  • Journalist Rahul Srivastava shared photos on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the uncomfortable 'XL-front row window seat' that lacked a window and elbow space.
  • Air India responded to the post, stating they would review the matter internally, but the incident sparked widespread discussion and similar complaints on social media.
  • Srivastava blamed Air India for the seat configuration, noting that such rows usually have two seats and a proper window gap.
  • Social media users echoed his sentiments, sharing their own negative experiences with Air India's seating and suggesting eligibility for compensation under consumer protection laws.
