In a Facebook post, the man shared pictures of inside the plane and narrated his experience.

The man noted that he chose his desired seat because he heard of the leg space, and he was not disappointed.

Luke shared what he observed about the food that was served during the flight from Mumbai International Airport (BOM) to Singapore.

He said:

“Air India from BOM to SIN on former Vistara A321neo narrowbody. I chose 1A because some people mentioned the legroom at the front was better and they were right. Pretty comfy seat, food was good, complimentary WiFi the whole flight. Worth the upgrade for sure.”
