I'm looking for some flights back to the West Coast from Asia (ideally to YVR but I'm flexible) and really the only routes in J/F that are available on a whim all involve travel through India. Whether that's some combo of SQ/NH/BR to India and an AI flight to YVR. I know that the hard product is abysmal, but how bad is the experience really. I've watched as many reviews as you can realistically watch but they never cover the stuff I really want to know, like how dirty are the seats really, how bad are the crews on average, how are the bathrooms, and how are the other passengers especially. I figure I can get the most fair replies here, so is it worth it taking AI direct to YVR (I know it's their worst long haul product) or should I add another connection and 4+ hours to avoid India.
