"You should fly from Mumbai. They use ex-Etihad aircraft, which are in better conditions. Also, yes, New York is infamous for terrible catering. I experienced thee while flying with Air France, so you can't blame Air India for that, but yes, the old aircraft a terrible renovation quickly," said a third.
A fourth posted, "When I traveled last year, two bathrooms were not working and same condition as you described. Never again, Air India."
