- Air India B787 Business Class Review by Sam Chui. Is Air India really as terrible as many have claimed? Sharing my experience on Air India Business Class flight from Dubai to London via Mumbai. This video also review the GVK lounge in Mumbai.
Dedicate this video to my fans in India as they have long requested a vlog of airlines from India. I found a reasonably good fare of $1,300 on Air India last minute from Dubai to London via Mumbai.
The tv screen was broken so they put a printed piece of maharaja, 😂😂😂, height of indian jugaad
Most of the seats are mt in business class if he request to air hostess to change my seats so she's definitely arrange new seats for Mr Sam chui😊 and its happen most of d time... even international flight also have same problem.. but indian people are just take a selfie and post m travel with this and that...😂😂😂 I mean I think they just want to show off...
@@sunilkamble4083 what does your reply even mean ? Its a cocktail of english words without any sense.
sunil kamble lol 😂
@@arkadyutibera4465 lol you made my day
If Indians do that, then its "Jugaad" and if d same thing done by a foreigner then it becomes " Life Hack"
WoW💯
Whenever I step in Air India I feel like I'm in India already.
Gaurav No tv works and there is plenty of liquor Lol
thats a shame
Air India isn't even that good
@@fieldmarshal7298 it is worst airline one can choose to travel
@@rahullakhanpal2413 you surely haven't been to Ryanair
Atleast serve this guy better, he's a well known reviewer, his reviews are viewed by many.
and Air India is working like a govt department, putting stickers in place of TVs...😀😂
We need to get out of this Jugad mentality.
Now, Tatas have acquired it, I hope services will improve from here on.
They'll hopefully bring it back to it's old glory
@MrFalcon2001 air india bokwas.
Mohammad Danish because it is state run
I often travel on a air india AI121 dreamliner from FRA. Usually, the staff are better than the other airlines. Its cheaper and indian food is better than western inflight. I don’t watch tv much and I work on my laptop and its quiet comfortable.
Cause Air India's competitar is Pakistan Airlines
Hahaha 😀😀😀😀
The Air India will Definitely improve from now onwards, as it is under TATA now. Hope for good
yes hope. none of their tv works and once i went on an air india flight that wasnt clean at all
They reduced the baggage weight
Facts
Yes I wish for best
agreed
Replacing the TV 📺 with a sticker is priceless lol 😂 🤣🤣🤣
Jugadu Indians
Hahahahah
😂😂😂😂 can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
I've flown Jet Airways in economy and I have to say imho, Indian food in the air tastes much better than bland stuff on western airlines.
Dude that's the most overrated food that they offer you on plane, give me a chance and under 5 bucks I'll take you to places you'll never leave because of their food taste.
@@vedanttiwari6287 Take you to places for under 5 bucks? The video is about a flight experience including the food in the air. It's not about what cheap tasty food you can find on the ground.
You missed the whole point of the video - Idiot.
@@MrCallingoccupants Did you not see that I'm replying to someone who liked Indian food served on a plane, I didn't do a direct comment on video. Who's an idiot now? And how is this any of your business? You have a personal grudge against my country and my people then keep it with you, I'm smart enough to understand that.
@@vedanttiwari6287 The guy did a review about the flight and food, you responded by saying "places under 5 bucks". We ALL know places on the ground to get good cheap food - How can you possibly do a comparison between the two like you did? It does not make any sense. Regarding your other comment, I have no idea which country you are from or who your "people" are as you say. How can I possibly have a grudge against you or your country when I don't know where you are from?
@@MrCallingoccupants Dude are you blind? I'm not responding to the video I'm replying to mochagreen who says he liked Indian food, I don't know if you're high or what but if you don't get which country I'm from even after I described "Indian Street Food" then you're the biggest idiot on the planet. And you're or youtube app is so freaking outdated if it doesn't show you that this isn't a response to the video but a reply to someone.

