As a proud newbie in travel , i booked my tickets to cochin on deccan. 23rd march 5:40 evening (starting from bangalore) cool . At a price of 1600 INR change..great deal..<br /><br />23rd march at 2:00 thursday ..mobile bee buzzed once..seems like a message..YES IT IS!!!..ask from whom...air deccan help desk..."the flight number so and so will be resheduled to 7:20 same eve)....oh boy..i called up cochin side and told "send vehicle only by 7:30"...<br /><br />23rd march at 3:30 thursday...mobile buzzed...air deccan again..prayed to all..no more delays...bad luck ...it is...again " the flight number so and so is rescheduled to 9:30)...now i called cochin and said "dont send a car until and unless i say"....<br /><br />luckily...my prayers are answered...no more messages...no more calls...i reached for my check-in sharp one hour before....polite deccan checked me in...now the show is one air...the TV is displaying it as 9:45 pm departure...amazing...this time no intimations<br /><br />23rd march at 10:00 ...you think i am in flight right...u got it wrong...i am with a group of passengers waiting to bring down the air deccan executive..(now i undersatnd why they dont allow us to carry any sharp objects inside)....<br /><br />23rd march 10:20 ...half asleep i found myself boarding in....flight flying with an excellent russian pilot who cant speak a word of english...if we are drowning...he cant even communicate...<br />lucky i reached home in one piece....at night 12:00<br /><br />still surviving to travel more...........<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25532051-114432746184287047?l=globetraveller.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>krizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17427551305969969506noreply@blogger.com3
