Which one has better economy class (British Airways, Qatar Airlines, Emirates, Ethihad) to fly from US to India?

[RSUCHOU]

QATAR>Emirates>Etihad>BA -- That is my order of preference. Qatar has the best food and decent leg room and best service. Emirates of late has become really negligent with their baggage handling, especially for economy. Their entertainment content is the best. If you are a person that is on their FF list and have access to the Lounges, they have the best food, but unfortunately the lounges are always full. Qatar on the other hand has decent food options and relatively free lounges. I love their new Al Mourjan Business lounge. 
Etihad is rejigging their flights, and had a good leg room. Food is decent. Lounge is decent as well. BA has the worst service and most of their staff are haughty and obnoxious and they subject you to more checking if you hold a non american/european passport.

Agree. Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, BA in that order.

Downside of British is luggage. They give lesser luggage compared to other airlines.

Emirates - Excellent service and food. Cramped legspace

British - Good legspace. only 1 luggage allowed. Not great connectivity to all places.

aAir India - Excellent legspace. Good food. Service is OK but toilets are bad due to all Desis esp parents who do not know how to operate western toilets.

Ethihad - Decent legspace. Horrible service.

Pick your poison ...

Air India is full with Indian parents esp traveling by themselves. Other airlines I see also Indians but ppl who have been in US for a while. Our parents are not used to cramped toilets which is confusing for ourselves also.

it could also be that other airlines might be cleaning them more often.

after reading all replies; 

British Airways travel cheyale kaani; 

AirCanada, Airfrance,

United

Emirates 

Qatar  

Etihad 

Ee airlines lo travel chesa; most of the times I chose airlines whichever got me cheaper price at that time. 

comfort and convenience depends on the type of aircraft. Cabin Crew behavior and food ante inka daivadheenam. 
taxining nunche naa sleep shuru aithadi so aircraft food was never a big deal. 

parents vishayaniki 

for me Airbus A380 Emirates ;

United Boeing 787 dreamliner  Delhi-EWR/ Mumbai-EWR routes was more convenient; 

Premium economy with United on the above route was good too; for parents little more money I would book premium economy. 

Qatar was decent overall

Lufthansa is now flying to Hyd….middles eastern avoid cheyalante Luft better. 8 and 8 hours…

@Android_Halwa

Lufthansa is $300 cheap for my travel dates compared to other airlines...but there is stop in Mumbai while going to India. So the customs will be in Mumbai and domestic arrival (no customs again) in Hyd?

Yeah, immigration will be in Mumbai. BOM-HYD is just domestic, so you just collect your bags and walk out of the airport..

Most of the time, Lufthansa has competitive prices in Premium Economy…keep an eye.

Choosing the right airline for long-haul flights makes a huge difference, especially in economy class. Comfort, service, and reliability all play a role, but budget options can be tempting too. Had an experience booking through https://volaris.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html for a shorter trip, and while the ticket price was great, the extra fees added up fast. The flight itself was fine, but navigating the policies took more effort than expected. Sometimes, paying a little more upfront saves a lot of hassle later.

Struggling to pin down between Qatar and Emirates. Which one va? Roughly how much does it cost to upgrade to business or premium economy in Emirates? Qatar does not have premium economy
