I recently flew with Air India on flight AI 101 from Delhi to New York JFK on April 5, 2024. The flight departed on time, but the check-in process at Indira Gandhi International Airport was slow, with long queues and limited staff at the counters.

                    The seat comfort was average—definitely not as spacious as what I experienced on Singapore Airlines, but slightly better than United Airlines' economy class. The inflight entertainment system was outdated, and some screens weren’t working, which was disappointing for such a long flight.
                    
                    The food, however, was fantastic! Compared to Emirates, I found Air India’s Indian meal options to be far more authentic and flavorful. The cabin crew was polite and professional, though not as proactive as Qatar Airways' crew, who consistently check on passengers.
                    
                    A major downside was the bathroom cleanliness, which could have been maintained better throughout the flight. Also, the WiFi was non-existent, something that competing airlines like Lufthansa and British Airways offer. Overall, while the food was a highlight, Air India needs to improve its inflight entertainment and service attentiveness to compete with top international airlines.
