TRIP REPORT | A Perfect Flight over Himalayas! | AIR INDIA Boeing 787 | Delhi to Vienna
Air India Trip Report flying from Delhi to Vienna, in business class, onboard one of the Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a lovely winter day.
An extremely comfortable flight onboard the Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Delhi to Vienna on the Air India Business Class. A business class flight is, by itself, a very comfortable one but, if we add that only 9 passengers were onboard (out of 18 seats) the comfort grows even more.
After a nice exploration of Delhi airport (including the Air India business lounge) and a great planespotting session, we boarded the Air India Boeing 787 that would take us to Vienna. The business cabin of the B787 has 3 rows with 6 seats on each one. We were in the back right corner, perfect for the outside view as well as for the cabin.
We took off from Delhi and started our route to Vienna, in which we overflew India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Turkiye, Romania, Hungary, and, finally, Austria. We landed around 25 minutes later in Vienna.
The catering service was really good, like an Indian Restaurant in the sky. A main service was offered around 1h after takeoff and a second service around 2h before landing in Vienna. Almost every plate was original or inspired on Indian cuisine, so you can imagine that everything was full of flavors and spices.
The crew was amazing, always checking if the passengers needed something but not being annoying. You felt that they were there at all times but were given the perfect level of privacy by not being at all the time the cabin. On top of that, they always referred to you in an extremely polite way. They made you feel at home from the very beginning.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Air India? Which route? How was the experience? Have you ever flown on the Boeing 787? What do you think about the Air India long-haul business class? Have you ever been in Vienna? Maybe in Delhi?
Lots of things to talk about! See you all in the comments!

Hey HD, could you maybe do a report of ryanjr from newcastle to krakow?
I'm From Saudi Arabia But I Love All Airlines Including Air India And Since Tata Take Air India They Are Getting Better
Thanks so much! Glad that you enjoy these videos so much! :))
Great video thank you for sharing with us keep up the good job
Thanks so much, Hector! :) Glad that you've enjoyed this one! And thanks for the continuous support!! :)
One of the best trip reports I have seen around. Thorough and detailed descriptions throughout making the trip very pleasant and informative. Many thanks for an excellent production.
Thanks so much!! Glad that you've enjoyed and thnks for the feedback :)
Muy bonito este video, las tomas geniales y el servicio se veía rico. Lo disfrutaste. Muchas felicidades. Hasta pronto, esperando el próxim✈️🌏
Muchas gracias!! un placer como siempre! :))
Wow, it's a great joy to fly with Air-India, but the best part was the pie at both lunch and dinner, but everything was great and also perfect.
Your Flight reports never fail always brilliant thank you
Thanks so much!! :)
wow, looking forward to that. might go to india as well :)
See you on the Premiere! :))
Always love your videos. I hope they refit those 787’s with new seats in all cabins
Thanks so much! Looks like they willl do it this year :)
Another great video. Looking forward till next Saturday 👍😁
Thanks so much!! Next Saturday I probably won't upload any video. I'll try my best, but the week I have ahead makes it really complicated...
Ahh okay. That's how it is sometimes, hope you gonne make it well. I'm looking forward to your next video. Have a great evening 😊
Another brilliant video keep up the good work I love this channel❤
Thanks so much, Pauline!! :)
This was a terrific trip report and great photography! Well done! Subscribed to your channel.
I absolutely love your videos, you are the only one who details the plane types and destinations. That being said, the 'clouds' in Delhi when you left looked smog to me.
It was fog at this time of the year. Delhi experiences smog during November mostly.
Yes, many times there's smog over Delhi... but in this case it was fog, acutally, very dense fog.
Wow, those shots of the snow-covered Himalayas are truly magnificent! Your ability to capture such breathtaking shots is unmatched. Keep soaring over the mountains and, of course, over India! :😉
Thanks so much!! :))
Delhi Airport looks class!! Humongous & very Modern. Wish we had a better view of Himalayas. Nice Trip.
It would be amazing to see them without all those clouds....
