Hotel reviews by Travelguru

Filed under: Travel — Admin @ 6:41 am

I have earlier given some idea about Travelguru.com,an indian hotel booking and holiday portal.It is affiliated with 4000 hotels across india and 72,000 hotels worldwide and does good job for domestic traveling.It gives you 1-5 star hotel booking.It rates(star) various hotels of a particular destination and also has users reviewing 10,000 hotels on their site who have stayed in that hotel.Like they are affiliated with 90 hotels in Goa and 200 hotels in Kerela and provide wide range of hotel bookings for users,1 star to  5 star tent houses,boathouses,resorts,etc.

They can give you very good information about that destination,places worth seeing,best time to visit,activities worth doing,how to reach that place,etc.It gives 50% discount if you use Visa card for hotel booking at travelguru.They even book your flights and all is done according to your budget.This i prefer most foreigner and upper class would do.Middle class can go by their own in india.Don’t need such middle man.But it’s a good hotel booking portal,prices ranging from $10 to $150 in india.It has good hotel connection with major hotels in india.

Travel blogging hobby

Filed under: Travel — Admin @ 12:16 pm

While on long trips or rather you keep on traveling a lot,you must have a habit of keeping a blog of it,describing your joys and woes of traveling.If possible insert pictures and make an activity,a creative blogger with good simple travel blog design.This can even get you an online job.Suppose when you apply for blogging,they do ask for your experience and sample articles and bonus point if you have maintained a good blog.So a part time income.You travel and side by side you get income which can support your traveling expenses.

The thing is simple.You visit places and you in your own words keep writing regularly if possible or after days(no problem) about your views,reviews and experiences of places traveled.I suppose most international travelers should do this.This can in long term attract traffic and can bring small amounts.We don’t intend to go much into commercial blogging.

Five star meals on air

Filed under: Air travel — Admin @ 5:25 am

I am highlighting here the meals served by airlines during flights.Skytrax ranks the different airlines on cuisine bases.Mostly airlines served heated food.They have prepared it earlier and serve them by heating them again.But many airlines now have taken a step of preparing 4 star or 3 star meals during flight,freshly served.This can be availed in First-class trip.Like first-class in Gulf air,Qatar airways,Cathay pacific.Airlines like Singapore airlines are famous for giving world class wines.Like Singapore airlines give Krug champagnes or Dom Perignon champagne.They give you choices too for what type of food you would like to have,low-calorie or any specific delight.The indian Jet airways gives excellent indian cuisine and its varieties.Airlines are now spending more on meals,in some double than past year on food and meals for customers.

Air Deccan Review

Filed under: Air travel — Admin @ 9:15 pm

One of the leading low-cost carrier is Air Deccan.Shorter management crew per plane.It had few months back sold a stock of its shares to Kingfisher airlines.Air deccan connects many small cities than other airlines which charge more.Thats one advantage because they connect small cities and its convenient for small city people to travel to Bigger cities and Metros.Though its simple traveling.Not more leg-room space or amenities.By booking through air deccan,now you get 25% flat discount on its selected 4000 hotels as per its current offer.It has affiliated with hotel booking portal,travelguru of india.Thought its rates are economical,the taxes as usual on any airline booking makes it double in low-cost airlines.Air deccan allows now even infants to be traveled in your seat(Rs.0+225 as tax).So for INR 225,a baby can travel.

Giving you an insight of its air fares.For Mumbai to Delhi,one-way,Starts from INR 1650(US$ 41) and from Ahmedabad to Mumbai,starts from INR 500(US$ 12.5).Plus RS. 1600(US $40) as Taxes and service charges:( .Recently few weeks back Air deccan had made some changes which i have in brief elaborated in this article.It’s called ‘Simplify Deccan’.
