Horrible experience
Singapore - TiruchirappalliAsia
This is an awful airline with no safety standards. the checkin staff Navin in Singapore and Ragadeesh in Trichy were fantastic. They were helpful and polite and I was very happy to have them help me. The cabin crew are very nice and the flight was really smooth so the cockpit crew is experienced. I blame the airline for poor safety and putting the crew's life in misery. The seats are awful, the passengers got drunk with duty free alcohol, did not know how to use the bathroom. Crew were not able to secure all hand baggage due to space constraints. What should the airlines do. Improve the safety DO NOT allow all the liquor bottles and hand carry to be brought into the cabin, don't be greedy think of the safety. Be strict on securing the luggage in the overhead compartments and the use of seat belt. If the airlines doesn't care what can the crew do. Get your act together Air India Express.I will never fly in this airline again but I feel bad for the crew, take care of them.

Air India Express: Pay more, carry less—now that's express service!
Kochi (Cochin) - Kuwait CityInternational
Paid for 3 extra kilos of hand baggage, but guess what? Air India Express staff told me at the airport, 'Sorry, sir/ma’am, only 7 kilos allowed.' So, basically, I paid extra for... nothing! Maybe they thought I was donating to their invisible baggage fund? If you're planning to carry a feather and a dream, this airline is perfect for you. Otherwise, save your money and your sanity. Thanks for the comedy show at check-in
