Review: British Airways 787 Club World Hyderabad – London

This will not be an extensive review since I’ve reviewed BA Club World a couple of times before and most recently in trips to Italy and Spain. And though the product was revolutionary about 10 or so years ago, it really hasn’t evolved in the least bit despite the airline adding new …

Review: Plaza Premium Lounge – Hyderabad (Intl Departures)

Leaving Hyderabad after winter break is always full of blues. For one there was this long flight back home and then there is always work or school to look forward to afterwards. So I especially hate waking up early to catch the flight home, let alone the ridiculously early hours …

Air India Lounge Delhi T3 – The Best of Air India is on the ground?!

We arrived at the New Delhi airport within 20 minutes from the Hyatt Regency New Delhi. While the low cost airlines (IndiGo and SpiceJet) operate their domestic services out of the Terminal 1, Air India operates all of its services out of Terminal 3. This is a game changer because …

I thought I would take this opportunity to post some of my best pictures from Udaipur and the most beautiful lake I’ve been to in India. That is before I continue to rant about the Taj Lake Palace. Stay tuned for that, but in the mean time enjoy these snaps.
