EWR -> AMD Tips needed...
 

I have a flight on 777-200LR from EWR to AMD leaving on NOV 25.

I currently have the seats 17B,C (heard that they have extra legroom) and was wondering if they have video devices for them. I'm not sure how and if Air India offers anything for these seats. And if they dont then I would like to change seats asap. Its going to be a 14 hour flight lol I dont want to die from boredom.

Also, I just signed up for flying returns. I booked the flight through an agent so how do I add the flight? And how far back can I go for adding flights?

Also, I was wondering if I could carry onto the plane a handbag, laptop, and a suit? Worst comes to worse I will just put the laptop inside the handbag but would rather have it out.

Anyone have any issues with the bag dimensions itself? I currently am exceeding 10 inches for the total sum of 2 bags. Do you think Air India will care?

Any other tips that I should know?

Also anything you want me to research for your guys while im on the flight. I will have a DSLR with me so I'll try to take any shots you guys want.

Hnad bag and laptop should be fine.. Suit in a separate bag may be a problem, they consider that extra baggage.. wear the suit and take off the jacket and have it hanged up.. :) Video devices are either on the seat or the bulkhead pcs.. not sure if tehy work or not, my cousin flew a few weeks back and no of teh avods were working through out the flight. if traveling in same time fram, try to add teh ticket on the same pnr #..

Get to the airport early, AI flight are a madhouse leaving from Newark..especially at check-in.

Bring some light snacks like peanuts and thiki sev ;) alcohol is only give 2 drinks per/person every 2-3 hours :(

Have a great flight..

All seats have AVOD

Give your ff# to the AI agent when you check in. You can add all flights you took or will take since you became a FR member.

Put your laptop in the duffle bag until you're done with the security check. You should be able to bring it out afterwards without any issue.
10 inches should not be an issue.

Everyone thinks this way, comes early, check in 2 large overweight suitcases and creates a bunch of chaos. My personal strategy is to arrive at the airport a little late (about 1.5 hours before takeoff) for AI flights to avoid the long lines. Keep in mind that this is not necessarily the right strategy for everyone.

I have never had a problem getting extra food and hard/soft drinks on AI. All you have to do is ask politely and be respectful of (or flirt with:D) the FAs as the situation demands.

1 year....

Cool! Thanks guys.

BTW anyway to get a cheap upgrade to business?

It will be the price difference between your paid fare and the business class fare.
