of a nice like medium but yeah there you go there you go anyway i'm going to go on my flight but nice to see you josh have a great flight to kathmandu i will i will see you man you later so i've never flown international from delhi airport before so this is a new experience for me um a bit nicer than the domestic bits i have to say um we're gonna try and find the lounge now see if it's any better than me or any nicer than the air india domestic lounge here let's go and find it thank you thank you thank you [Music] so i'm flying air india business class today on board there bearing boeing 787 back to london and you know what i've never flown air india long haul before i've flown domestically with them and they weren't too bad but it's going to be interesting to see what they're like i've heard so many mixed reviews about their business class um on the service in general especially on the long haul routes so um yeah should be a good little ride home it's about a nine hour flight from here in delhi got me kingfisher one last kingfisher while i'm here in delhi before we get home back to the uk all right time to go home let's go and go on board the air india dreamliner back to london [Music] goodness they're bored in already wow hello thank you thank you hello thank you all right there she is the air india dreamliner that's going to take me home country roads i'm back to london at least hello thank you hello namaste thank you this way please thank you [Music] all right then so air india's dreamliner then welcome on board my ride back to london there's a dreamliner engine of course we've got a nice life flatbed here and the seats very nicely decorated with air india's nice indian restaurants theme that they've got going on here very good very good um nice little screen here ife storage bits with headphones what we've got down here empty literature bits when we go under here usb 3 pin plug of course remote control of water and the controls for the flat bed are up here not too shabby not too but shabby at all about nine hours today back to london i cannot wait to get home it's gonna be a good flight this one i can just feel it in my bones um yeah let's go home nice choice of either watermelon juice or buttermilk um i've had buttermilk while i've been here and it just tastes like off milk so i'm not having that but the watermelon should be nice [Music] very nice so i mean apart from the sort of um indian restaurant theme of air india's um business class um it's interesting it's not it seems in a very well worn condition i'm just looking around the seat here we've got like a little light thing here is sort of broken and exposed there and the 787 a window button look at this look at the state of this look at that dirt oh the grime the grime ooh um but um yeah it's all right i might use this button a bit further down for today's flight this one in front of me is very well worn um and sort of a bit minging but um other than that well the staff are quite nice anyway quite friendly from the few that have spoken to me so far anyway most of them have been busy doing all this stuff but um yeah um not too bad all in all um let's see what the flight's like that's gonna be the interesting thing isn't it so that's why they give you a hot towel isn't it there you go much better it's getting very warm on board now somebody wants to get put in the meter will you i thought this was a delta issue captain come and 40 on and the distance seven thousand four hundred twenty twice you know thank you thank you thank you i don't remember the last time i was handed a newspaper and bought a flight but this is pretty cool isn't it we'll go through the hindustan times later on all right so i just had an alert on my phone that the flight is 45 minutes late um which is great because nobody's mentioned anything on the fly so um yeah looks like we've got nearly an hour delay today um we don't even come back from the gate yet so um interesting all right so not a good start that 45 minute delay is now a one hour delay they've just come on and announced they've hit the technical snag with the airplane which is just what you want to hear before you embark on a nine hour flight um but um yes an hour now until we leave um let's see if we arrive into london today mine bunnies on probably about two hour delay but um we'll see if i'm right or not um hopefully sooner but um it's air india so who knows we'll find out so a passenger across the aircraft has got to their seat and there's like a massive um bit of metal sticking out the seat so now they're gonna see if i can fix that as well good reel in it okay so they've fixed it with a bit of gaffer tape so that's all could i suppose oh doors are closing already 45 minutes after our departure time fingers crossed engine started on the gate on the stand that's a new one on me check out the menu no expense spare there india photocopied a bit of a4 there we go that'll do who needs fancy menu cards anyway i've got no soup clearly soup's the weather destination is expected to be raining and windy i shall get back to you once again please sit back and enjoy the air india in my hospitality thank you [Music] our route back to london today then took us over pakistan uzbekistan and kazakhstan before flying into russia we flew to the south of moscow before crossing belarus lithuania poland and germany before starting our descent over amsterdam into london flight time today was 8 hours and 40 minutes cruising at 36 38 and 40 000 feet all right so finally airborne from delhi heading home back to london it's been fun but it's also been exhausting being here in india um looking forward really to getting home um in about eight nine hours time depending on how long it ends up taking us but um yeah it's just um been absolutely exhausting traveling around india is just it is so exhausting especially when you're on