Everyone in the hire car must wear their seat belt at all times. Whilst there are no child seat rules in the country, it’s strongly advised that small children are in a suitable child restraint when driving. You can use a mobile phone in the car but only if it is an entirely hands-free device.

Qatar said few times that the luggage will be at the final destination but they were wrong. Please check where your port of entry is at the destination. This is where the luggage would be. The food was terrible.
Comfortable seats, service, food and responses of crews member was polite and way they were talking with customer was very professional.
They need to be more accommodative when folks have a connecting flight and that too under the same ownership.
One of the On board crew misbehaved and services were poor
Flight was delayed in total one and half hours that was typical old Air India .. So avoid new Airindia with same old reputation. Make sure flights are in time .
plane is clean and well taken care of cabin crew
The Airlines is really professional and flights are almost on time in respect of departure and arrivals are concerned.
No Food, No beverages, only water, and there is no information about this sudden change
I changed the flight, there was restriction from srilanka to india - airline is not allowing me to board with that ticket, i changed the ticket for my travel. Thanks!
As usual Air India flight is very good but long journey with no media entertainment. Bring your own arrengment.
