Chennai Trip – A Rollercoaster !
Our recent Chennai trip was a total rollercoaster ride with so many twists and turns that we have lost track. Overall though, a great trip.
Stinking Driver, Slowest Frisk & a Mistaken Bag :)
We got an SMS from Indigo stating that we should plan on being at the airport early, as today was Republic Day and there was extra security check. So we booked the Uber early, around 7 am. The guy reached in time and we loaded all our bags in the boot. The first thing that … Read more
Ryanair at Edinburgh Airport – a different check-in process

Super delayed flight 9E 131
People behave strangely when flights get delayed, me included. The Indigo 8.20pm flight from Delhi to Bangalore was delayed to 9 pm and then to 9.20 pm and then finally took off at 10.20 pm !! The biggest learning is not to take the last flight of any airline. The first flight of Indigo at … Read more
Two flights – two different experiences
I was returning from Delhi to Bangalore on Monday, Sept 16th and the allergic cough I had picked up in Mohali was not letting up.
