So If you don't like Indian food then what are you doing in India?
Not bureaucracy. Extra security. Err on the side of caition. Unlike these shoddy British Airports
Tesalate. Wtf
We don't want twin towers explosion in India too ig this bureaucracy is necessary 😉
You're British but seem unfamiliar with Indian food and drinks. How can that be?
Business class travellers… snobbish folks…typical
I have gone to the Aviator simulator, it was a really cool expereince and it was very realistic, it was my first time in a simulator so I was not able to do it that well, but at least I landed the plane safely
6:43 jet airways 🙁
that indeed is cheap
Any flight where you also get Indian food is good for me! Would love to try them out one day 🙂
Did you get told off by security guards for filming?
You don't care for Indian food?!?
Did your tongue fall out?
Hi Paul. I used to transit through IGI/DEL quite a lot. There are so many examples of ludicrous and pointless checks and bureaucracy even in the transit process and all of the comments you make about checkin relate to transit too. How many times did someone stamp your hand baggage tags?? None of this relates specifically to Air India (I invariably used Jet Airways) but the airport as a whole. A beautiful and enthralling country but a chaotic and largely pointless airport protocol.
2:50 They see me rollin, they hatin
Go on oman air fam
Everything country has sm rules. Just accept it n go ahead…..don't complaint against beaurocracy. Every tourist has to face rules of a alien country he visits
Thats bull, you behave like youve never travelled anywhere 🤦♀️
Curry air flight 299
Airindia is the BEST AIRLINE as per India standard.
I found here the service is excellent , every country has their own rule and you are not born in british empire. so do not shift blame on airport authority because you did not prepare beforehand to get to know the rules. Yes the downside is that business class seat has no passage to aisle. This is really inconvenient for a long flight but in this flight and in this price it is alright. I travelled Air India from Calcutta to Delhi in economy class in 2014 and it was a pleasure.
I wish india wasn’t as bureaucratic
Good people in wrong system. Spot on.
You have an hidden agenda to run down Air India and India and to glorify the west.
India is like a taco tuesday toilet personified as a country. Their own citizens are desperate to escape that place, no chance anyone should want to go there voluntarily.
Are you allowed to photograph/video record at airports?!! Last time I tried to do that, a security guard gruffly cut my enthusiasm to zilch! (That was 'awhile ago'!)
Anyone saying "not a fan of Indian food" my man you have serious taste bud issues. 😂
8:08 this is what you came for
Great Video! Paul.. Have you ever came across an African Airline? They have decent business class and are cheap at the same time. I have never been on an african airline but I watch James Asquith's video on Ethiopian Airlines.
BROTHER NOW IT'S KOLKATA NOT CALCUTTA
Bro you pronounce CALCUTTA so sweet
Paul Delhi airport is the best pls don't make India look bad
OOOh, the flashbacks to India airport bureaucracy! I always found the on-plane crew apologetic about the dreadful, dreadful experience in the airports. It's as if the government-inspired low level of service plays with you, makes every effort to complicate your life while you make it to the plane, and then sanity returns as you finally get passed the last idiotic check of the final stamp tag on your hand carry bags. And breathe, you're free of all the nonsense…
Why would anyone in their right mind go to a country like India? I wanna have a shower just thinking about it.
Well, Air India went back to the Tata group and that makes me excited. It was started by them, when in the 1950s the Indian Gov nationalised it ! Side note – the crew is really really nice in Air India.
Lols…. Finally Karma in its purest form….. Bureaucracy by the British, from the British, FOR THE BRITISH.
It is a public airline, run on tax-payer's money…some amount of "friendly vandalism" is to be expected…esp from Indian tax-payers!!! 😂😂😂 And sometimes, they do it just to spite the entitled pieces of shit who work in this airline!!! 😂😂😂
Nice trip report. The airport experience looks confusing.
In India, we don’t have mango lassi. We have mango milkshake or smoothie.
Find any cockroaches and bed bugs?
