Passenger outraged over filthy $6,300 first-class cabin: It was a nightmare

Grubby cabins aren’t limited to coach.A high-rolling entrepreneur who shelled out over $6,000 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 inflight Fyre Festival in a clip with over 2.6 million views on TikTok.The flyer, named Anip Patel, had reportedly booked the high-priced airplane seat for a 15-hour nonstop flight from Chicago to Delhi, India, the Independent reported.However, when he boarded the plane, the bigwig realized that his so-called sky throne wasn’t exactly fit for a king.In the accompanying footage, titled “worst airplane ever,” Patel shows of 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 apoplectic passenger.
