I tried not to remember how terrible the flight experience I had with Air India, but I figure this count as part of the adventure and could be a heads-up for those who are planning to go to India. I’m not going to describe every little details of what happened with Air India, but PLEASE take my advice it is not worth it for you to fly even the airfare is $1000 cheaper.
We got stuck at the Bangalore Airport for about 10 hours because our plane could not land due to fog. I understand that whether related delay is nothing that the airline company can do about, but at least they should keep us updated with the ACCURATE current information. I specify on “accurate” because they kept giving us wrong information. Whenever they said the plane is going be here at 10am, guess what, the plane did not landed until 1pm.
Once we got boarded to go to Mumbai, we missed our flight to Frankfurt. Yep, that means, we get to stay in Mumbai for a night. We got up early, around 5am, to go to the airport. Gladly the flight departed on time.
Somehow we ended to be an hour and a half late when we got to Frankfurt. Long story short, we landed in Chicago about 2 hours later than our expecting arrival time. While we were waiting for the luggage, the baggage door on the plane froze. So while the airport staff worked to deice the door, we missed our connection flight to Minneapolis.
By the time we all got our luggage and tried to catch another flight to Minneapolis, they told us that there were no more flights going to Minneapolis, and that means, again, we need to stay in Chicago for a night. Oh, that’s just great. We all waited with the greatest patience we had left after all these great adventures while the Air India agents behind the counter writing our hotel and meal vouchers on carbon papers one by one for our entire group. We stood in line for 2 more hours and there’s nothing to eat, drink, or even a bathroom for us to use. I felt like I’m stuck again even I’m back in U.S. now, but you know what, that’s because I’m still with Air India.
With all that been said, I finally made home and I just can’t stress enough how much I miss all the conveniences I have in U.S. I do miss home!
