**flew half a dozen flights in india early this year - all four corners. flights are not cheap by indian standards, and not significantly cheaper than US travel anymore.

the bad thing about flying in india is that even if you check in a fairly empty suitcase, they will claim its heavier than allowed weight and charge you random numbers. i am surprised air india still exists - they charge as much as the private airlines do, employ a bunch of rude incompetent lazy ground staff and cabin crew, and still run as per the 1980s style of doing business - scolding customers, making them run from counter to counter…**

on the plus side - most private airlines in india have more leg room than economy comfort seats in the US. in-flight food choices are amazing. most aircraft are new and in great shape. and lots of women pilots. _

i agree with you on the above highlighted part. however, i had just the opposite experience except 'on the ground". they aren’t that great on the ground.

i’ve flown with them on more than a dozen flights domestically. i had the piece system so i had no problem with weight. my both bags weighed less than 23 Kg each, a carry-on weighing 7 kg and a laptop. no problemo at all!.

i was served hot sandwich corn bread chicken sandwich, coke, tea, desset and salad on a 50 minute flight from Delhi to Lucknow.

i’m a satisfied customer of Air India. i fly several times a year with them.

i’ve two free tickets for domestic travel. 5500 miles gets me a free ticket from Delhi to Allahabad.
