other low-budget airlines. Took a very short flight from Chennai to Bangalore earlier this week. Charged Rs. 550 extra for 1 kg over weight on ckecked luggage. No hot drinks served due to short flight. Booked and paid for food inflight but handed some muffin in a box and some juice packet. Young, enthusiastic, busy bee crew. The pilot hard landed the MAX but safe. OK, overall.
This was a nice 777-200 LR ex Delta. The original Air India ones are very tired and not thoroughly clean inside and out. Hopefully TATA has new interiors coming soon at least. Also you are right Indian airport security is the most picky and detailed in the world. Emptying everything electronic several times is daft as is the 5-6 ID/ ticket checks. In my recent flight where the DEL-ORD was delayed 10 hours (third time this has happened) they at least handled it better having arranged a hotel. The previous two times we were left to make our own arrangements and several of us stayed in the lounge for 24 hours. Agree with you on food. They could improve that fairly easily, especially the Indian options I’d think.
Nice to see you respecting my parents and my country 🇮🇳
It is very pride to travel In Air India. Hat's of Ratan Tataji bringing back to Tata Group.and always proud to travel in National carrier AIR INDIA❤
Hi from Bengaluru. Lots of thanks to the Captain for the explanation. Nice video to watch Sam. Thank you.😊
Capt your briefing on aircraft performance was absolutely beautiful....so crisp concise and ....sounds like an airforce briefing room👌👏 blue skies and safe landing...💪🇮🇳
Thanks for covering the BLR-SFO sector Sam ❤
Glad to note the changes that are taking place in our Air India...proud to be Indian
Such an awesome interactive jovial pilot who wants to deep dive into the intricate things! 👌 🔥 ❤️ A captain indulging with an Avgeek is really rare. 🎉super happy for you Sam.
Love from BLR 27R. (I stay close to this runway).
I love Bangalore International Airport, God bless Air India and Captain Mr. Khan vivid explanation looks very cool man.
When we see other parts of india and when we see this india there a huge difference .
Indeed! Can’t wait to fly on this bird….month of march please arrive soon 😊
Best airport in the world Proud on india growth.
Back on 2006 I flew on air India when they flew out of Los Angeles on a clapped out 747….. even than it was the best flight to India I have ever had simply because the economy used those wide butt cushion seats. Food was awesome and free alcohol And I got drunk as a skunk with the uncle and auntie next to me. There was no internet no tv except for what came down from the ceiling. I’m glad. They are getting better and they will be number 1 again for international service. Come back to Los Angeles air India.
Hello sir,
I am from India. This is first video that I like @ airplane.
Superb content 👍❤️
6:26 honestly, I do not need wi-fi on an airplane. Since it is a good place to disconnect from the world and just enjoying the time. In case of getting really bored, I have books and IFE
Such a great in-detailed explanation by Pilot about the flight status and internal details. He is throughly a gem and expert in his own role.
I am already seeing improvement. Good for Sam and Air India to showcase the changes
I would like TATA Air India to become the best airliner as it was when it was with TATA 🎉🎉🎉
Done👍
Despite the considerable break, the longest Air India flight from Bengaluru to San Francisco began its voyage. TATA, the very first and grand old symbol of Indian air travel, takes immense satisfaction in its voyage. I gladly sent my best wishes to the staff members who are providing compassionate and modest services to the passengers. For the past 15 years of coming to the United States, I have had several obstacles in transportation and at immigration checkpoints in two or three locations. And I happened to have a 3 to 9 hour stopover in the airport. Now, all of these laborious tasks will be completed pleasantly. Next, I'd want to thank Sam for sharing this fantastic footage with his viewers.👍
Connecting TWO TECH HUBS in world non stop. India is on the RISE and AIR INDIA following on. Food innovation on the Flight is to be improved to a higher level. GO GUYS.
Perhaps India to to Tokyo to sfo so they can add a few more flights
@@SFAvgeek that route sounds lot better but it’s hella expensive lol
Thank you & appreciate Sam for bringing out such a nice vlog on Long Haul Air India Flight. Its very very intresting to see Pilot explaning about the aircraft, his knowledge is superb. Your flight review is outstanding. Good to see cabin crew & passengers appreciating changes in Air India. TATA's will definitely turn Air India into Worlds favourite Airline in no time.
I wish that air India would come with original strength ❤❤❤❤
I wish I knew what you were trying to say.
Very smart young captain and very good staff, thank you Sam for the video👍👍
The gracious way in which you discuss areas for improvement is exemplary. Great job, yet again, Sam. Thanks for sharing
I am sure travelling by Air India in the coming years will be a sense of national pride . I think the brand Air India beautifully personifies India culture and its Rich heritage . It’s modern yet classic and these long haul flights will definitely give the experience that passengers are looking for . I wish Air India the best of the growth and success 😊😊😊 . Jai Hind !!
big fan of your videos .... hope Tata will improve the experience soon .... lots of love from India ...