your own as well it can be very very challenging it's not an easy place to travel around and i'm very fortunate that i've had back at home rach um supported me from home remotely even when he's got really really low um and obviously friends as well like josh um who's been really supportive of me while i've been here in india too so um yeah it's been challenging but it's also been quite rewarding i've met some absolutely incredible people on this trip to india um that people that i won't forget and i've had some amazing and really memorable experiences too um on this flight on this trip rather to india it's just been um so nice but i'm not in any hurry to come back just at the moment i've got other places to go to as well so maybe one day maybe one day be back here in india but um never mind let's um sit back and enjoy the air india hospitality on our flight back to london i'm guessing that the last person to sit in this seat was female given that um she's left one of her hairs behind on the window all right so despite the fact that it's an entirely daytime flight taking off at lunchtime and arriving in late afternoon um the windows have all been dimmed um so we're not going to be seeing much out of the window sadly on this flight all right then let's have a look see what air india have left us in our little um pouch and we've got a nice pair of air india slippers i should be sure to check those my boys out later and we've got this a mysterious air inverter envelope nice pair of stylish air india socks and a nice stylish air india eye mask and that's it great um thanks thanks erin here i'll file that with me photocopy at menu so another thing that was quite interesting when we took off is that they didn't make anybody put their um hand luggage from in front of their business class seat into the overhead bins which most airlines do but like this lady in the middle has a handbag there and the guy over the other side has a bag on his um on the floor at the side of him and they were seemed to be all right with that for takeoff so um read into that why you will as well so got me rum and coke for me flight that's all good all good or good in the hood um interestingly when i got on the flight the person was really nice and he came up to me and he said oh you noticed the camera and he's like oh you're filming brilliant um look forward to seeing the video let me know if there's anything i can do to help or anything um yeah since we've had all the technical issues and the delays and things he seems to have changed his mind a little bit and now he's like moaning at me for filming telling me i'm not allowed to film under any circumstances any of the service on the flight or anything like that so um yeah well guess what that means we're just gonna have to be a little bit more discreet don't we but um yeah interesting how they change their mind isn't it very interesting how they um sort of change their mind when they start having issues but um hey warts and all that's how it's going to be all right start has turned up for me food i've got some salmon cobb and a bit of garlic bread should be our ancient tips and let's try this let's try it salmon it tastes salmony which is good for salmon oh my flipping goodness they've just done a lot the window blinds so we can open them just look at this view as we are over the himalayas that is incredible this is why we love flying guys look at this view oh my days incredible unbelievable let me deny this turned up to go for a chicken tikka masala for today's tea looks nice i'll have that in a moment after i finish ogling the himalayas all right then let's check out this dinner we've got chicken tikka masala for me tea tonight or this afternoon rather with a bit of a naan bread or a roti rather which isn't quite an ombre it's like a thin bread um some sauce stuff and yeah let's give it a go quite nice i mean that's curry the last indian curry on this chip oh it's very spicy though flipping it it is a bit spicy but damn delicious though i mean come on i don't care what you say there is no denying that that isn't just absolutely bloody majestic the communal numbers there the himalayas down below it what an absolutely incredible incredible work of art it is flying and seeing this sort of scenery from the pub i mean this is just unbelievable wow yeah the views were fun while the last edward they've just locked the windows down again so we can't see it again never mind although i wanted to look out the window anyway but it's okay it's time for the no philips new review all right we're seeing as though there is no view at the moment i thought i'd come and say hello to the lou and do a little bit of a loo review on the plane with no view um and what have we got down here we got a sink a little signage view like toiletries and stuff relatively clean although there is matter on the floor um lovely which i've been wearing my shoes um hey there's me hello and that's pretty much it on board there india lou so far and how is it going well i mean aside from the delays and the technical problems with the plane and the service and the crew and um actually it's a bit crap really isn't it not that great i have to say um yeah you know me i'll tell you like it is i'm not some um some other youtuber um let's say um i will tell you exactly how if it's good it's good i'll tell you and if it's not good well i'll let you know as well in this one it's in the fair to crap stage i have to say but never mind the good thing is it's taking us home back to the uk which is always a bonus after a trip as long as this one has been so yeah it's nice to be on my way home anyway i'm going back to the seat before i get told off for being in the toilet for too long you know let's go that was the noel phillips blue review all right shall we go through the flight entertainment then and see what options we've