Not really, it is extremely outdated. The carpet in the entire airport hasn’t been washed or cleaned from ages. There was one room where it was. In that room, it was bright and had a totally different color. The rest of the carpet is black now and the patterns and designs on the carpet have disappeared. There’s no quality AC inside. I was feeling so sticky and yuck inside since there are so many people so they need to have better functioning ventilation system. Bathrooms were shocking. They were like bathrooms of sarkari offices with broken tiles and outdated sinks and uncleanliness. The infinite security checks, first at the airport where someone checks your ticket and passport (no airports around the world for say in US Europe Canada or Dubai has that). Anyone can enter with their family. Then you proceed for bag check and boarding passes, the space is small and huge lines of passengers with poor lighting and ofcourse poor ventilation…then you go through security where the ill-mannered officers harass you…I have unrestricted access to Canada but yet harrassed by the officers asking me details about why I am gng to Canada, what do i do there for work, etc. It’s none of your business if I have the passport of the country (Canada). You should only be checking if I’m eligible to enter the country where I’m gng to. Then you proceed through security gates and the containers are so small that you can’t put your laptop or any bag so just have to leave them like that on the belt and whatever containers there are, are not organized so people are cutting you and the lines and interrupting the flow to try to get containers placed here and there with obviously congested space, then another officer stamps your boarding pass (not done anywhere). WiFi makes you find a kiosk and take a ticket whereas it’s just direct and free in other airports…..when I landed at delhi, the mess around runways with slums around and dilapidated buildings and burned buses and cars with trash right across the runway…at least clean up the area around the airport…roads to departure area are nice and clean though unnecessary honking and poor traffic habits are annoying, got into the parking of the airport where people definitely didnt give a shit about parking within the lines in an organized way….roads from the arrival area are just bad and messy with dust everywhere….harrassed by taxi drivers consistently even when I said no, the other one has fingers in his nose, the third one is standing out there with his hands in his pants scratching his butthole with expressions that I can’t describe and then two Indian ladies arguing over a place to get bags….terrible experience, obviously terrible management…Bengaluru’s new airport is stunning!
fantastic video 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow.I love it when you video one that is completely different ✈✈✈😍
I think this one will be great ✈️✈️
I'll be there 😊 ✈✈✈
Kudos! Lucas. Business class ! Air India is reformulating its entire produc in other to get a better marketing position.This cabin is the old one, they have a new business class cabin.The new A350 cabin is just gorgeous, let's wait and see if they will be able to deliver everything they're promising in the next year or so
Thanks so much, Glauber! :)) Yeah, they aim to be at the level of Emirates and Qatar... it would amazing to see that... Let's see what they can deliver! :)
Guau, interesante mañana estare a las 10:00!

Thanks so much! Welcome back :))
¡Wow¡ , estara muy interesante nos vemos mañana 😉
Creo que es de los que os van a gustar! :)
Seguro 🎉
Awesome
Thanks!
Bonito vídeo , lo que mas me ha gustado ha sido las imágenes de la cordillera del Himalaya con sus cumbres nevadas ha sido impresionante y como tu bien dices sin nubes seria espectacular y también me ha gustado ver el avión que pasa cerca del tuyo es increíble lo bien que se ha visto. El catering me ha parecido interesante por los platos típicos de India y además el asiente para largos viajes está muy bien y si dices que fue buena oferta en comparación a clase turista creo que acertaste al escoger Busines. Un cordial saludo y buen fin de semana.
Muchas gracias, Rafa! Como siempre, un placer :) Tengo que buscar una ruta que pase por esa zona de nuevo... y a ver si hay suerte con las nubes en esa ocasión... las vistas tienen que ser algo descomunal! Por cierto, es probable que el sábado que viene no suba vídeo. Voy a intentarlo de todas las maneras posibles... pero con la planificación que tengo esta semana se hace díficil...
This is AVIATION ❤✈ Amazing!!!! Thanks for your effort Lucas 👍👍 Have a nice weekend!!!!! Xx..........