This is one of my favourite videos of yours for a long time. I liked your honesty and the vulnerability of your fear of the upcoming trip. I prefer it to the ultra luxury and glossy videos you sometimes do where you interview the captain and get personal tours from the staff and have your own suite etc because those seem so unattainable to me. Therefore, this video seemed more "real" for the common people like me and therefore I loved it!
Cant agree more...
Thanks for the comment. Keep in mind my channel here is all about sharing my experience of what I've encountered. I cover every range of commercial aviation such as aviation classic like B747 classic or IL-62 russian planes, uber luxury private jet and first class and many other in between.
Paws indeed ..at times his videos look like some commercial for the particular airline particularly when he lines up the cabin crew in a row and makes them say “welcome” “to” “air ...” “boeing” “787” lol ..and then makes some cabin crew come up and ask him “oh Sam ur luggage looks good .can u tell me what it is ? “ and then an ad for the luggage brand lol ..too much drama
You don’t get many common people in this cabin.
@@SamChui We also wanna see the truth and default of the flight and the plane. But you make me dream and support me to make this dream comming true, for better or worse.

I've flown AI on Mumbai - Newark business class. The experience in terms of IFE and catering leaves a lot to be desired, specially compared to other airlines' business class. But the crew was top notch. Really felt as they actually cared about the passengers. Thanks for the review Sam.
Years ago I worked for Singapore Airlines. I learned from some of my Indian colleagues that Air India is criminally mismanaged. Some of their staff would be owed over a month worth of wages.
But unless you steal or attack somebody physically ,it is a job for life . Nobody can or will terminate you from the job .

Very interesting @Sam Chui. I flew Air India from Heathrow to Rome in 1976 on a Boeing 707. Yes that's right a 707, the only time I have ever been on one. It was a magic experience, the cabin was beautifully decorated and they had incense as well. It was in the days when smoking was OK. I don't recall the food we had if any, but it was a very memorable flight all the same.
I was returning to New Zealand at the time and the next leg of the journey was on an Alitalia DC10, via Israel, India, Singapore to Sydney. Then back to NZ on an Air NZ DC8 to Christchurch, and finally on a 737 to Wellington. It was a long time ago now but very nice memories. I enjoy your reviews and regularly visit to see what you are up to. Cheers from NZ.
Air India give feeling that you're at your home with mom, aunts, etc (old airhostess aunts) as they taking care of you like how to eat, etc 😂😂😂 typically a airline you want when you feel homesick😂😂
Lol 😊
Now you understand who are perverts? The air hostesses are doing their jobs and you are judging an Airline by thr age of its air hostesses. How the hell does that "age" factor matter to your in flight experience
@@anirbanchakrabortyronFirst of all stop accusing any one without knowing anything, Primarily you blaming indians for this, no one judging no one questioning credibility of airhostess of AIC here it's just fucking sarcasm and also no one questioning integrity of AIC staff also flight experience... we know they are highly experience, best in handling emergency situation then newbies (old is gold) but we live in free world not in mamata did's (Mamta Banerjee Dictator of provice of west Bengal, India) world; If you are unable to handle jokes and sarcasm please stay away from internet or just do some other stuff rather accusing anybody, nations or group of citizen without understanding anything. Hope its answers all of your pervert accusing questions" (Vote well buddy) ...
@@anirbanchakrabortyron you must be having a dictionary please use it .
@@KINGFISHERS97 There is nothing connected with Mamata didi. And what you just told is sarcasm, it is one type of Sexism, or I would say, ageism. I accuse because it is mostly Indian people who judge air hostesses by their age.

