Fly Cheap to anywhere around the world !! That's the airline mantra you hear it all over recent days. You might think that you would find a good cheap price whenever you want to go, but that's not case. There is always a hook to all the cheap and free stuff. Nothing comes cheap !?!
Let me take you back to the year 1998, when I first boarded my first flight ever to fly out of India. I took the Lufthansa flight from Chennai to Boston via Frankfurt. I still can remember the way I felt uneasy and don't know exactly how to handle the travel. I was sitting way back in a big flight with 250 passengers. I never couldn't imagine that that flight can carry these may people. Nobody can tell from looking it outside.
I was travelling to Boston as a Business trip. All expenses paid by the company. I didn't even bothered to find out how much was the flight ticket. I was just happy and lucky to go to US beating others in the list. I travelled again in 1999 for the long term assignment, in the same airline. This time too, I didn't know the price of the air ticket. But I guessed it might be around $1500 for a round trip. I really got to know the price, when I had to come back for a visit in 2001. I paid around $2000 for a round trip during the Christmas time. I book it almost 3 months ahead and still got this heavy rate. So I ended up doing a research on my next trip on how to get cheaper tickets and I would like to share it.
Will continue...