Thanks so much, Betsy!! Really happy that you liked this one!! By the way! Next Saturday I probably won't upload any video. I'll try my best, but the week I have ahead makes it really complicated...
@@OnBoardHD With pleasure Lucas!!!! See you 😊 Xx........
@@betsy6202I see you in Denys Davydov’s videos 😅
@@FastGuy1 👍😊.........❤🇺🇦
Really nice video! See u next Saturday 😉
Thank you :))
STUNNING Himalaya views!😎👍 You've switched to Apple, what do you think about their camera ..better than Samsung's ULTRA??
Nice video, well made. Hopefully you enjoyed the flight.
Thanks! It was great! And the cabin crew as well! Looking forward to my next trip with Air India :)
It felt like I was in this flight too. Excellent coverage 👍 Job well done 👍👍 Thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind feedback! :))
@@OnBoardHD You’re welcome. I’m game if the flight is business class. Thanks & have a wonderful day.
Menuda pinta tenían todas las comidas!!!Y el asiento enorme!! Bonito vuelo y avión
Un vuelo muy top! Me alegra que te haya gustado :))
These B787-8s will be refurbished and painted with new liveries from July 2024! Finally Air India will get rid of these old interiors and IFE.
That's great to know! Thanks for the info :)
A very detailed and beautiful presentation
Thanks so much!! :))
The food 👍
It was great (if you like Indian food, of course) :)) But who doesn't? :D
My friend another great video.I am sorry that is Saturday and we have to wait till next..Have a nice Sunday.Hello again from Greece!!!
Thanks so much! So I'm sorry to tell you that next Saturday I probably won't upload any video. I'll try my best, but the week I have ahead makes it really complicated...
😭😭😭
Congratulations! ❤
Thanks :))
Hi Lucas.Well it was great to see you travel in style😊.The Himalayas were something else. Couldn't believe some of the rude comments you received after all your hard work but your replies make me smile.Have a lovely restful weekend. And thankyou once again xxxx
Thanks so much!! It was an amazing flight. Looking forward to the next one iver the himalayas. Hopefully with less clouds...
On this route it would be the Karakoram mountain range, off western Himalayas.
Very good 😃 some great views
Glad you liked it! Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Estupendo video! En un futuro estaría interesante que hicieses un Trip report con Virgin Atlantic. No sé si has volado con ellos en el pasado. 🤩😁
Muchas gracias! Virgin Atlantic ya está confirmado para este año! :)
Air India & their business class is Top Notch. Kept you fed & watered in a huge comfortable seat/bed 😊Do you get to keep the travel set & pajamas? 😮Breathtaking Himalayan mts. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
I really enjoyed this flight a lot! I was really happy to have accepted that upgrade offer. Depends on the quality of the pijamas. In this case I was surprised about how good it's. I kept it and I'm using it on a regular basis at home :) Glad that you liked this video!
Fantastic🎉🎉🎉 million thanks
Thanks so much! :))
Excellent reporting ! I thoroughly enjoyed.
Thanks so much!! :))
Ienjoy the views and amazing flight ❤❤❤
Thanks so much :)
Increíble cada semana los TRIP REPORTS son más interesantes me encanta este canal saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨🛫🛬
Un placer que así sea! Muchas gracias por el feedback :)
Excellent video❤
Thanks! :)
great vid. I was really interested to see this one as I have heard a lot of good and bad reviews about AirIndia.
Thank you! :)
Delhi is looking smoggy. Nice airport though. Very big and modern.
Yes, it's always smog there... but in this case it was fog. Mixed with the polution, yes, but fog.
Now, sky is clear here.
Interesante vuelo,hay estare puntual a las 10.00.👏👍🙋🇪🇸
Este es de los que os van a gustar! Incluso veremos un poquito del Himalaya! 😎✈️✈️
Very very good and nice report. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! :))
Buenisimo saludos desde Morelia Mexico...excelente, sigue asi...que miedo volar sobre Rusia donde no verifiquen te pasa un mig 😅
Muchas gracias!! Un placer que te haya gustado! Verifican, verifican :D
You were double lucky! First the business class upgrade. Travel in style; you deserve it And secondly of course the other plane in the air. There are a lot of planes in the air, but still you have to look outside the window (and film in your case).
