The seats are comfortable but can feel a little hard after a few hours, however, what really stands out is the amount of leg room. The distance from the edge of the seat to the magazine holder is 29cms, leaving approx 10-15 cms from your knees to the seat in front.
The other great feature is footrests are provided in economy. Each rest has a rotating massage bar which helps with relaxation and blood circulation.
The light and bright interior along with the redesigned sleek overhead baggage compartments helps relive that claustrophobic feel most airlines have. The quieter engines and air conditioning was a welcome relief. My skin and eyes were not as dehydrated as they normally would be on a flight.
The screens are large approx 24cm (w) x 17cm (h), however, the movie selection was poor. The latest releases were not really latest releases (eg Lincoln). The system did not offer any English music and games were very limited.
Under Hindi movies and audio there was a much wider selection and quantity.
Our flights overlapped months, however, despite the new October inflight magazine indicating new movies we were stuck with the previous months which we had seen.
The drink and meal service was lacking. Lunch 1 ½ hrs into the flight then a light dinner 7 hours later, with no snacks in between. I strongly recommend you take your own snacks as this is a 12 hour flight.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and loved the fact you can fly direct Melbourne to Delhi.

Seat27B
FromSydney - Kingsford Smith (SYD)
ToNew Delhi - Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
Me and my 3 and half year old niece had a chance to take the Air India 301 VT ANJ dreamliner from sydney to delhi on 28 may 2017. For me the flight was satisfactory compared to other long haul flights. The seats were not so good for such a long journey of about 12-13 hours. Some patch works were there in the seats and the reclining option was there but was uncomfortable while reclining due to the hard structure of seat cushion to relax back. The food was good but the options were limited. The most important thing which I felt through the journey was the behaviour of cabin crews. Though my niece didnot had any food from the flight I had to ask some milk for her.I pressed the crew bell 5 times or more and a crew came and asked " what is the problem?" in an arrogant manner. And when I said my niece want some milk and she said me "cant give hot milk only cold milk. If you want will give that." and even she behaved like she is not interested to give anything other than their flight food.which I felt she behaving rude and lack politeness. And many of the passengers pressed the crew bell for many times for different reasons but many of them didnot get any response from the crews. so I think the crews should take a bit concern in customer servicing. All together I will give 3 stars for Air India 301.

FromMelbourne-Melbourne International Airport (MLB)
ToNew Delhi-Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
I chose this air India flight as it was non stop, thus alleviating that awful feeling of having to change often in the middle of the night.l I also wanted the experience of flying on the Dreamliner of which I had heard such good reports. Well, the plane lived up to its reputation as the interior of the cabin has a much more spacious feeling and the leg room is a big improvement. I was in luck on this flight as the loading was light so I scored 3 seats to myself so I could lie down & get a little sleep!
The interior lighting is an improvement too as the cabin was dimmed when no food was being served.
Food was pretty bland airline stuff with not much similarity between both meals. They could have been almost interchangeable. The crew whilst friendly do not go out of their way to offer service as do some other airlines.
Having flown Qantas most of my life with some Asian airlines thrown in you are aware that the crew don't check that all passengers are buckled up and loose stuff is stowed away.
However, I will fly the Dreamliner to Delhi again as a direct flight wins hands down with me.

Seat31J
FromLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
ToAmritsar - Raja Sansi (ATQ)
Flew to Amritsar direct from London. Have previously flown many times with Air India. The great thing is that punctuality had improved over the years even though recently it is very hot snd miss. The fact it is a direct flight was great. Food was average. The TV monitors didn’t work for me and many other passengers complained and got little response from the cabin staff.
Service on the flight was seriously lacking with only seeing the cabin staff on boarding and meal times. Other than that they were non existent which is very sad for a national flag carrier.

Flying again soon. Sadly won’t hold out for an improvement in service. Punctuality will be enough .

FromKolkata
ToDelhi
Awesome experience... felt almost nothing even though there was serious turbulence throughout the journey, specially during the takeoff at Kolkata. The takeoff and landing were super smooth. AI Staff were, for a change, on the younger side (except the lead Stewardess) and very courteous. The food, for a 2hr snacks option, was quite good actually. Dimming effect of window panes were great, so was the changing light-themes inside the cabin. Only glitch was the touch screen of my AVOD which was very reluctant to respond. The headphones were present in the seat pockets and were good quality. A welcome change to the normal AI experience.

Seat3J
FromParis-Charles De Gaulle (CDG)
ToNew Delhi-Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
I enjoyed traveling in business class on this new boeing 787 mainly because the engines are much more silent. This seat is a bit too narrow when sleeping even though I'm a slim person. It's also not soft enough and would need an extra matress to sleep well.
The food is fair but not good enough for business class and should be served in real plates and not in plastic or aluminium plates. The cabin crew was kind and helpful.

Seat14A
FromManama - Bahrain International (BAH)
ToBangalore - Bangalore International Airport (BLR)
It was a lovely flight. The Legroom was very nice. I enjoyed watching Indian Movies. I got a dinner and a mid air snack. The Flight was empty So I got 2 free seats near me to sleep. The flight duration Was 4 hours with a stop in Cochin for 40 minutes. In the conclusion i would say That The Dreamliner Is The Best Aircraft Of Air India.

Seat#NA
FromFrankfurt-Frankfurt International Airport (FRA)
ToNew Delhi-Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
I had 4 flights on this plane (economy)
good was: very silent engines, fresh air (better than in other plane types), you dont feel like in a can because of the interior space, better turbulence compensation system than other planes (A380 I dont know),
the cabin crew seems to be educated by Lufthansa; please send them for education to Singapore Airways

the TV or monitors were out of function. despite of my review and request even to the airline staff this was in vain. the travel was very boring and painful esp with my kid next to me. hope the airline or the seatmasetro guys will work on this and ensure that passengers will not raise this kind of issues henceforth.

FromNew Delhi - Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
ToKolkata - Netaji Subhas Chandra (CCU)
I traveled on 06 DEC 2015. It was very comfortable, the behavior of staff and crew was excellent and the food was delicious. However, the TV was not working and in the last quarter of journey the seat control was also not working. In spite of these weaknesses, I wish to travel again in Air India Dreamliner.
