Join me on an unforgettable journey as I fly business class with Air India from India to Paris, then take a train to Nice and explore the stunning French Riviera! From the beaches of Nice to the glamour of Monaco, this trip will give you a taste of the best of the south of France. In this vlog, I’ll show you what the in flight experience is like flying Air India’s business class from everything I ate on my business class flight to the seats, amenity kit and what the overall experience is like. I also did a day trip from Nice to explore the charming Eze village and the second smallest country in the world: Monaco, where we saw the changing of the guard ceremony, some stunning views, and also checked out Monte Carlo. I also made my own perfume while in Eze, so all in all, this was a great start to my time in Nice! More from here in the next vlog 🙂
Thanks to Air India for sponsoring this trip.

Hey everyone it’s cria welcome back to my channel I am at Delhi airport right now and I’m super excited because this is actually my first trip of 2024 and I am headed to Nce and I’m doubly excited because I’m actually flying business class today so I’m flying air India’s business class flight from to Paris and then I’m going to be taking a train from Paris to nce so very very excited to be back in Europe and to be flying business class
We still have some time for our flight to start boarding so I figured I’d go get some food at the Air India Lounge so I’m now at the Air India Lounge this is only accessible to business class and first class Passengers just grabbing a quick bike before our flight and there’s so many options here also I’m not traveling alone this time I’m traveling with my friend Frey hi so we’ve actually traveled together before in Europe uh so it’s really nice that we are getting to go back again
Together but anyway there’s actually a lot of uh food options over here uh so gotten myself some paner Bui some potatoes eggs and a coffee much much Needed So just boarded our flight and we have the most spacious and comfortable seats let me show you around this is literally how much leg room we have my feet don’t even reach that I’m too tiny for this but we’ve got some blankets and bedding to use later on got some magazines here
This is the control panel so we can actually completely decline our seats they also have a charging port some water a remote to control the entertainment system and as soon as we sat down we were served some welcome drinks then we have the food and drinks
Menu so we’ve got a really good choice of options in terms of what we can Eat so our flight’s finally taken off and this is going to be our home for the next 9 or so hours I think that’s how long the flight is and they came and took our food and drinks order uh and the food menu actually looked really
Good so I’m excited for lunch today and also they gave us noise cancelling headphones so hopefully later on this flight I’ll catch a movie I also want to catch up on sleep and get some work done 9 hours sounds like a long time but I feel like when you’re in business class
Time just goes by really fast but yeah the seats here are just so spacious and I’m loving all the space that I have over here we also get slippers for the flight which is very nice and you can store your shoes There so just got my hands on the amenity kit it’s from Tumi let’s open it and see what’s inside it I’m always very excited by amenity kits on aircrafts and I usually like take back home um things from them this case itself is actually really nice very useful for like my
Future travels so this is what it’s like from inside we’ve got an eye mask I actually lost my eye mask so I’m going to steal this and take it back home got some socks there’s a pen really nice looking pen we’ve got some skin care products we’ve got a lip
Moisturizer pretty nice then we’ve got a face mist again I feel like this is a really nice thing to have in your bag this is actually so refreshing and it smells really good and they’ve also got this tiny cute little hand and body lotion and lastly we have a dental kit
So yeah this is such a nice amenity kit honestly I’m definitely taking it back home they also gave us like these night suits which I’m also going to take back home I feel like these are always so comfortable so after lunch I’m going to change into them take a nap and uh yeah
Overall all this light is such a Vibe oh my God so we’re flying over the Hindu Kush mountains right now and the view outside is just so insane look at this so our appetizers are here and I ordered a zucchini cream cheese roll with cranberry salsa it’s honestly
Looking so good like the presentation is amazing and there’s some bread on the side I think garlic bread and uh aenda honestly every time I’ve flown Air India the food has actually been amazing the food I think is prepared by chefs from the Taj Hotel so it really shows in
Terms of the presentation and I’m going to dig right in this looks very delicious so let’s see how it tastes my God the cranberry salsa is so good and the cream cheese roll as well like it’s really refreshing super delicious the main course is served and
Oh my God there’s so much food they have like two vegetarian options and two non-vegetarian options and I’ve ordered the Indian vegetarian option which is basically par paneer pulav the Dal beetro kaita and they also have fighing hot pulkas so yeah the spread is looking amazing I feel like we’ve just been