It was a really nice flight! Happy that you enjoyed it! :))
amazing video!
Thanks so much!
I love your Videos ❤❤❤
Thanks a lot :)
Very nice airplane trip report. ❤❤😊😊💺🧳🌐🌏🌎🌍🗺️🤩🧑🏼✈️👩🏼✈️🧑✈️🛫🛬✈️🇮🇳🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇳. On Seinfeld very funny. I have the B787-8. I enjoyed this trip report. 🇮🇳❤🇮🇱😍
Thanks so much Neil :)
Nice Flight report! Never been through Delhi airport. Only Mumbai, Bengaluru airports. Rarely flew with Air India, as there is no Air India flight from here in Brussels.
I'm looking forward to visit Bengaluru. The airport looks more than amazing!!
thanks a lot we are watching
Good on u mate😊
Glad that you liked the video :))
Nice coverage
Thanks :)
Great trip‼️ I couldn’t deal with the food.
Thanks! It was really good I must say :)
Great no-frills and meaningful content. Also, dhanyavad o gracias, por ayudarme a mejorar mi Español. Kind regards to you and yours.
Glad that you've enjoyed bthis oen! :)
Menudo Video, Que guay!!! Una pregunta, porque no subiste el sábado el trip?
Está en la pestaña Comunidad del canal ✈️✈️
II like your videos ❤❤
Glad to read that! Thanks :)
Sadly, your very southerly flight deviation over the Black Sea is completely understandable...and prudent😉.
It was a great flight. Especially the views of The Himalayas :)
I have found your videos very interesting. It is a humble request for you to fly to and from Amritsar, India. Please introduce this golden destination to our Sikh and Punjabi communities in India and abroad.
Let's see what can be done later this year... Thanks for your nice words :)
Gran video, y gran aterrizaje😂
Muchas gracias!! :))
Looking forward to the vlog sorry can't be there on the live but got to go to Doctor's 💊💉 Rich from Southampton UK
Hope everything will go good! Looking forward to read your opinion in the comments! :)
Good subtitles.
Thanks :)
Another great video! My request on the flight from Westray to Papa Westray is too requested... A new offer: Paris cdg to Dubai dxb with Emirates in Airbus a380-800.
Requesting flights is something for channel members.
@@OnBoardHD Okay, thank you for answering me about this information, continue like this!
The only time I flew business class was on LATAM's Dreamliner. The seats were very similar but the upholstery was a bit dull and the seats did not recline all the way.
I have a ticket booked on LATAM B787 already :) It will be on the second half ot the year :)
La contaminación es sorprendente!
La contaminación es algo muy presente en las grandes ciudades de la India, eso es así. Pero en este caso, más que contaminación era niebla de verdad. Estuvo durante una semana cancelando numerosos vuelos.
Almost looked like a professional job - Very thorough. you sure could ask AI to reimburse for trip expenses BUT don't try this with Delta (your prior long haul trip) -:)
Thanks so much!! Glad that you've enjoyed this one! Looking forward to trying the Air India A350! :D
❤🎉❤
Nice report on Air India, I am glad that new investment in new aircraft and a cabin have arrived as the old Air India there aircraft look really old and in terrible condition.
For what others told me, these cabins will be updated until the end of the year :)
❤ver un video tuyo es pasar un rato agradable este video fue superespertacular me encanto la linea aerea fue maravillosa nunca habia visto un asiento asi de grande la comida estuvo fantastica😊eres un maestro con la camera saludos de jerry carolina del norte usa
Muchas gracias por tan bonitas palabras!! :) Me alegra mucho que te gusten tanto estos vídeos! Feliz fin de semana! :)
enjoyed your footage of Delhi airport ramp and aerial views. Does AI serve western food at all??, and when did Delhi have a smog free day?
Thanks so much!! Well, I think what you saw on the menu is all that was available..