Zarden78_ YT me to
you would if you get bug bites all over your body :-) then you would not even fly for free :-)
Zarden78_ YT use singapore airline
Shrek Shrek what.happend is.it.clean
Zarden - I understand what you are saying but it doesn't work that way. Imagine you paid 3,4,6,8x ( or more) the price of an economy fare for your BC or F ticket and got say 5-10% better service for all that money that you had saved up to be able to afford. What you get for your money is VERY important and it's reasonable to expect that higher level of service and very basic things like priority boarding. If I am getting the same food but served on nicer plates and having to stand on an air bridge waiting around for ages along with pax in econ then why don't I just save my money for my holiday and pay the econ fare instead. I've flown econ / budget carriers a lot more than I've ever BC ( I've never flown F) in my time but when I do I expect the carrier to make sure they pay me back for all the money I just gave to them.
The comments regarding the food is a bit unfair as you tried unfamiliar foods. I believe that you should have known that the food was going to be spicy as you've traveled the world over, and have had Indian food before.
RE Ohtz he didn’t complain about the food whatsoever. He just stated he dint expect it to be that spicy
Trying the western food instead would have given a better comparison. The couple of western foods he received had a mediocre presentation but I'm curious as to whether it tasted good. I'd love to try the Indian food myself (though I definitely need the yoghurt haha)
food in Kerala is very spicy but for foreigners its toned down a lot. but still many can't handle it. its common.
RE Ohtz air India food sucks I’ve tried every airline and this is the worse as an airline your food should be more international
Dark Knight, as a senior purser for an international airline that no longer flies to India, I am familiar with the offerings of the caterers out of both Indira Ghandi, and Chadrapati Shivagi airports. Personally, I enjoy Indian cuisine, but many of my colleagues didn't and our caterers ( Oberoi Flight Kitchen) offered or crew several choices of both Indian and Western cuisines. Mr. Chui should have tried the western offering as well as the Indian, to at least see if at least the western one was acceptable.
Air India employed those air hostess in 90's now they're denying to leave the service and all you get is 40-50 y/o air hostess 😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Does it matter??
+Kaushik Medikonda I don't fly air india now, indigo is better..

Consider your mother to be an air hostess ,then would you be saying this that she should be fired because she is old !!
4:38 "I was surrounded by peasants and I did not like it" loll omg the sweetest lady! 8:41 was hoping she would feed him haha got so close.
Honestly i personally think if they change their colour scheme, they would appear more presentable to potential customers.

I’ve flown Air India Business a dozen times from FRA to SYD, with a stopover in Delhi. I always enjoyed it, new planes and good service, especially when you take into consideration that a round-trip is less than 2000 Euro for a 20 something hour trip.
What do they charge for business class from the U.S to Chennai round trip? We flew in 2019 and the price was $3,500 per passenger.
i can live for 7 months with 2000, and you make it sound like a joke
There was a time when Air India was the worlds most profitable and the best airline in the whole world
Tata himself invested in each flight and Singapore Airline personally took inspiration from Air India ( When it was called Tata Airlines)
This was the time when it was among the three most profitable airlines in the world and Air India was at the top in luxury flying
Government overtake and horrible mismanagement brought it straight down
PS :- Fun fact
Air India actually owns more than 4000 artwork and Tata personally commissioned none other than Salvador Dali
The most famous surreal artist in the world at the time and for payment he asked for an elephant kid which was delivered to him
Air india was the worst for the last 70 years.
@@luvmite2758 you probably didn't exist since the last 70 years
@@avfx111 ask your mom, she knows about me everything.
@@luvmite2758 if you actually believe that, that just means you don’t know history all that much. AI was among the most luxurious and well managed airlines in the world back in the days. AI was the first airline in the world with all jet engine aircrafts in its fleets, one of the firsts to take delivery of 747. AI went on a downhill post the 80s.
Same was the case with PIA. One of the best airlines in the world and the best in the region. It helped emirates start their aviation journey. Government control and corruption has made it one of the worst airlines
Im a frequent flyer.. I travel to India for work... Have always preferred Air India... Never had any problems...always a pleasant flight... I love their non stop flights...i have heard people complaining about the age of airhostess... I don't understand why is that so important as long as one gets proper service.
No South Indian will mix Chutney and Sambar Together lol
I just wondered, who does that?? It's terrible loss of both flavours!!
She was pranking him.Poor guy
you may not seen that.some people eat like that. that too taste good. i usually eat like that. that's my favorite.
S.Mithyanthaya I live in U.P. I'd still not mix it in a dosa.
I'm a South Indian and I at times mix chutney and Sambar 😂😂
This is why i love youtube , getting information on different things, youtubers make things available in transparency. Really appreciate their work
Sam: Hey guys I am sam chui

Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 epic

Watching his videos always reminds me how poor i am😂 forget about business class and it being terrible, i am so poor that i travel in ac 3 tier in indian railways😂😂 and have never boarded a plane yet...
Trains have their own charm and going through airport security is always a pain.
One day
Gonna tell you,It isn't much fun. You will get bored af when you sit for +10 hours
I travel in general coach
You have not missed much. A train journey is much more amusing.
I am very surprised that the business class seats are so ill-designed in the new 787 of Air India. Having said that, I have flown various airlines and Air India has been amongst the better ones, at least in the domestic sector. I understand about the food part since the food has been designed to suit Indian tastes.
In the international sector I have had an amazing experience on Oman Air.
Good vlog and a honest review. I have always felt that there is an unfair criticism of Air India by the public for reasons beyond its service. Some of my best flights have been with Air India. The 787-8 dreamliner flights have the largest leg room (83cms) in economy (even above Jet Airways 777-300ER), more spacious due to 2-3-2 configuration and the food is always top class. I have had bad food experiences in Jet Airways but never even once in Air India. Their South Indian breakfast menu tastes really good. The Air Hostesses are govt employees and hence older women but who cares when I get the service more than the value for money paid.
I actually think that Air India's Service can sometimes be excellent its like having a grandma :)
$1300 flight, and the tv screen is broken! Wow!
Chhuti Maiti - $1,300 was the total price for what was actually two flights (transit to a new aircraft in Mumbai) - the second one on a new Dreamliner where the entertainment was working. Just mentioning this for clarification 👍🏻.
Do you even know how much the other airlines charge for such a trip.. plus it was only a 2 hrs flight from Dubai to Mumbai
Air India short haul flights on narrow body do not have screens.
Emirates airways also broken screen not only air India so these kind of tragedy In all aircrafts not in only air India
Chhuti Maiti thats too bad
Wht business class n tv screen broken😅
No clean hygiene issues... lol saw a lipstick stain on the seat cover. 😂
Or maybe some tomatoketchup 😅
😂😂😂
Sam must've tried hard not to mention it.
Or something worse : /
It's not lipstick stain its red wool
Great to see a positive review of Air India. Thanks Sam!
@6:46 Is that a stain on the headrest? I've been on 2 AI flights. One resulted in a RTO at BOM in the middle of summer. Plane taxied to a stand and passengers were cooking for over 2 hours with no AC. 2 years later, flew 747 from BOM to JFK via LHR. We lost cabin pressure 1 hr before landing, had emergency descent and continued to LHR. My concern is with the handling of maintenance of their aircraft and the management in charge. I give props to the flight and cabin crew for what they have to deal with.
Jibbie John That is not a stain on the headrest....that is a piece of orange fabric from the seat.
aditya ballal it’s a stain dude
@@rachelcharles53 its not a stain
Nice planes, but their chaotic and disorganized ground operations coupled with their ok food service with horrible domestic standard presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Not to mention they don't even provide amenity kits and that 787 looked worn down already! I think Sam was being nice! For a 787, those business class seats are VERY outdated in design and comfort. I guess since it only cost $1,300 though, you got what you paid for. I would personally never fly Air India, and it's clear why they hesitated even letting them join the Star Alliance! What a cheesy national carrier! It's a shame because the crew seemed very nice and experienced. They deserve to have better products to serve their customers! India and it's citizens also deserve an airline they can be proud of! India is an amazing country, so I hear, and has amazing people.
You’re absolutely right Chris, Indians find it hard to swallow this truth but the reality is the chaotic, disorganized means of the country don’t do any of the operations any favors be it in the air or on the ground, it’s symbolic of how the overall country is run.
lazerbud even Indians won't fly air India.🤣 Its that bad.
kyu bhai? AI ka employee hai tu ki bura lag gya? lol
Well said.
Well Air New Zealand is under government control with a small population and well out of the way of everything and they are a great carrier - I guess it just comes down to the ability of the government.

If your serving food wrapped in foil to your business class , then you need to improve at the very minimum the presentation and plating of the food. Let alone the taste
Not only the meal quality, many things needs to be improved.

My grandparents are younger than those flight attendants and they’re pushing 80 😂
They were nice and humble though
Age is not a barrier for doing a job.... they are not modelling dear..... working.
I think she was younger then you bruh 🙄
@@MG-my5bj as you told that’s 100percent right even in other international airline there is more older crews but I don’t why Air India airline crews they don’t wear much make up as they grow more and more and their make up becomes lesser and lesser even their grooming style as they grow, their grooming style becomes so bad.I’m not pointing out the crews, they should have something interest while working but they just looks like no energy, probably they are tired of being flight attendant 🤔
You're grandparents could be younger but they can never be more gentle with passengers than these flights attendance. And we have the proof in your comment.
Peace from Morocco 🇲🇦🙋🏻♂️
The two ladies cabin crews probably have been serving Air India for long time. They are very senior 😀😀👍👍
They may have joined in 1970s as models but now they are actually 'grandmodels'. 😆😆😆
Why air India is horrible because it is cheap and also it is a government controlled airline they lack funds their main aim to provide quality service even for a middle class people
Lol they have huge funds since they are owned by the Govt. When a private company starts making loss, it either has to change its way or shut down in a short time. When Govt company starts making loss, it has nothing to worry about since Indians dont care about fiscal responsibility, and the criminal labour unions stop the Govt from selling them.

