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 … Read more
Singapore is always going to be special in my scheme of things. It was my first tip abroad and it was to attend an academic conference at Nanyang Technological University. I was a Ph.D. student then! It was not only my first international trip, I was also flying for the first time in my life! … Read more

I was not always a fan of flying. There were two reasons for it. Tickets used to be expensive and I used to be a student with a very small pocket. Leaves were not an issue. I have lived through the time when to do a flight booking you had to contact a travel agent! … Read more
