My 13-hour flight on Air India's legacy Boeing 777 business class offered a lot of legroom but barely any privacy.
  • Air India has a reputation for having an awkward business-class product with regularly broken seats.
  • Although the airline is introducing better products, the old seat will fly until at least 2025.
  • I tried out the dated product from New York to Delhi — it wasn't great, but could have been worse. 

Air India is getting a makeover.
