If AI still has passengers and it still flies full, it is all down to its crew. Not its bureaucracy, not its crafts, not its in-flight entertainment - its straight down to its crew. And they are outstanding. You look for good connections, good food, good movies when you want to fly - but when its real serious stuff, you only want people you know around you.
Could not have asked for anything more. AI cabin crew pulled out all stops - I was upgraded to First Class to be with Mom and Dad. We were given permission to stay in the craft when everyone else deplaned at Frankfurt. And we were given enormous leeway in looking after Dad during the flight. Cannot thank the team enough.
We reached Bombay at 1 am in the night. One of our neighbours, Reema - who works with AI was in the craft minutes after it landed - with God alone knows how many staff members ready to transport Dad throught Customs and Immigration. Before we knew it, Chitranjan Uncle had walked in - got us out and into the ambulance. Checked into Wockhardt, Dad settled in and we called it a night - 4 am into bed. Home. Feels good. Bad traffic, too many people, too much muck. Smells bad. But feels good.
