Hello everyone and welcome to one of the first IndiGo B777-300ER video’s!
Many have been waiting impatiently for IndiGo to start long haul flying and the day has finally come 😃
The IndiGo B777-300ER still has the interior of the previous operator of this aircraft Azur Air. Prior to that the aircraft was flying under the Emirates colors from 2007 to 2019 as A6-EBX.
The plane has a staggering 531 seats on board, so one of the highest densities in the world!
This flight is a joint operation with Turkish Airlines, who is also wet leasing the plane to IndiGo.
The tickets are sold both at the TK and IndiGo websites so there is a lot of confusion for the TK passengers as they suffer a product downgrade. If you don’t need the fine print you wouldn’t know. So that is something that has to be worked on.
It also seems that TK passengers are served a hot meal while IndiGo ones have to pay and those meals are unavailable.
I still need to properly confirm this but the operation is unclear to me.
There is a single row of 7 Business Class seats but it was unavailable for IndiGo passengers to purchase, only on the TK website.
Come fly with me and see for yourself if you understand any of it and if you like the experience 😅
Have a lot of fun!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, India
To: Istanbul International Airport, Türkiye
Flight Number: 6E 017
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-300ER
Registration: TC-LKE
Flight Time: 06:09
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed our video!
Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion and feedback.
Have a nice one!
You can also leave a Super Like as a tip for my work. I’ll invest it all on future trips.

I come for the flight reviews, stay for the technical details haha! Amazing video as always, I've been waiting to see how the new B777 experience from Indigo feels like. I've flown 6E umpteen number of times in the domestic sector (will be flying international with them in just 3 months) and I've always loved the brand. Never had any weird crew encounters, my only ever uncomfortable experiences in Indigo could be the fellow passengers lol. Most 6E flights I've taken reach well before time, and I absolutely LOVE that. My only quip with the airline would be the food, but then again, what more can you expect for the price. Coincidentally, your choice of cup noodles and Coke zero is literally my staple every time!

A week back I was searching for a vlog to see how is Indigo’s B777 found nothing. So I was very happy to see your vlog today. Very good trip report and your captions are very informative. The amount of details you mentioned are amazing and also as I love plane spotting I liked all the flight details you put up. I m sure lot of hard work hours go into it as you have to make note of the aircraft types and the origin/destination details to put up in the video. 👍🏾 Coming back to the Indigo B777 I feel if the interiors are with the original 6E seats it will look good as they have re painted the aircraft they should also install their seats. Currently it looks confusing. Indigo is known for their low cost model so they should stick to it even in their B777 but offer lower fares. With these high fares it does not seem worth it to take this flight as I can get a ME airline flight for a lesser price at full service. As I stay in Chennai all flights are 1 stop and if Indigo is charging a premium doesn’t make sense. It’s almost $500 RT not worth it at all for the low cost model. If it’s $250 I ll fly indigo to IST.

@shan2fly993 6 ай бұрын

Same situation for Bengaluru as well. Was about to book IndiGo until I saw what they offer for the price. Etihad didn’t have a big price difference at that point and I went with them instead. Instead of nonsense like changing terminals in Mumbai at the middle of the night, it was better to take an overseas layover for this one. Just my thoughts.

@nandhaa410 10 ай бұрын

787-9 would be an ideal aircraft for them with around 400 eco + some premium eco seats. Even though they wanted to be a feeder for TY on North American routes but filling those 532 seats with no food or IFE or WIFI would be a struggle. I think Indians are now willing to pay a little extra for premium products.

Waaaaay too many seats. That’s very hard to do so. Imagine that not even Emirates as the world’s biggest international airline fills that many seats on a B777. It’s just hard.

Fantastic video! This is the first is the first ever video of the Indigo 777-300ER on youtube. I am 100% sure that this video will help you add many subscribers and accumulate many views. I have flown Indigo nearly 50 times and have never experienced a rude crew member. However, I always find Indigo crew to be really unprofessional and super-slow. Maybe that is due to the poor quality of training. However, sometimes i have found very nice Indigo crew and had memorable experiences with them. Looking forward to the next video1

@TheLayoverAviation 10 ай бұрын

I wanted to fly this so bad and be the first as I also didn’t find any! So I rushed to fly it, edit and publish it 😊 Look, I know they fly a lot.. And I know it isn’t fun to work for low cost carriers vs some of the better carriers with better conditions, but a customer shouldn’t be paying for that.. I know you “get what you pay for” but that doesn’t mean you should roll eyes at a simple request of mine… anyway, I don’t mind. Each experience and airline is different. For this amount of money I recommend to forget IndiGo and try someone else. I hope you keep experiencing enjoyable moments with them!! Thanks for writing!

It is however one of the coolest flights on EK as it is usually on the high density 2 class B777-300ER and the runway there is the shortest that EK operates to, so have a lot of fun! If it is a 2 class aircraft there are some seats in front of the engine, where the business class usually is at. Have fun!

No IFE, no hot meals especially for indigo passengers and those so called amenities- my goodness, I was horrified to see them! No wonder not much passenger load is visible on this route. If I hadn’t seen your video, I would have been seething with anger at such a convoluted service! Thanks so much for proving us with this vicarious experience! It’s much appreciated.

From what I see your point, YES, it is hard to fill 500+seats in economy and only one row of business class is available. If they want to make their long haul aircraft more famous, they gotta add services like hot meals on board, WiFi, Blankets,pillows,IFE but with some exceptions. Like have less quantity in food serving or maybe for IFE, have free TV shows, but make people pay for movies & games. Their leasing plan is quite nice but the service could be much better.

