A Singaporean woman’s maiden flying experience with Air India is winning hearts online. Grace Glazee, who was travelling to India for the first time, shared her journey on Instagram, and her post has gone viral.
On March 25, Grace uploaded a reel on Instagram showing her travel moments onboard. She captioned it, “Fly with me to India 🇮🇳 for the very first time on @airindia !!✈️ Let’s see how this goes!” From the very beginning, she seemed impressed with the airline’s services.
In the video, Grace is seen comfortably seated with ample space around her. She said, “sooo much leg room and storage space for my bags,” clearly enjoying the comfort.
She also shared a moment where she was sipping a glass of juice, saying, “Before the flight even took off, the pampering began, I was served a fresh pomegranate juice. Because hydration… but make it luxe.”
Grace also received a unique blanket on the flight which caught her attention. “Then comes the most gorgeous tapestry blanket,” she said, referring to the floral shawl provided during the journey. Amazed by the gesture, she added, “I’ve never seen anything like this on an aircraft. This is the new standard.”
As part of the amenities, she received a kit with all the basic travel essentials. “And of course, we also got the essentials,” she shared while showing the headphones, slippers, eye mask, and socks. But what surprised her the most was the self-care pouch. “Excuse me, am I in a five-star resort or on a plane?” she joked, showing the spa facial mist, lip balm, essential oils, and body milk included in the kit.
Grace was also impressed with the safety video shown onboard, calling it “Bollywood-themed”. She said, “And the safety video? Bollywood-themed”.
Once the plane took off, Grace explored the entertainment options. “Now that we’re flying, it’s movie time!” she wrote, before picking a romantic film. “The selection is stacked, but let’s go with some romance because, let’s be real, love hits different at 35,000 feet.”
Her in-flight meal was another highlight. She shared her excitement over the food, especially the Indian dishes. “This is the best popcorn I’ve ever had,” she said while enjoying a snack. She chose chicken tikka masala from the four meal options and added, “Who knew peak living was devouring authentic Indian food in the sky?” Her meal was completed with mousse cake and a cup of masala chai.
As the flight neared its end, Grace relaxed in a lie-flat bed after using the face and eye masks. Her final thoughts summed up the whole experience. “Next time I need a break, catch me on Air India again.”
