Air India Business Class

Airline overview

Air India — now owned by Tata Group — is undergoing a massive transformation with new A350 aircraft. Non-stop flights from multiple US cities to India offer the most direct routing available.

The business class experience

Air India Business Class features Lie-flat with direct aisle access (A350). Seat width is 21 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Air India's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 18-inch touchscreen (A350). Dining on Air India: Indian regional cuisine, international options. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Maharaja Lounge (DEL). At other airports worldwide: Star Alliance partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Air India business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“New A350 product is a significant upgrade. Non-stop US-India flights are unbeatable for convenience. Indian cuisine is authentic. Star Alliance benefits add value.”
