Author's Most Memorable Moment
Trying curry for the first time ever on Air India, I wasn't quite sure what it was. After I tasted it, I didn't know whether that's what real curry tasted like or whether that was what airplane curry tasted like. I later discovered it was what airplane curry tastes like.
Bottom Line
Air India offers competitively priced tickets that beat out the majority of airlines, and you get a fairly good in-flight service from the flight attendants.
