Here's what it's like to fly business class on the Air India 787 Dreamliner - and for a low-ranking airline, it's pretty luxurious

Air India might not be an obvious choice for a flight from New York to London - but when Zach Honig, editor of The Points Guy, spotted a one-way business class ticket for $1,226 (£870) he couldn't resist.

The airline doesn't even rank in the top 100 in the world, according to Skytrax, but Honig's recent experience was surprisingly good - luxurious even.

Especially when you consider that this wasn't Honig's first time flying AI. The first trip he took with the carrier in 2017 - Delhi to New York - he deemed "arguably the worst business class flight of my life."

This time, he flew the Air India 787 Dreamliner, documented his trip in a blog post, and shared photos of the trip with Business Insider.
