A Tale of Two Flights- Indigo and Air India
I flew with Air India to Sri Lanka and with Indigo to Nepal. Both have been recent vacations, I have enjoyed a lot on both. And guess what? All the flight were on time too! The choice of the air carrier was determined by cheap airline tickets. To Sri Lanka I was traveling with my…
Majestic Skies on a Delhi Mumbai Flight
Took this picture somewhere on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai. I was amazed at the number of rays I could see with the eye. Not the same effect in the picture. For the nth time I love sitting on the window seat on a plane because of this. At 35000 feet sometimes the drama…
Finding Air Tickets for Sri Lanka
I recently became interested in exploring trips to nearby Asian countries. The first thing I look at is getting easy visa or visa on arrival. I tried to go to Hong Kong but that trip didn’t come through. The next country on my mind was Sri Lanka. It is nearby, it is almost as expensive…

International Flights- What Fun They are!
I am not a frequent flyer and hence the headline of this post. For me flying internationally is exciting and fun. Going by my recent experienceinternational flight booking is not so much fun sometimes. My card was charged and no tickets were issued on a recent attempt! But let that not take away anything from the…
Immigration Experience at London Heathrow and Manchester Airport
Between 2007 and 2011 I traveled to UK (for work) 5 times. I went through London Heathrow thrice and Manchester twice. From London I would then travel to Oxford. And from Manchester my destination has been Lancaster. I actually liked Oxford City a lot. I would spend sometime in London as well but I am…
Mumbai and Jet Airways- Always on Business
There are certain things that I always end up doing on business- like flying Jet Airways and visiting Mumbai. In the recent past I can remember only one Jet Airways flight and I actually took it to Mumbai for attending a conference. Trips like these mean I work hard and hardly get to explore the…
