Pros: "Seriously speaking nothing!!"
Cons: "A lot of things really..but most of all be on time!"
Cons: "For my return journey I had to contact the airlines for change of date. It was a nightmare experience. Each time I called, I had to spend minimum of 45/60 minutes on hold while I was repeatedly pushed to new agents. This might be the only airline which would require an international passenger to visit the booking office personally to claim exemptions from date change penalty. ( my mother passed away and I wanted exemption because of bereavement)And to top it, no one knew the location of the booking office..."
Cons: "Justfly is a scam. Lately prices have also been highest on kayak. I trusted this platform for years and always used it as the first any only option for search but I guess once Expedia bought it it’s just a lousy company."

Cons: "Rest rooms are not cleaned"

Cons: "Nothing worked. A bathroom was out of commission, 2 of three consoles on my row didn't work. Mine flashed a bright light every 5 seconds, forcing me to rip up the magazine to fashion a hood. Flight attendants were absolutely unresponsive. Everything was tired and old. Won't fly again."
Cons: "This was one of my worst experience flying with Air India. Stating from boarding to end of journey nothing impressed me to chose Air India again in the future."
Pros: "Timing. Service"
Cons: "Long flight"
Cons: "Tv screen did not work during entire journey."
Cons: "Bad entertainment system the screens fell down on sleeping people’s heads. My screen was frozen as was most of the other passengers screens"
Cons: "Most of the screen doesn’t work, so unless you have things to watch on your own devices you are doomed."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Starting from check in till landing everything was poor. No regard for senior citizens. Poor food quality. Pathetic inflight service and bad attitude from staff. No one cared. Was suppose to arrange for wheelchair but had to carry my own luggage n walk Totally useless. No wonder they are rated as bottom airline in ratings."
Pros: "Overall good service."
Cons: "15 hours flight. Entertainment did not work both way. very unhappy."
Pros: "Departed on time and arrived before time. Baggage and fragile items in great shape."
Cons: "Need more variety shows in the entertainment menu."

Cons: "The fruits served was bad and got spoiled. No proper response from the cabin team"
Cons: "Entertainment sockets were broken in my both flights!"
Pros: "Gave 1 star since there was nothing less than that for crew and entertainment"
Cons: "The very least thing you would expect on international travel is to kill your time watching movies or something on the screen in front of you especially when you travel 13+ hours non-stop. My screen wouldn't even start and when informed the crew multiple times all got is "ok" and nobody even bothered to comeback and check( even after pressing the flight attendant button multiple times). Trip felt very exhausting since all you can do is close your eyes and pretend you sleep or stare at seat in front of you. I am sure there are many broken systems and it may be ok for people who sleep through out their flight but such a shame that air India doesn't bother to check and fix their systems. Very disappointed since this is not the first time it happened, also happened on my way to India and the response I got from flight attendant is" there are hundred of seats empty"meaning to say go find a working screen myself. When you spend so much money to travel least you would expect is basic things and minimal courtesy. Somebody needs to fix their systems and train the crew better. Very disappointed that Air India didn't even bother to correct the issues they knew that were already at fault."
Cons: "Late plus equipment is not in good condition."
Pros: "The flight is on time to Chicago"
Cons: "When we contacted the customer care they told wheel chair persons can carry 23, 23 check in luggage and 8,4 carry on.... we checked our baggage.... after our visitors left they started complaining about the carry on's are not allowed.... This seems like harassing the passengers in the name of rules which change time to time"
Pros: "Every thing is good"
Cons: "My flight was delayed for hours that i needed to get on to another flight."
Cons: "Seat changed by airline with out my knowledge"

Cons: "Everything"
Cons: "Entertainment very poor with no WIFI old movies"
Pros: "They got me home in one piece"
Cons: "Crew allowed all the passengers to board and then announced a technical problem that took 2 hours to fix. Making people sit another two hours (in the middle of the night) before a 16-hour flight is ridiculous. Also as I've previously experienced on Air India, the bathrooms are inadequately supplied and literally held together with tape and stickers, when they are working at all."
Pros: "The staff was very patient and respectful and I was very impressed with the way they handled negative behavior from the passengers."
Cons: "The airline needs to figure out how to streamline boarding, it is always a negative experience. Also communication can be improved as to reasons for delay."

Pros: "There is nothing which was good"
Cons: "Every thing"