Eating ever since we got on this flight we kind of dimmed down the lights because everyone else is asleep because I’m Vlogging I feel like vlogging no one realizes but everything just takes twice as long so everyone else is done with their meals meanwhile I’m on my Resort just woke up from the most epic nap the seat was so comfortable honestly there’s only 2 more hours to go for this flight uh and I’m so sad because I just want this to like go on forever I want to sleep for longer and um it’s been 10
Minutes since we woke up and we already have more food being served to us which is looking insane so all we’ve done on this flight is actually just eat and sleep and eat some More ending my meal with some coffee and they also have snacks from L 15 Patisserie the cookies in these two Flavors So we’re about to land honestly I’m so sad that the flight’s over already 9 hours just flew by uh but yeah the Sun is setting outside the view is really nice and I’m just feeling very very refreshed after my nap and all the good food may I have your attention please
Air India is pleased to now on time arrival in Paris welcome to Charleson International Airport rep where the local time is 5:55 p.m. and the outside temperature is 7° C finally made it to Paris after what felt like the quickest flight of my life but honestly it was
Such a smooth and comfortable experience right from the checkin uh to the boarding process and of course the flight itself was really nice also we landed here and cleared immigration I think at lightning speed we literally got done in like 5 minutes and because we were in business class our luggage
Also arrived early so we’re just like done with the whole postflight process in like 20 25 minutes I think which is great but speaking about my Air India business class experience this was actually to be honest like my fifth business class flight on Air India so I
Have experienced it before uh but I’ve never vlogged it so I thought it might be nice to show you what the experience is like so I think the Highlight for me honestly or two things one is the food it was just so delicious and compared to like my previous Air India business
Class experiences which were also great I feel like today the food was exceptionally good like I really enjoyed all the meals and the second really great thing was the staff they were super super nice and very accommodating that’s something I feel like every time I fly Air India their Hospitality always
Stands out but anyway like I mentioned Paris is not my final destination I’m traveling to nce tomorrow which I’m super excited about uh but yeah quickly going to book a cab now and head to my hotel already Monday cuz I’m tired of the Munday could you just come and take my
Hand good morning everyone from Paris had such a great uh night’s rest in the city and like you can tell I’m at the train station now about to take a train to nce so Air India has multiple alliances through Interline Cod share and Intermodal connections so I’m using their Intermodal connection and taking
This tgv train from Paris to nce so the train is about to leave in 10 minutes let’s go inside and find our seats for and I think we’re on the same page and I hear what you’re trying to say so on the train from Paris to n this is
A direct train and uh it’s basically I think almost 6 hours long so we’ve got quite a while on the train the views along the way are amazing and because we have so much time I thought I’ll just get some work done as well change the PO
Plants don’t know where to go but we’ll just back our bags anywhere as long as I’m with you let’s run away look a take it one way let me imagine it just for a moment let’s run away on a summer day I’ll book us a whole so made it to niece just checked
Into our hotel this is the AC hotel by Marriott and it’s in a really nice location because we’re right by the prominade the train journey was so scenic it was by the coast so it was just stunning so many amazing views so I’m really excited to be here in nce
Honestly pry and I both we were talking about it we’ve been wanting to visit the south of France yeah we’ve actually spoke about it so many times it feels like a manifestation I know like last year we were actually planning to do it it didn’t happen uh so really excited to
Be here so quickly going to change freshen up and uh it’s already I think the Sun is going to set soon so I don’t think we’re going to be able to do much today but I really want to walk outside maybe catch the sunset so yeah let’s get
Going just came up to the rooftop of my hotel and the view from here is so amazing the sun is about to set so uh we’re just going to head over to the prominade there and take a walk but oh my God this is so Beautiful so in the back there is a hotel just made it to the prominade and look at that view how beautiful is this I think this is one of the prettiest sunsets I’ve seen this year and I’m just so happy to be near a Beach so for our first meal in nie we’ve come for dinner to this place called luchina which we actually accidentally stumbled upon but turns out this place has got a really good rating online and the food is looking so delicious so I ordered myself a pasta with truffle cream which is honestly smelling
Delicious so let’s Dig this is so good we definitely need to come back here again to eat while we’re here this is really [Applause] good me imagine it just for a moment good morning everyone it’s officially our first day in nce and today we’re actually doing a day trip so niece is on the French Riviera and besides niece there’s actually a lot to see around the city itself so today we’re doing a day
