Re: While booking an international air-travel trip..
I don’t book with airlines I know have a bad reputation for delays or cancellations, no matter how cheap, I’d rather pay a little more and know I’ll get there on time without being messed around.. Don’t need luxury but if it’s a long-haul flight and I can get a good discount I’ll go for business class and fly direct whenever I can.. Some airlines like British Airways do really good discounted rates if you book late but their economy service is pretty basic (much more than airlines like Turkish or Emirates imo).. I always book online as well.. I like the convenience of being able to check lots of different prices at once, choosing my seat, checking in at home etc.
Awesome :k:
Do you fly often in a year or just once or twice? Im asking cuz you do sound experienced.
i look for the lowest fare with reputed airlines…try to fly the same airline that i’ve Frequent Flyer Program Membership with. i’ve discovered lately that Air India’s FFP is one of the best in the aviation industry. each trip to India fetches me one free round-trip ticket anywhere within India. i try to take the non-stop flights but connections don’t turn me off either.
i like flying Airbus Industrie A-330 because the seating configuration is 2+4+2…i take window seat and there is ONLY i person on my side [instead of usual 2]…it makes it easier to get in and out of my seat. i usally take a seat which is by the exit door and it gives me extra legroom and i do NOT disturb the passenger sitting next to me. most airlines charge extra for these premium seats but i choose an airline which doesn’t charge extra for these seats, like Air India, Etihad etc
So you are most like a combo of luxury and fare check. That makes sense.ekumunng
Thats my bhruv as I also check the connections and make sure its not that long wait. But if i see a very good deal i may compromise to a couple of extra hours waiting
