Good to hear these reviews of AI F. Just grabbed a F award for the husband flying from RDU to YVR( J in business) and YVR to DEl (F with AI) Oct 2024 for only 88k miles via United. Giving AI a year to work on the soft product and NOT telling him if can go South. Lol

AI's 77Ws should ideally be in refurb by then and he might just end up on an ex-EY/SQ 77W :)

I have JAL booked to Tokyo via Chicago next spring, but haven't found a way home yet. The Tokyo to NYC via DEL/BOM is one available option; and one of the few available options. AI in First from DEL to JFK would be interesting but the trip is 120,000 LifeMiles albeit via Delhi or via Tokyo. 120,000 airlines miles is quite a few miles, even if it is LifeMiles. And as noted, the trip is a very long trip. Not sure I have the wherewithall to be in the good hands of Air India for 32 hours. Would Air India improve sufficiently between now and March 2024?
Out of Asia, zero availablity to USA or Europe in business or first via ANA, United, Thai, Singapore Air, etc. Endless availability via Air India, though. |
Offered today for Sundays flight J->F for 474 quid. As of now, doesnt seem like anyone is in F.
Any offered anything lower at check in for the upgrade? |
The airport rate used to be 600GBP at the counter in LHR for flights to India:

Well, their system wont take my payment, keep getting errors. Rang them up, said wait a bit then try again :)
LHR-BOM It's great upgrade deal as long as you can afford it. |

That would be the ex-EY plane. 8 F seats would confirm it.

To give a bit of reference, when I booked my upgrade and selected a seat, the cabin was empty. The entire flight was full, the FA said they were oversold and everyone else in the cabin were upgraded. Hence, why I think my upgrade fare was a bit cheaper than the normal 600 or so. AI figured they could get a bit more revenue rather than free upgrades. Upon arrival in BOM, I was the only passenger with AI staff waiting for me to escort me to immigration.
Good flight, seat def needs some upgrading/cleaning. Parts were falling off, bed was a bit harder than I'd like and food was average. Staff as always was great! |
Hi all, can anyone share what the domestic ground handling experience is like for F pax ? I booked an AI F award (was going for Biz, but F was availalble so thought it might be fun basically for the novelty). My flight is BOM-DEL-ORD with the domestic segment also on the 777 with F cabin. There is a 3.5 hour layover in DEL.
|
Nothing in BOM, in DEL you will be received on arrival and someone will take you to the AI F lounge and then to the gate.
|
They used to do curb side pick up and escort in BOM. Is that no longer a thing?
|
Curb side is available in BOM & DEL if you depart international from there. They usually call you ahead of time and check where to meet.
