Passenger outraged over filthy $9000 first-class cabin

A highrolling entrepreneur who shelled out over $9000 for a first-class seat was flabbergasted at what he experienced.

Grubby cabins aren’t limited to coach.

A highrolling entrepreneur who shelled out over $9000 ($US6300) for a first-class seat on Air India was flabbergasted to find that it had ripped furnishings, grime around his seat and a broken-down in-flight entertainment system.

He detailed this veritable in-flight Fyre Festival in a clip with over 2.6 million views on TikTok, New York Post reports.

The flyer, named Anip Patel, had reportedly booked the high-priced aeroplane seat for a 15-hour nonstop flight from Chicago, United States to Delhi, India.

However, when he boarded the plane, the bigwig realised that his so-called sky throne wasn’t exactly fit for a king.

In the accompanying footage, titled “worst aeroplane ever,” Mr Patel shows off his shambolic accommodations, which included ripped and scuffed seats and compartments, a cold towel, and dirt and mold caking everything from the headphones to the power outlet.

There was also hair in the socket and duct-taped furnishings like a youth hostel at 30,000 feet.

“Come with me on the worst first-class cabin I’ve ever been on,” griped the passenger.

“Everything was ripped, ruined or had mildew on it. I understand regular wear and tear but this was next-level.”

While the food menu looked “very promising” with delicacies such as Thai red curry and mini samosas (a deep-fried pastry stuffed with spice potato), they were out of 30 per cent of the items despite there only being four passengers in first class, the flyer claimed.

The items that they did have, meanwhile, were very average with the exception of the soup, which Mr Patel described as “absolutely delicious.”

To make matters worse, the high roller claimed that there was no Wi-Fi and the entertainment system didn’t work for the entire trip — even after the crew members reset it four or five times.

As a result, Mr Patel said he was relegated to “rawdogging” — staring into space — for the entire 15 hours.

“It was a nightmare,” declared the bedraggled traveller, who said he took the first class freebies, including the pyjamas, as a consolation prize.

TikTok commenters commiserated with Mr Patel over his flight from hell.

“Damn what is economy like,” wondered one person.

Another fretted, “This gave me so much anxiety I hope you got your money back.”

Thankfully, after the video went super viral, Air India reportedly refunded the Mr Patel in full for his ramshackle seat.

“I did not file any complaint with Air India but through social media they saw this video — they called me today and refunded my entire flight they did make it right and it’s worth noting,” he wrote.
