WHY AIR INDIA?

I am 81, and I am hearing impaired. I have a son in Hyderabad, India and a daughter in New Jersey, USA.

So I have to live with my two children. To be with my daughter, I have to visit the United States every year.

Since 2013, I have visited the USA eight times. For the first two visits, I flew by Etihad and Emirates Airways.

For subsequent visits, I flew ONLY by Air India flights for the following reasons.

1. I am an Indian and I want my money to remain in India.

2. The flights are mostly direct flights from Mumbai or Delhi to the United States. (The passengers are pooled from other destinations in India.)

3. Since I am hearing impaired, I will not get stranded en route since it is a direct flight.

4. All the flights depart from the same terminal where it landed and hence there is no problem with change over.

5. Air India management has done a lot of philanthropic activities and I wish our national airline to survive.

6. I feel that the seats on Air India flights are wider and more comfortable.

7. Air India provides Indian food mostly a combination of South Indian and North Indian cuisine.

8. The air hostesses wear sarees which look more Indian and traditional and beautiful. They have Indian accent.

For the above reasons, I request you to fly by Air India flights if you make an international trip.
