the best advicce here is dont fly Air India. For the same amount of money you can get seats on a lot of better airlines. its quite sad what has happended to a once proud airline. esp of late w/ talk of privatization the pilots union is playing games. in the past week two flights (one to NY and one domestic) have been delayed for 4 + hours b/c the pilots just walked off the plane and left. and having a business class seat is no assurance of actually getting a seat - if you think UA's bad with the first class employees section AI routinely off loads fare paying pax in favor of employees and AI has a LOT of employees (and they all fly free)
if you do fly them best of luck
if you do fly them best of luck

DO NOT fly air-india, the reasons are too many to list but will try:
1.If flights get cancelled (happens a lot-employee strikes/aircrafts getting pulled out of service for trips by politicians etc)you are on your own-Air india rarely tries to put you on other airline flights.
2.This is an airline owned by governament-ZERO accountability when things go wrong .
3.I have my doubts about their aircraft maintenance.
4.VERY poor security(note recent Indian airlines hijaking).
