I haven't been on AI for several year actually 1999 to be exact. The service then was horrible and I was on a 747 business class and even then we had the worst time in the world. What was the funniest thing to me was that the air hostess that was service us was wearing the AI sari and let me tell you something she was FAT and her rolls were just hanging out.

Secondly on that same flight my mom is a vegetarian, and being in business class I would have hoped that they got her order right. Well they brought her a chicken meal. So when my mom goes she can't eat that and so forth they brought her a veggie tray from economy. I just looked at the FA and told her to please bring my mom a proper salad and and bun with butter. 2 hours later after dinner service had ended did she finally bring my mom the food and had the nerve to wake us to up to let us know.

Plus in those days being 24 hours late was a norm for AI, so we have never flown them again.

Plus the AI smells funny!!!!
