“Horrible Transfer Experience”
Review of Air India


Reviewed 2 August 2024

Overall, quite a bad experience, don't think I'll ever fly with them again.
Some positive aspects as quality of food and friendly staff are more than outweighed by the following
- Nasty transfer process in DEL airport. Huge, chaotic lines and unnecessarily complicated process. We had a stressful wait that lasted over 2 hours and only made our flight because they delayed departure as we were by far not the only ones
- Out of four legs flown on Air India, in three of them, they had an in-flight entertainment system. In my seat, it worked on neither of the flights
- In this particular flights, about half the toilets were unusable by mid-flight and it does not seem to be in the job description of the crew to do something about it
If you can, pay a bit more and avoid Air India.

11 hours flight from London Gatwick to Cochin .The flight crews were horrible with no manners . Considered the passengers as cattle. Appeared as racists. Probably all the passengers were Malayalies . Flight was stained and the seats were faulty believe that it it is enough for Indians. No entertainment and faulty screens. Never again

Worst experience ever. I missed my connecting flight to Italy because of a 2 hour delay. They haven't yet booked another flight to allow me to go home and I haven't slept or eaten for hours. I'm just stuck at the airport of Delhi for who know how long. Don't fly with Air India.