got here on air india let's have a little look at what we have movies let's see english hindi regional international let's have a look at english english hollywood latest um okay there's four films let's have a look at the whatever options we've got let's have a look oh five more films on here oh there's actually a few more actually let's have a look i have a few movies there not too many but um not too bad really of course you've got more hindi movies if you want to watch them good choice of bollywood movies there if bollywood is your thing music um content not available okay so there's no music games um content not available there's no games for young ones let's have a look what we got fast and furious wow okay i wouldn't have said fast and furious it was a kitty movie but never mind uh sky bizarre content not available uh discover more we can do a survey i might do that later that'll be a laugh on it let's have a look at the flight map flight map um let's view the route flight data unavailable oh oh oh please wait oh we got an air india logo this is going to be good let's have a look ah flight data unavailable great so we don't know where we are um we can watch love actually if we want to um but other than that um i might just read that newspaper that they gave me earlier eh okay i'd like to be reading light on but um the reading light ain't working either when something else is not working the three pin plug and usb the power power's not working so bring a power bank well you can't pack them in your whole baggage when you fly through india so it's a good job really because you need it when you fly air india anyway amazing let's have a look at the hindustan times shall we if we can make it out in the dark there we go let's have a quick breeze through there we go in flight entertainment old style let's have a look ooh criminal tension flares up in seven states all right so let's add the menu round for the before landing meal another sheet of a4 no it's about spared of course black and white photocopy you know as it is um so here's the choices we've got we might go from the chili cheese yeah i think i'll have chili chicken all right so my dinner's turned up my chili chicken let's get this a girl shall we see what it's like i can already mess with this i am hang on aside from being lukewarm it's probably one of the nicest meals i've had since i've been in india to be honest very nice sorry nice sorry so i have to say that the cabin crew on this flight and i've barely seen them if i'm honest i mean they came around initially with the dinner service then they darkened the windows and went off to the guy to read um and then i've only just seen them again now like an hour before london when they brought round the rest of the food um i did go up to the gully to request a glass of water at one point because i was like really thirsty and they begrudgingly um give me a bottle of water um for like after interrupting them reading their books or whatever they were doing set up in the galley but yeah it's not it's not that great i'll be honest i mean compared to some airlines where they keep coming around every couple of hours with drinks and things but none of that absolutely none of that um any time i've wanted a glass of water i've had to go and beg for it and then getting like scowl that for interrupting their reading material but um yeah not brilliant not brilliant and we still can't open the blooming windows we've still got dark windows and yeah we're not allowed to open them yet clearly i've got no idea where we are because well the in-flight entertainment doesn't work clearly the map doesn't work um so and even like people said before about using google maps to try and find your location but you can't really do that on a dreamliner because they've got these tinted windows which stop you getting any sort of gps signal through them so i've got no idea where we are then they brought through the pre-landing snack and other than the fact that we were originally due to be landing in about half an hour's time from now um so yeah i'm confused i don't know where we are um i guess we'll figure it out um as when they come on and give us an update from the flight deck or something so um we'll figure it out then you'll never guess what the teachers have finally allowed all of us naughty school children to control our own windows yay feel like such a big boy now with all this responsibility after eight hours sitting in the dark but never mind we'll be landing soon anyway [Music] we've started our descent and we're nearly back in england [Music] oh you have no idea what it feels like to see that view out of the window after two weeks on this trip in india it's england it's home yes but it feels good man it feels so so good [Music] oh [Music] here we are made it back in england [Music] oh man i love you this feels so good [Music] thank you very much thank you bye maybe it's back on british soil yeah yeah like kissing the ground but i don't know who's else has walked on this ground so we'll probably won't but um yeah [Music] as always a massive thank you to my patrons for helping to make these videos possible you can join them at the link on the screen now for access to my whatsapp group live zoom calls with me and much much more all right passport control was a breeze straight through there even with me passport not working again like it never does and having to go to see a nice smiley friendly face i was lovely let's go see if my back's made it now [Music] miss suitcase made it yay miracles will never cease i've gone through an entire trip through india and my bag has not got lost once so it's pretty good going i think great let's go and go home hey costa how you doing good to see you well here we are then back at heathrow terminal two after a mammoth trip across india wow um what an adventure that has been um
