Mittal and his wife had booked business-class tickets for what they expected to be a comfortable journey. However, upon boarding the flight, they were shocked to discover that one of the seats in the business class was in poor condition, with a broken footrest.
Taking to social media platform X, Mittal expressed his frustration, describing Air India’s business class as “the most pathetic” he had ever encountered. Mittal shared his experience, mentioning that at the time of booking, a new plane with a cabin was shown, leading them to expect a higher standard of service.