I flew AI from Frankfurt to Delhi in business class last week. TV was broken. Flight attendants rebooted the system with no luck. The FAs already seemed to be aware that it was not working. Unable to sleep because I already slept during the 10 hr stopover in Frankfurt. It was a long boring flight with only newspapers to read.

I dont care.
0:43 Over populated airport LoL 😂
For the cheap price it is marginal, or (barely) acceptable, but I cannot imagine ever paying full price for something simple as not having a priority lane. Also, nice review! I liked how you touched on the small details like the business class bus (which actually improves the experience a lot, because otherwise you have to wait anyway until the bus is filled) and things like the amenity kit. Food (presentation) looked quite bad though, lol. As if it just came out of that aluminium tray from economy, put upside down on the plate.
Vincent believe me I'm an Indian, and the food sucks. All of it looks microwaved and stale, and cheap .. all food items are of bad quality and cheap
The flight attenders are still here from the begining of the airindia service...
LoL
Lol😁
don't worry they will be retiring
Is there lack of hot and gorgeous girls in India?
@@collateralkiller959 I think the senior flight attendants are serving the business class. Maybe the young good looking flight attendants are serving in the economy in the same flight 😂
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner itself, I find, is a very good plane...however overall service with Air India could be improved. 👍
It's the worst
Fly once again in same airline after rebranding by the founders, The Tata Group. I really have high hopes from Air India under Tata once again. It will soon be considered as top 5 airlines in the world.
Air India is already a market leader for on time flights. In such short span
That’s business of air India. Wait till u cry in economy 😂
I agree
😂

Right 😂
Economy is like banana chips and black coffee..
My perception is that India is one of the dirtiest countries in the world, there are even dirty seats on a luxury airliner, business class, it’s incredible. I understand that being filthy is a part of their culture and they are not doing much about this.
Racists in Europe say similar thing about you "dirty Turks"...
Hi sam.... I am from india and i think you made a very good and honest vlog
Ashwin Chandra that's because air india is run by ministers only... Not proffetionals..... But jet Airways is gr8
Not honest Chinese love pakistan Not India it's Storeotype Vlog
Honestly, for Indians, the food on Air India is best part.. Returning home from foreign countries after years away from your family and culture, we are greeted with lovely motherly Air hostesses and an awesome Indian feast onboard.. that experience is priceless for Indians.. :) But definitely agree, IA is not western friendly..
Always loved to watch Sam Chui flight reports. Air India have improved a lot.I request the higher officials of Air India to give a compulsory training on Indian food habits for the 50 year old air hostess. Such a senseless people to say mix chutney with sambar.lack of professionalism .You are declining your status because of these small things which will have major impact on a foreigner that the Indians don't have basic knowledge on their own food habits.
That lady had unkempt hair too. Looked like she came on a vacation. Zero professionalism
if this is the "improved a lot" cant help but wonder just how shitty it used to be... is this really business class?!
Upset about mixing chutney with sambar. What about sticker in place of screen for which a business class passenger pays?
But who keeps such old lady as a air hostess and (no hates ) but that aunt was not even good looking also she was wearing specs...sometimes I thought , don't they get beautiful girls as air hostess .btw there so many hot and gorgeous girls here like 2-3 are in my class already....air India shame on u
I went on Air India Dreamliner from Delhi to London heathrow. I was provided a pretty good amenity kit and there were 2 different jetways for business and economy class passengers
Thank you sam for make a video with Air India and it is one of my favorite airlines
Really?
Saw myself at 0:51, checking-in a passenger. 😊 Actually starting to miss working on these flights.
Cool

