In a post on Instagram, Patel wrote,“I recently endured a 15-hour non-stop flight from Chicago to Delhi, and it was far from pleasant. I had heard negative things about Air India in the past, but I was hoping the recent changes under new management would improve the experience-unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There was no Wi-Fi, and the in-flight entertainment was down for the entire flight. First class was in poor condition-unclean, with leftover food and trash still in the cabin, and everything looked worn out or broken. It was a pretty frustrating experience overall. Be aware if you're flying with them.”
In the video, Patel said,“Look at how gross this is,” he remarked, highlighting the worn and damaged condition of the cabin.“There were things moving in every compartment, everything was ripped, or had little wear on it. I understand regular wear and tear, but this was next level.”

He described his experience as a“nightmare” and criticized the service, stating he paid $6,300 for what he deemed the“worst first-class cabin” he had ever encountered.
“This was next level, guys,” he said, pointing to the cold towel.“They've partnered with Ferragamo, which was nice, and the pajamas were quite soft. However, the headphones were a problem-they arrived tangled and showed significant signs of wear.”