Hope you have enjoyed air india and bro this one is an old livery
I know, but Tata Group has already introduced changes that are upgrading the company :)
@@OnBoardHD hope u enjoyed
Thanks for your pleasant report. Can I please ask if there are any privacy dividers between those business class seats? To have a bit more privacy if traveling alone.
Thanks! No, sadly there are not.
Thank you. Appreciate your reply. Maybe they will upgrade it later.
As usual .. a very enjoyable video. I noticed that you are using an Iphone now instead of the Samsung. Which do you prefer for your videos? Do you think the Iphone is better for your purpose of vlogging?
It is not because I prefer iPhone, it's beacuse Samsung destroyed the best camera on phone since the S23Ultra with a terrible software that makes everything look awful.
11:55 It looks like a Boeing 777-200ER with registration RA-73272 of Ikar Pegas Fly (the only one in their fleet, still in Nordwind livery). 🤔🙂
Thanks for the info. Looks very probable.!
Você deveria fazer o vôo Dubai/ são Paulo no 380 fiz este vôo durante a copa do mundo o visual é lindo sou como você fico observando o visual como você pediu dicas de destinos em outro vídeo segue uma sugestão
Parece un vuelo muy interesante. Me lo apunto para el futuro. Gracias :)
The language is hindi. Hindi & hebrew. Very tasty food yummy.
Yeah, others told me. My mistake there :))
One of the simplest looking terminal need to change their designs. Look at the Mumbai International teminal, one of the best looking airport terminal, I guess.
I agree. Mumbai airport looks amazing, but for what I've seen Bengaluru looks the same or even more amazing! I'm really looking forward to visiting it! :)
I flew in United airlines flight UA816 you just shown in your video.
Hope you got some nice memories from your trip when you watched it :D
I'm not a big fan of the 2 2 2 configurations. Having said that I wouldn't mind flying long haul with Air India 😊
Yeah, I think the same... luckily I dind't have anyone next to me, so it was perfect.
How do you identify planes destination and arrival in your videos
Have you tried any of the asian airlines like japan airlines and ANA I suggest you take ANA 380 to Honolulu
No, not yet, but the ANA A380 is planned :))
💯👍✌
Me alegra que te haya gustado :)
Nice video! I see you have switched from Samsung to Iphone 15 . Is it better compared to the Samsung? We flew with Air India last year in economy. The crew was supernice and attentive and the food tasteful Unfortunately they still had some issues with the hardware like a seat not reclining and no working IFE system but I know they are working hard to get the aircrafts improved
I must say I didn't have a better phone than my S21Ultra. That being said, the amount of battery cycles was already too big... and the new cameras on other phones are improving every year... so an upgrade was needed. The S23Ultra was my first option and I just recorded 1 full video with it. It's the worst camera/software I've ever seen. Completely unrealistic and filtered colors. A terrible phone for me. So I switched to the 15ProMax, just because of the cameras. The S24Ultra apparently has good colors again... but since they don't have the x10 optical zoom anymore... there's no reason for me to go back to Samsung when I'm satisfied with the iPhone cameras at the moment.
Welcome to Vienna my home for alst 34 years. have a question on you.- how you figure out mountains, rivers etc during the flight? or will be doing at the editing.
I'm sorry, but I can't tell that, as it's something that makes my videos different from others... Believe I would love to tell you but I must not. =/ Glad that you enjoyed the video :)
@@OnBoardHD I enjoy it always and its something unique IMHO.
Hello sir Namskar .you make a very informative video but Sir, there was only one shortcoming in the video. You did not show the maximum speed of the plane.
Thanks. Because it was not displayed in the screen ✈️✈️
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I went on this plane 4 years ago
Hope you'll get some nice memories while watching it! :)
we need another wizzair flight
It's not planned for now... let's see in summer...
Hey! I was wondering if u can fly with Air Albania or fly to Albania? No worrys if u cant! :D
For now is not on the plans... let's see after summer :)
@@OnBoardHD okay! :D Thank you for responding!
A ver si un día te pasas por Brasil! 😅
Ojalá ocurra pronto! :)
