Binsky detailed that his broken business class seat did not recline. To make matters worse, the table meant for dining was unusable, forcing him to eat with his meal placed on his lap atop a pillow.
Air India did not respond to Mint's queries on the issue till the time of publishing.
"I had to eat my meal on a pillow covered in human hair. What kind of business class is this?" Binsky questioned. In an Instagram post, he wrote, "Worst business class experience of my life the other day on @airindia from London to Amritsar. I had to eat on a hair-infested pillow!!! Can you believe I paid $750 to upgrade for this? I'll never be flying Air India again!!"
Dirty Surroundings and Outdated Entertainment
The influencer also highlighted the cleanliness issues on the flight, showing areas around his seat covered in dust and grime. He added that the in-flight entertainment system appeared "like it was from the 1980s," with a non-functional remote. While WiFi was connected, Binsky claimed that internet access was not available.

"Thank you Air India for this miserable nine-hour experience which I spent $750 to upgrade for. I will be sure to never fly Air India again and I recommend you all to stay away unless you want this," Binsky concluded in his video.
