I have taken three flights overall with Emirates. The first one was a long time back when I was traveling to Athens to attend an academic conference. The second and the third flights were to Manchester related to my work. So while the first flight was Delhi–Dubai–Athens, the other flights were Delhi-Dubai-Manchester and back. All…

The Silk Air Business Class Experience was Amazing
Update: The Silk Air Routes are now operated by Singapore Airlines and Scoot. After watching movies all night on the Singapore Airlines flight, sleep was the natural outcome. I boarded the Silk Air Business Class flight from Changi, Singapore to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia. To begin with I didn’t had a window seat. But…
The Singapore Airlines Business Class Experience Was Amazing
This year I have taken many flights. Last year I took even more flights. I know the drill, more so at T3 or 1D in Delhi, my home base. I can do it on auto-pilot, I don’t need to think much. So, I stood in line of the Singapore Airline counter this Monday and waited…
How to Kill Time at an Airport
I quite enjoy being at airports. Given the traffic situation in many places like Bengluru, NCR etc. I like to arrive early rather than risk missing my flight. In other countries that I visit, because of unfamiliarity with the immigration norms I try to reach before time. But the best was when we were in…

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…
Things to Know if You are Flying Via Srinagar Airport
Last Sunday (10/03/2013) I flew out of Srinagar Airport with the first flight out of the town. It is currently operated by GoAir and leaves Srinagar at 8.35 am. We had a very early start from Gulmarg and we reached the Srinagar (SXR) airport before it opened. Yes the Srinagar Airport shuts down and it…
The Landing at Srinagar
Greetings from Gulmarg. I arrived here yesterday and there is a lot of snow in the area. I am staying at The Khyber (at their invitation) and it is a lovely place. However the picture I am going to share today is from our landing at Srinagar Airport. It was such a beautiful approach to the…
