Has anyone flown Air India since the acquisition? My options are American or Air India to Delhi - which one would you recommend please? For what it is worth, I have American Gold and United Silver statuses. Unfortunately, the middle eastern airlines are way too expensive for a near term booking

Will American gold give you an upgrade? If not, Air India. My experience with American is that their economy on international is more cramped up than AI

I travelled American JFK>Del business class last month and it was really good… much better than AI and United… but still not par with Qatar or Emirates.

Oh, also ask United if they'll status match.

Only good thing about Air India is that it’s a direct flight and personally, I did not face any delays whatsoever. 2 bags allowance is also good. Apart from that, everything else is bad. Just assume that screen won’t work and the food is just about average. I got a great deal from EWR - DEL, hence booked it.

Overall: 7/10

Book Qatar using American points?

I would never compromise the airline I travel to go back to india - emirates or Qatar are the only airlines I’ll fly.

I have had good experience with Etihad as well
