air india 777-300er economy class review

SWISS uses this aircraft on long haul flights. Our flight would be operated by a Boeing 777 (777-300ER to be precise). Taxes and fees totaled about $125 per-person, which includes a C$39 Air Canada booking fee on all partner awards. Business class flights on Aeroplan remain a great value. My daughter is far too big for a bassinet onboard, but I was not interested in spending an extra 70,000 miles for her own seat. My five-year-old son required his own ticket while we only purchased an infant lap ticket for my daughter, at a cost of 2,500 miles. We booked using Aeroplan points at a cost of 70,000 miles each.

The entire team was waiting at the galley entry as we boarded, including the flight attendants, the purser and the chef for the Business class cabin.Zurich is the closet airpot to my in-law’s house that has nonstop service to LA and we were carrying a lot of bags, so it made sense to book this rather than travel back to Frankfurt via Basel. Upon boarding, I was instantly impressed by the service. I understand that they want to provide a good experience and get their money’s worth of a very expensive safety video but at around four minutes each you end up waiting a long time for the same video to finish. On the entertainment system, they played one of their famous pre-flight safety videos featuring the Lego Movie characters. Not really a complaint but combined would mean I’d be sliding back and forth trying to find where I left off for some time.

The touchscreen was a little fiddly to use, I found that I had to press quite hard to select my film and my fast forward button was incredibly overzealous, moving up to speeds of 10 minutes at a time. They also had a section of movie trailers for films coming out soon to Turkish Airlines, which for a frequent flyer was a nice touch. They didn’t have an entire series on the plane (like that can be found on Qantas) but they did have a good selection of modern and recent films.
