I like travelling on Air India. It may sound strange to some of you, and I recognize when I talk about it, I'm in a minority. J Many people have many grouses about travelling on Air India. But, I have come to terms with some of the things they cannot give and I'm quite happy with what I'm able to get from Air India – a comfortable seat, fair amount of leg room so that when the person in front of me reclines, he/she is not sitting in my lap. And I've always loved the food on Air India. It's served well, the service is so nice and I do enjoy the non-vegetarian fare.
But, in December 2015, Air India announced that on its shorter flights (less than 90 minutes) they would not serve non-veg food. While I was very disappointed, I thought that it might make sense on short flights for the staff not to have to ask each passenger their choice of veg or non-veg. it would be more efficient. So, I accepted that reluctantly, I must say. But last week, when they announced that on all domestic flights, they were going to take away non-veg, I felt very bad. One of the main reasons why I like Air India is the service and the food, and I felt that it was being taken away from me.
