We who love to travel, would never cancel a trip. But sometimes life just intervenes. I remember I had to cancel my trip to Bhutan because of a minor surgery of my husband. How I wish Uncancel by Make My Trip was around at that point of time! I got to know about it recently…

A Tale of Two Flights- Indigo and Air India

Movies and Tourism
Talk Hindi moves and you will talk Switzerland. I grew up on a healthy diet of Swiss scenes from movies like Chandni and Darr. But when I was in college sports was my thing and not so much travel. It is only when sports went away I got converted to travel. Switzerland Tourism will attract…

Bucket List? What Bucket List?
Do you have a bucket list for travel? Do you try to travel out of it? What all features on it? I have toyed with the idea of a bucket list but I never got around making it. I can see the uses of such a list, it would keep me busy for years altogether….

A Small Update on My Sri Lanka Plans
I never booked a flight on Air India till the recent past. I still got to fly Air India and Air India Express on invitations but never with my own money. But this has changed now. When I was searching for Sri Lanka tickets the cheapest I got was on Air India so I had…

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…

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…
