No more seat upgrades on Air India

Days of getting your "class" upgraded on international flights may be over, with Air India taking a firm stand against upgrades on its non-stop flights. Chairman and managing director V Thulsaidas said the airline has decided to completely ban the practice of upgrading economy class passengers when seats are vacant in the executive and first class categories, especially on non-stop flights.
Air India already operates a non-stop flight between Mumbai and New York and is beginning the same service from Delhi next month. The 777-200 LR aircraft being deployed on the Mumbai-NY and Delhi-NY route can seat eight passengers in the first class, 35 in the executive (business) class and 195 in the economy class.
