Paid for the seat 17D. I found that that seat has no lean back facilities
Flight was short but turbulent giving uneasy feeling :( ; although views were mesmerising ;)
Not professional and didn’t know about double seat even when I paid for it and have a confirmation. Lack of comms between teams.
Boarding is becoming a hassle with Indigo nowadays, particularly if you are placed towards the front. The overhead luggage trays are either packed with flight equipments or already loaded by other passengers. So, if you are on front rows, your luggage may eventually end up towards middle. Food quality is going down by day. The only good element of being on time is also shaky nowadays.
Staff needs to be trained in managing customers better. Indigo appears to be a low cost airlines in all aspects.
Flight was delayed and also lots of mosquitoes on the flight
Two times the gate was changed and flight got delayed
Wife and I were seated in separate seats across the aisle
Liked the XL seat, but didn't like the check-in process at the Delhi Airport gate 5B. Though I had paid for the priority boarding, there was mad rush at the gate and allowed whoever with might pushed in. Then at the gate we were picked up for compulsory checkin the hand baggage as the flight was full. There were any with more than 2 bags and massive cabin baggage. But they didn't dare to stop them.. Overall a very badly managed check-in process.
Check in is a mess. Be ready for a traumatic experience from the unsupportive and rude check in staffs and duty managers at Calicut airport. It’s a chaos and the lines are mostly first in last out, as they don’t care of the passenger well being or the waiting time. They are just concerned of checking in before the boarding call. Personal experience is of standing 2 hours straight just for check in. Flight is ok, food preordered are all the instant ones with hot water mix, which tastes pathetic. Overall, will never take another indigo flight to fly out of india.
The flight was on time, the entire experience was very smooth. The Flight crew were incredibly professional and nice. Made us feel very comfortable
Very old and ill maintained flights. Seats didn’t have proper cushioning. The entertainment system was a joke. That’s the least one can expect from a 19 hour long flight.
Very bad experience luggage never made to destination no help form airlines staff aircraft was old crappy forts staff service bad airlines staff
Several seats in business class were broken. Some would not recline, others had other problems. They need to really update the seats and AV.
Too bad. Got too much trouble with security screening at New Delhi
Poor behavior by ground staff in Mumbai. Very harassing. Initially they did not let me board with my little violin. They do not have the correct information. No concept of hospitality. The food on the flight was not good.
We had a pleasant journey in Air India. Commentable service was provided by the Cabin crew.
Poor flight and poor service on Air India service back to US
In my row, nobody's entertainment screen worked - my audio didn't work, my husband's touchscreen didn't work, and the third seat guy's screen was blank! the remote control didn't work on anyone's - which meant we couldn't press the call sign for the steward, we couldn't turn on or off the lights overhead, and we couldn't turn the volume up or down. If entertainment is not your big criteria, maybe going to the toilet/loo is? For a full flight, there were only a handful of toilets to begin with. and then one broke - didn't flush, and the others had a waiting line over over 40 mins. God bless your bladder!! Suggest you wear an adult diper. The hot food was good, honestly, but just get rid of the cold bread! who would eat a cold piece of bread roll/dinner roll. Just don't give it! The crew though were great, I really felt for them, managing a chaotic environment with a shitty plane, God bless them. Overall, never flying this airline. But I wish Tata does something and brings their new planes, because I would love to be a proud Air India traveling Indian. No other flight just gets me from Chicago directly to India!
Our flight was cancelled due to technical issues. Air India staff caused each one of us to go through nightmare before finally placing us in a hotel by 2 am. I was asked to share a single room with a stranger. I insisted that I cannot share the room as I needed privacy due to my vulnerable medical situation (Heart issues, High blood pressure, High Cholesterol and Type 2 diabetics). Even after explaining my medical situation and the need for privacy, Air India instructed the hotel to charge me Rs 4000 for the room and I was forced to pay the amount at 2 am (roughly $49). Air India should refund the amount I paid for my hotel room, at the minimum. Air India didn't have any Standard Operating Procedure to do what/how/when/by whom under this situation. Mom with babies, Elderly people and people with medical condition like me were forced to wander from here to there and talk to each person right from 10pm all the way till 2am. The Air India staff didn't have PA system to give a consistent announcement, instead they were murmuring on a one-o-one basis with more than 200 passengers. It was a sight of utter mismanagement and lack of commonsense. I will not ever, I MEAN EVER TRAVEL an Air India flight even if it is free, and will not recommend Air India to anyone I care.
