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…

In Search of Cheap Flight Tickets
Of late there have been many things on my mind. The top most on the list was a lot of trips getting cancelled. Thankfully some of them have now been rescheduled. The second thought revolves around the issue of solo traveling in India post December 16, 2012. I was at Palampur in first week of…
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…
Singapore- My First Trip Abroad
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!…
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…

Delhi to Bagdogra on an Air India Flight
The last time I took a flight with Air India (its domestic operation was earlier known as Indian Airlines) it was from Delhi to Bagdogra. I was headed to Baiguney (Sikkim) to attend an event organized by Club Mahindra. Those of you who have been on sponsored trips, you might agree with me that an invitation feels complete…
Mumbai: The Food & Travel Paradise
All my trips to Mumbai have been either for events or for work. I have yet to explore the city as a tourist! Being on official visit has an advantage though, you don’t have to worry about the hotels in Mumbai! One of my trips to Mumbai was for a day long event. I arrived…
Lowest Airfares Offered by the Various Airlines in India
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!…
