I've heard horror stories about AI from years gone by and I suppose they become fables in many peoples minds. It's very hard to change perceptions once the word is out and if they (AI) have lifted their game good on them.

I also heard that CX FAs dread doing the BOM and middle eastern routes because of this reason.

Seriously, the bathroom was fine. AI has two bathrooms fro F pax and I did observe the FAs deny access to a coach passenger. It was perfectly clean throughout the flight. I don't know if the FAs did any enroute cleaning (or if they would if the cabin was busier).
As for "BO," not a problem.
Greetings from her as well, finally went to the Doc today.

I didn't use it, but I think there was in-seat video and audio. AI's website indicates something about DVD players, but I wasn't asked if I wanted one (and I didn't).

Thanks for the great and informative report. The menu sounds sumptuous, as expected flying in F. However, the omission of a breakfast description and failure of the FA's to inquire whether you would like one is a bit disappointing IMHO. This is First Class after all and considering that all the other carriers offer a breakfast service, AI should have a brekfast offering as good as the dinner.

Typically excellent detail and insight that have become a hallmark of PresRDC's Trip Reports. Thanks for gracing this forum with yet another fine effort. ^ ^