Hi Alex, your intros are a piece of art! You have been flying on the aircraft, that used to fly mass Russian tourists on charter flights to mostly affordable international resorts - Hurghada and Sharm-El-Sheikh in Egypt, Antalya, Phuket and Pattaya. Many passengers and consuming alcohol before and during a flight, and large numbers have been duplicated on baggage bins so they have a better chance of finding their's row. With the lowest costs in mind, Azure never cared about using the entertainment systems they received from previous carriers like Emirates. This airline was always having troubles with scandals, changes of management, very poor service, and troubles with state authorities. So, Alex, you tried and tested the mud of flying a Russian charter airliner. What upsets me, is that an airline like IndiGo with a state-of-the-art fleet of neo airliners seems not to care much about customer service too. Second-hand amenities are even worse than what Azure was offering on these "drunk" charter flights. Thank you again for your amazing trip reports. You are the first KZfaqr I would pay to continue watching your trip reports if you run out of money or goodwill and desire to share your experience with aviation geeks!

You know, I think it’s not a good idea specially if you fly all the way from JFK and are already tired and hungry. It’s just a bit much to handle. I wish you happy travels!

Indigo is the third airline to fly 777-300ER to fly from Mumbai to Istanbul, with the other being Turkish Airlines and now defunct Jet Airways, which is interesting if you think about it. And fun fact: I actually flew on this exact plane twice when it was flying for Emirates, one time from Dubai to Karachi back in 2016, and another time from Lahore to Dubai back in 2017. I would love to see Air India fly to Istanbul as they too have partnership with Turkish Airlines through Star Alliance.

Thanks for sharing your video. Something tells me you are involved with the airline industrie. You gave us a lot of inside information which is greatly appreciated. I learned so much here. Question: when you mention an airline, equipment and cities served what program are you using? Flightaware, Flightradar24 or others? Im glad you put Indigo in its place. Horrible flight crew members. Keep up the good work.

It's amazing to see IndiGo finally launch international service, though the quality may not be great, it's definitely a big step that IndiGo has taken

They already flew to Istanbul on the A321neo with seems a bit more suitable, although the B777-300ER is more comfortable. I hope the experience improves.

Fantastic trip report, was happy to have come across it. I might be going to India and a TK-Indigo combination was one of the options. Was curious to see what the product is like. It's definitely a major no as this product is disastrous. It's definitely not worth the money. TK should really do something about it so as to improve this onboard product.

@gumnaamaadmi007 10 ай бұрын

A great video! I have subbed. IMO it is better to book a seat with a legacy/full-service airline if you are travelling for more than 4 hours by air. LCCs are great for shorter hops. Unfortunately, Indigo showed they have miles to go with such shoddy inflight service and amenities - best if they stick to the LCC model and not try to punch above their weight. Edited to add that Indigo's cabin crew are known to be rude even when unprovoked. I have flown Indigo several times on domestic and Int'l legs and I have felt the same way.

@TheLayoverAviation 10 ай бұрын

Welcome to the club! I agree with your opinion. I rather pay a bit more for a more full experience. If it at least were their own aircraft, with IFE or streaming, it would be miles better. And yes, they were totally unprovoked. I only went to the galley with my boarding pass and asked for the blanket. And they yelled that they would come to my seat during the service. thanks for writing!

@gumnaamaadmi007 10 ай бұрын

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you and most welcome! If there was one Airline whose inflight service was flawless, it was Jet. It was a great Airline with some really shady s**t going on in the background, unfortunately. I was once flying long haul via Emirates and a Norwegian flight attendant was very rude when I requested an extra bottle of water(I tend to over-hydrate on flights). She was immediately pulled up by the cabin supervisor who apologised to me. That no one corrected those Indigo flight attendants is shameful.

@dukhi_aatma372 7 ай бұрын

Running LCC business on long haul is quite surprising tbh! Unless I'm on a really really low budget, I would always prefer to pay a bit extra and get a ticket of full service carrier for 7h flight. Can't imagine being crammed in a 500+ grumpy passengers with no entertainment and proper food!

@explorewithairkid12 10 ай бұрын

Was curious to see any sort of report on this route for so long! Thanks for sharing. The livery seems to be the only nice aspect of it. Everything else seems horrendous like the service, IFE, and buy on board "meals". Especially considering the price and alternatives available. Indigo better just stick to their short and medium haul flights if this is going to be the standard.

@TheLayoverAviation 10 ай бұрын

My pleasure 😊 I agree on you with everything else.. It’s just not their business model and I don’t think it will work out.. Many low costs trialed the long haul model and it didn’t work. Time will tell!

I think Indigo will have a tough time running this ultra low cost model on long haul flights. For an average Joe, they don't understand the difference in revenue models. They'll simply compare what services other airline companies provide on the same route, and would expect the same from Indigo. And unless Indigo price its flight really low, people won't mind shelling few extra bucks for the comfort that comes along with it. Comfort is really import on any long haul flight. Just my 2 cents.

Makes a lot of sense. Was about to book IndiGo to Istanbul until I saw what they offer for the price. Carriers like Etihad didn’t really have a huge price difference for Istanbul route. Went for Etihad instead and enjoyed it

Fly more airlines from Mumbai or to Mumbai, it would be great to know what airlines has good service, like I hope you do flights from Africa, or USA, maybe Europe!! Other than that, Great Video, I was very surprised by how boring the flight is, I was hoping to fly this to India but now I know the truth so my money is going to be Turkish airlines only!

Completely true Neville! And I wanted to mention that as well but I don’t know exactly what the reason is. I believe the plane changes from flight to ground mode and sort of prepares for spoiler deployment etc. But I’m not 100% sure so I’ll have to confirm. On an anecdote, not even my B777 pilot friends knew much about this as they simply never heard from the cockpit!