This is my fr....eh neighbour :). Thanks for the report Sam, enjoyed it! Did they really replace the screen with the maharadja? That's pretty bad. I must say, 1300 for such a flight is still a lot of money in my opinion....
You should travel in Air India now. After Tata bought Air India, the flights saw a significant makeover. It is way way better now.
The tv screens come out from the side of the seats 😂

Being honest: if this is not the worst business class seat and service on market, it's at least in the bottom 3, for what I can see. Besides lounges, of course. They look both great. But 2-2-2 seat, no amenities, no priority etc... No, thanks. Great review, btw. ;)
I flew from SFO to DEL a few years ago. It was a full flight on an aging 747. Some of the flight attendants were too short, so they needed the male passengers to help close the overhead compartments. During taxiing to the runway, some of the compartment doors sprang open. Once the plane got in the air, and the seatbelt signs went off, the passengers closed the doors again. I guess we were lucky that luggage wasn't falling out during takeoff.
Too short FAs? 🤔🤔 Don't they go through selection process? I mean, surely, the training airlines/academy will have eliminated any candidates that do not meet the specified height requirements!

I flew Air India a few days ago in Economy and the food was good... I flew economy from Dehli to Chicago (a 20 hour flight with a refueling stop in Vienna thanks to the closing of the Pakistani airspace). However, the overall hygiene of the flight was lacking and the entertainment system was slow and didn't have a wide selection. Inflight staff were nice though.
Good comment. And quite to the point.... AI is insolvent - kept afloat by taxpayers - without their consent. It is bloated and badly needs better management, restructuring and a sell-off to any buyer who is at least partially insane.
No government so far has had the cajones to do something about it (no, trying to sell it with crappy conditions and resulting in abject failure does not count as 'doing something'). One of the biggest failures of NaMo/BJP govt. is to continue to keep this 'national carrier' afloat on poor peoples' back to subsidize air travle for the middle and upper classes.. This is clearly one amongst many other failures of this government (and I am neither an Indian citizen nor a Congress/opposition supporter).
@@kiney0713 Too back the airline can't be given back to Tata cause they are one of the two owners of vistara
I like your flight reviews. You always give detailed account of everything. ♥️
Idli, Wada & Upma with chutney & Shambar... man it’s my soul food... missing them a lot in lockdown... thanks for wonderful video...

I really love your optimistic way of accepting, even though you had bad ground experience in Mumbai

Shut up bitch
@sam chui - I completely understand you can’t compare air India business class with ethihad and there is a reason air India business class is far more cheaper than ethihad and Emirates . It’s a value for business class . For a 15 hours long haul 1000 $ upgrade is value deal.
sun up actually, most people in business class spend hours and hours everyday trying to find a way to use miles or find a good deal because not everyone is made of money. So lots of people who fly business class also like to save money.
Yes there is way more diff. On it ethihad is clean and air india is fucking dirty inside
After having the 'Mysore vada' from grandma and the strong tasting 'Elaichi murg/chicken', he declines the Indian sweets and goes for western chocolate mousse. He figured Indian people and food weren't up to the mark, hahaha.
Man , Indian food is best in the world , but a person should know how to eat it. Also service of Air India is not that good.
Good video, loved it! Air India never provides amenity kit! They believe it is useless! The kit items can be asked to the crew or found in the lav.
I was surprised Sam wasn't provided the amenity kit. I was given them by the crew on my BOM-BKK-BOM flights on both the legs.
That's not a good thing in modern aviation when people can choose their carriers easier and easier.
Vistara will be the new age airlines in India in the next 5 years. I have flown Vistara for the 1st time last month and totally awestruck by their service and food quality.
Vistara should replace Air India for all International sectors. At least Indian aviation will have a face saver all over the world.
Even i also felt the same..they are way too good
Buddy what facer, the policy of cover up should be abandoned. Country cannot be full of pollution, garbage and all other nonsense and then try to save face by Vistara (which is truly quality air service, no doubt).
I think Air India is not bad! Great video Sam! Have you ever tried Vietnam airlines yet?
ADL Aviation hi
@@ultimatecomedy4676 yo
ADL Aviation where are you from bro?
You could extend your transit stop over in India for a few days and go touring around the city of Mumbai. It is amazing!
