Everyone keeps talking about how Air India flights of the Indian ‘National’ carrier, is going to the dumps. Being the staunch nationalist that I am, I always refused to go by the hype. After all, I had travelled a few times by Indian Airlines, the domestic carrier, and found the services fairly decent – surely its elder brother wouldn’t be as bad as people kept saying all over. Things couldn’t be so bad –the optimist in me always said.
This was my stand till my visit abroad with my family recently, when my tour operator fixed up a schedule that had the country’s premier carriers ferrying us from country to country.
