The pilot suddenly announed the "termination" of the flight in London eventhough the flight was to continue to New York. Over 300 passengers were transferred to Emirates Airlines with much confusion. No one got any vegetarian meal and the flight didn't have any blankets or pillows.
Air India often gets delayed by a day. Although they are "on time" by clock is often late by a day! I can't understand how they are able to put hundreds of people in Hotels day after day.
You are not alone. AI is my airline of last resot, although I am interested in them getting * membership so that I can fly to the smaller places in india on an award. Hope they are generous with award seats.