Trip of uh this Village called EZ and uh of Monaco which is a whole other country nearby so we just stopped at the first Viewpoint along the way and look at that view you can see the whole city of niece behind me and it is such a spectacular View
The next stop on our tour is this cute little village called EZ so this is a medieval village I think from the Middle Ages and it’s built on a Hilltop so you actually have a really nice view of the water and the City from here here and we
Have an hour over here to just walk around uh and explore this place there’s a shadow here with a nice Viewpoint which is where I’m walking up to but oh my god look how cute this place is literally feels like a fairy [Applause] Tale this is such a cute Place totally worth visiting so interestingly enough our guide was actually telling us about the history of niece and nce used to be part of Italy even until like mid 1800s I think which uh I didn’t really know I thought that was interesting so if you
Look at the buildings here they do sort of have like an Italian influence to them and the Italian border is just half an hour away from nce so this region of France actually has lots of perfumeries we are now at our next stop which was literally like a 5minute drive from l so
In the back there you can see the shadow where we were and this is our next stop we’re at fragonard’s perfumery and uh we basically have a tour booked here I’m not exactly sure what to expect but I think they’re going to show us how perfume is made which is very
Fascinating so let’s go inside and check it Out it’s like citrusy lemon so I’m at the fragonard perfumery right now and we just had a really nice Workshop explaining how perfume is made we tried out like a few different fragrances and now we get to make our own fragrance which is really cool I’ve never done
Anything like this before so this is very exciting and then we can take some back home as well so kind of complicated love face from another so I want to make mine more floral and citrusy those are the notes I like this was such a cool experience
Really enjoyed making my own perfume I didn’t expect to do that over here so that was really nice Also I ran into a subscriber of mine which was really cool at fragonard in EZ of all places but anyway let’s head to our next St
The next stop on our tour is a brand new country I am now in Monaco which is supposedly the second smallest country in the world it was quite a short drive away from nce and we’re basically spending the next few hours exploring different spots in Monaco in case you
Haven’t heard of Monaco this is basically like the playground of the Rich and Famous Apparently one in every three person living here is a millionaire for now we’re just walking up to the Palace I think in 20 minutes there is a Changing of the Guard ceremony happening so let’s go check
That out so first impressions of Monaco not surprisingly it looks very rich and fancy I mean look at all these buildings extremely fancy I think we’re now in the Oldtown part of monopo because these buildings look quite cute and ancient and very old toown like I
To I play oh on the way you love this here is the Palace of Monaco and looks like the ceremony is about to start so let’s go check it Out Mom Oh that was quite a cute changing of card ceremony took like 10 minutes but basically on both sides of the palace the views are spectacular so just walking to check those out Now ruled by the house of Grimaldi for over 700 years monu holds a rich tapestry of history and culture it’s supposedly has more police per capita than anywhere else in the world so it’s possibly one of the safest places and it’s home to one of the most famous
Events in Motorsports The Monaco Grand PRI oh this is like a famous point for Formula 1 Black after a short drive from here we made it to Monte Carlo a place that is the epitome of luxury and opulence the last spot for today is Monte car which is looking very very expensive and fancy so this is right next to Monaco and it’s famous for casinos and also
Formula 1 so Grand Prix every year happens here and also this behind me is the famous Casino I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie Monte Carlo Selena Gomez is in it so that’s kind of my only reference of course and Casino Royale but the place is looking really fancy
You can also see lots of designer showrooms in the back there like the most expensive Brands and people queuing up outside to go shop so yeah it’s quite a different world out here Done with our tour back in our room now it was such a fun tour we covered so many different spots and honestly I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I really enjoyed s it was so beautiful and of course Monaco as well was just really nice can’t believe we ticked off another
New country in one day uh but I feel like doing a tour like this makes more sense for Monaco because there isn’t that much to see and also if you stay there uh it is way more expensive so it’s nice to like just stay a niece and
Do a day trip also our guide Michael was so nice he kind of like took a detour and showed me around a few other spots in nice took me to the port area and niece and the whole of French Riviera is so beautiful so I’m here in N for two
More days so you’re going to be seeing more of niece in my next Vlog so do subscribe to my channel I hope you enjoyed this video I am so excited to be here and to be traveling again and I will see you all next time in another video bye
