Flying with a good Airline is Fun!

This summer I had an opportunity to travel with Air France. It was an amazing experience, and one of a kind.

To start with the aircraft was well maintained, clean and tidy. There was this typical aroma sprayed in the aircraft because of which there was no foul smell and felt really fresh.

Both the flight attendants and the flight purser were at their best, customer service was well appreciated by the co-passengers. They were not irritated with the number of times they were called by these few Indians, on the contrary they were all ready to help the passengers in every way they could, unlike the staff of some other airlines who do just the opposite.

Food served for dinner did not smell and actually tasted good. They had a choice of both Veg and Non Veg. Then they played these 4 movies on 4 different screens in the Economy Class. The movies kept all the passengers entertained during their journey.
Seats were really comfortable and not smelly and messy. Not the one that you find in some of our national carrier.

Over all it was a good experience to travel Air France. I would recommend trying out Air France whenever they are planning to go on vacation to Europe.
Your comments on other airlines are eagerly awaited.

Vacation in Singapore

I was too stressed out, stressed out of my work, stressed out in my personal life, did not know what to do to rejuvenate myself. At that very moment I happened to speak to one of my very closest friend who is a vacation planner, he recommended me and suggested that I should go out on a vacation! On first thoughts, I was like what a foolish idea, first only I am stressed out and then on top of that my friend was asking me to spend money and go out on a vacation? Was he lost it or what? Instead of going out of my town, I thought I will stay here take holidays from office and relax at home! But then on second thoughts I realized that my friend after all was not wrong! Why not try it out?

The very next week I packed my bags and there I was on my journey to rejuvenate myself. I had decided to go to Singapore. First thing first – I went to the Tours and Travels office, got all the details needed, after all I was traveling alone with no one to guide me there. Got my tickets done through travel website ‘My Trip.com’, they indeed gave me the best deals possible! While going from here I traveled by my favorite airlines ‘Singapore Airlines, they were as usual at their best services.I reached the Singapore Changi Airport, and wow the airport itself was so serene and so beautiful! I stepped out of the airport and reached my hotel. I had booked a 4 star hotel for myself. I had breakfast and dinner free with the package I had taken. Hotel was amazing.

1st day I visited in Singapore is the famous Santosa Island. I remember some bollywood songs were shot there. One famous song from BIWI NO 1 movie was also shot there. I saw many things in the island, like a LIVE cobra! I actually touched it. Bird Sanctuary, famous Water dance fountain. The Dolphin Show – that was just fantabulous. Also the 3D movie theatre, I really loved it. By the end of 2 days I was all exhausted and tired, but at the same time was feeling very relaxed and distressed.

3rd and 4th day was spent in shopping. The famous MUSTAFA Stores gave me best deals in everything that I Bought. You actually get anything and everything out here! Now I know from where did the Mall System developed in India! I got an IPOD for myself, a Digicam, and also Nokia N90. I also went ahead and shopped for some diamond rings. They are the best rings that I have got!

5th day I spent in window Shopping because by then I had very little money left, and could not afford to shop even a small keychain for myself. Oohh How I wish I could buy that!


I was surprised to see many Udipi restaurants out there. And by the way did you’ll know that there is a small town in Singapore that is actually called as Little India? That’s where the Mustafa Stores is located!6th day was spent in the Hotel itself, I went swimming, went for these massages that the Hotel provided. I really pampered myself and spent like thrift! On way back home I had booked the ‘Singapore Airlines’. Service was good, and up to my mark.That was my trip to Singapore that I will always cherish all my life. And I thank my friend who had advice me otherwise I would have not gone anywhere and wasted my holidays just like that! I felt like a Queen – really enjoyed out there, believe me Girls can enjoy alone too! I know all girls will agree with but boys won’t. Tell me your experiences on Singapore if anyone has gone. Also I would love to know other places that you must have visited and loved it, as I am planning my next vacation anytime this year. Your comments and suggestions as always are welcome! If you are to stressed out and want a change in life then the best thing to do is pack your bags and get outta the place you are staying in! And that’s exactly what I did and had lot of fun.

Low cost airline dilemma

There are so many domestic airlines ( Go Air, Sahara Airlines, Kingfisher, Indian Airlines, Air India, SpiceJet, Indigo Airlines etc) in this country, people have so many choices still why do these Air deccan people think they can grab most of Indian passengers towards their airlines?

I had booked my ticket with them, when I went at their counter, there was so much of mess and confusion between their staff members, they were so much in a hurry as if they wanted to go somewhere, I was surprised to know that they don't even give seat numbers, what is the use of the boarding pass without a seat number? Because of this all passengers run at the security check to have the best seat available. It is so disgusting. Their flight had this foul smell when I entered, and I could not believe I have to sit in there for almost 2 hours. The seats were so small, did not even have proper leg space.

Frankly speaking they have nothing to offer, no customer service, no proper in-flight services, the flight is always late, or never have any space left for them to park their airplane at the airport because of which they have this dedicated air buses, these air buses of air deccan are worse then the local buses of Mumbai.
Agreed they are cheap, but still money is money, why will I spend my money on such a airline who has nothing to offer to their passengers. Day by day the number of passengers traveling by Air Deccan is decreasing and still the staff of Air Deccan is not improving.

I honestly think this airline should be banned. They have nothing to offer to their customers. Try out GO Air or Kingisher Airlines instead.
