$500-$750 (Not everyone may bid for it). If you are very keen, try to go for the higher number. Else, low ball them with $500. Air India may not have best of business class service but it’s certainly better than economy. Nothing compares to Qantas or Emirates.

Btw, this is a sliding scale bid. Meaning once you click the link and give some details, your bid has to be within a range.
I went in and thought, let me bid for $200, what’s to loose. Then realized that the bid started at $1200. See ya!
Am1 is right.
Each segment is on a sliding scale. EWR-DEL starts at $1,200. Return starts at $875.
My plan was to maybe go up to $200. So I'm not bidding anything 😊
This is my second time flying AI, out of about 12 trips I've taken to India. I try to avoid it as much as I can. But the price this time around was so low that it was a no brainer. And I'm not flying with family so I can just tough it out.

Just go for it man. Sometimes, It’s not worth to spend $100’s dollars for crappy entertainment (emirates movies suck), sub standard food (which airlines have best food that you cannot get outside).
I don’t understand what the big deal about airlines. My priority is, cost, layover, timing. Rest, I can manage.
If you bid an amount, do let us know how it went. This will serve as a good guideline for some of us who are traveling this summer.
I mean air India business class is trash - so depends what you mean is it worth it
They fly the 777-300 these days for non stop flights between India- US. I flew business earlier this month- my review is that their infrastructure is veryyyy old and needs a complete redo. TV screens are so dated that there is a 1-2 sec lag when I press a button. But I paid for the lie flat beds, so not complaining. Service was good, much better than economy, where it’s just so chaotic.
Going to be 1k each way to win
We are all cheapsters I say start at $111.11

Oh boy - I’d never fly air india let alone pay for an upgrade. Last trip I took a month ago, I splurged and flew emirates business - would not do it any other way.
