We’ve arrived Delhi today and had smooth experience with Air India. Experience might be different for people, it all depends on case to case basis. I’ve had medical certificate so have been given priority at each step like boarding pass, security check etc.
To awnser your question:
Air India will provide two packets. One being snack and other one meal. But this is basic ones like croissant, orange juice, muffin and in other one, samosa, sandwich, orange juice and muffin.. plus some nuts, chips, water bottles.
You may also get your own meals. Nobody has objected on that.
Just avoid liquid items if any.
Few things to keep in mind
1. Please download arogya setu app in advance ans register yourself as there was internet issue at airport I had problem in downloading initally and keep Indian number active as you will receive otp on that.
2. People here in India are doing best and helping. Since the journey was hectic and long, few people lost their patience and started aruging in wearing mask and shield and the process. So guys stay calm and co operate.

Hi everyone! I landed in Delhi yesterday on VBM flight. Wanted to share a few points
1. Everything was very systematic and clean throughout the journey.
2. Food and snack are provided at the start of the flight but it’s mostly snack food so please bring your own food. Not much is open at Chicago airport so don’t rely on buying food there.
3. No pillow or blanket provided on flight so bring your own if you need it.
4. Once you get off at Delhi, everything is again very well organised. It takes time as there are several procedures and steps to follow but there are chairs so at least we don’t have to stand for long. But again, very systematic, organised and safe since everyone was wearing masks.
5. At Delhi airport people are being divided in small groups. 1 is for Delhi and other states and the other group is for Haryana and UP. You stay with your group till the end.
6: I had to go to Gurgaon so I was in Haryana and UP group. The govt officials make you fill a form and help you select hotel for quarantine. However, if your final destination is Haryana, then you have to arrange own transport to go to your city. So either cab or family members can come get you ( weird rule since it fails the purpose of quarantine, but it is what it is).
7. Overall it took me 3 and a half hours after my flight landed to leave the airport.
Everyone at Delhi airport was very nice and was answering questions and queries. It will take some time to leave the airport but it’s very well organised and safe. So it’s worth it. Carry water bottles and be safe.

The passport is taken at the airport at immigration counter and a receipt is given before sent to quarentine hotel. The passport is returned by the hotel after quarentine. This is what my cousin told who returned from USA to Hyderabad in May. He was quarentied for 14 days. They are using middle seat well as well and they are PPE suit to wear to all middle seat occupant’s
