With less than 18 hours to go for the first revenue flight of the 787, the fares for AI 439 are cheapest for the day on the 787 flight and have infact reduced from 9000 to 8500 in economy and even in executive they are about 1500 rupees cheaper than other flights that day to chennai. So many seats are open, even non revenues should get a seat. Today, I am totally disgusted.

Me, I booked, and then i read they were going to conduct a puja once the plane arrived in Chennai. and then I cancelled my ticket being disgusted about their blah approach towards the whole thing.