Air India is in transition phase and I believe TATA will going to make it dream airline for Indian as well Foreign to Travel.
Positive-
pleasant.
2)Clean and Hygenic flights , previous flights have Govt Bus like filling and smelling.
3)Food and drinks, although it good for Indians but for western food it should go with simple and basic.
Negative-
1)Inflight Entertainment - still very difficult to pass time , very bad condition.
2)WiFi connectivity - it is must requirement but due to earlier Govt rule most aircraft don't have it.
3)Broken and not working system like TFT screens, lights and seats.
India is making remarkable progress, and I am very impressed that Indian airline operate flights to San Francisco. There is no comparison of Air India with Pakistan International Airline😥
Great video and loved the Captain - I am sure Tata will further improve Air India
Thank for covering this flight. Was in BLR this year during my first India trip ever. BLR is indeed stunning. Plus this suuuuper long flight o SFO, wow.
Great humble captain and wonderful explanation on his equipments. Hope one day I will see him in the Melbourne AirPort
Air India has been under threat by khalisthani terror groups in the past few weeks…so checks have become a lot more stringent recently. Which is probably the reason for all that.
I learned from a friend, an Air India flight attendant, that if you want an airline with snazzy looks and pretty flight attendants, pick the other airlines. But if you want one whose crew will look after you like their own, in whose hands you can leave your aged parents to be looked after like their own, then pick Air India.
I can vouch for that, and am happy to see it hasn’t changed.
Also, this commentator is correct in that Air India’s passengers are more demanding. The same individuals behave much better with non-Indian airlines.
The last time I flew Air India business class was about two decades ago. There was much more leg room, with nearly full recline seats, and the food was nothing short of sumptuous. But then again, today’s leg room and food are relatively inferior in all airlines, in nearly all classes, except perhaps the ultra-luxurious first classes, which I have not experienced.
Most incredible welcome and smile from air crew followed by :( please come)❤
Hi sam, Need an advice, I travel to finland by August with family 👪, there is a 5 hrs lay over in Munich I have only economy ticket, Do I have a cheaper price to book lounge
Good explain from the captain 👨✈️ love from Bangladesh ❤️ and I love air India ✈️
At 5:19, the engines sounds you hear are not a concern, rather they are prob a combo of your ears popping and the 'buzz-saw noise' produced when the tips of the engine's fan blades move at transonic speeds (speeds approaching or slightly exceeding the speed of sound). This happens when the engine is operating at high power settings, like during takeoff. You'd hear it too on a 787 or a350 if in a similar seat, during take off and climb. I've researched as I had a similar question as you.
The Captain was the highlight of this video!!
As a passenger, every time when I am on the flight, I always get excited with anticipation to new destinations but I do feel a little nervous during take-off. Bon Voyage, from Toronto, Canada.
Bro Air India is aquiring 200 more brand new planes which will take the game to another level
Not 200 , Its 470. 250 from Airbus , 220 from boeing.
I know they’re going through a lot of good changes and it’s good to see Air India really stepping up to deliver the best products they can. However, on their long-haul flights, I can’t wait to see their new aircraft and what the new products will look like.
My last time I was flying out of New Delhi, there was a Delhi police officer for every nine steps I took asking to see my boarding pass. Its definitely overkill and unnecessary to have this done so repetatively.
Lovely Flight crew, graceful pilot and a comfortable flight... I am glad to see that things are improving and waiting to try the new planes they will induct.
Omg i love the amazing sound of the GE90 on the 777-200LR
Sam, your videos come back to the initial high quality of when you started, my compliments indeed ! 👍👍👍
Worlds best class terminal Bengaluru terminal 2 ❤️

As a indian I'm asking you, Did you been to Changi?
The captains said they burning 1,50,000 litres of ATF [ Fuel ] for the Trip x Rs.90/- per litre of Jet fuel = Rs.1,35,00,000/- [ One crore Thirty Five ] just the fuel Bill
Air India's Boeing 777-200LR aircraft has a seating capacity of 238 passengers in a three-class configuration:
Revenue from operation of "FULL" flight
Economy: 195 standard seats x Avg Rs.42000/- per ticket = Rs.81,90,000/=
First Class: 8 flat bed seats X Rs.5L per seat - 40,00,000/-
Business: 35 angled-flat seats x Rs.2,50,000/- = Rs,87,50,000/-
--------------------
Revenue from tickets = Rs.2.10 Crore
Air India makes profit only if business and First class fills Up
Nice explanation from the captain. Good job on the info
Wow Sam.. This is how constructive feedback is shared, no text book will teach you... you are a gem !
Sam - nice to see you in Namma Bengaluru 😍
