Mad nervous, flight for Baku in 6 hours. Need to leave for the airport in 3, contemplating if I can even go. Azerbaijan first, Georgia afterwards. Idk if things will calm down by our return, don't wanna be stuck somewhere.

hey guys, bit of a strange question. Need to buy a cooler. Can't do an AC, I have a place where I plan to spend 1-2 nights a month this summer. So not a lot of use, don't wanna go to the efforts for an AC. Does anyone happen to still own one of these? Any recommendations? its for a small bedroom, probably wanna spend 6-7k.

We spent 1L total each in HK. We went for 5 days, and we spent a full day in Macau. and we went for Christmas and New Years. We went to Disneyland Day 1, HK/Kowloon exploration on Day 2, Day 3 we hiked Dragon's Back (highly recommend), Day 4 we went to Macau, Day 5 we did some shopping and Victoria Peak. We were 4 people, we booked a massive family room/suite in Lantau Island. Hotel was good, can find the name if you need. We took mostly public transport with buses/metro + we took cabs. Get the HK taxi app, its cheaper than Uber. @playstationdude

I have the Fi debit card, so no forex markup as long as I keep 50k in the a/c. The exchange rate is also close to actual. So I could use that, or I could use the Bonvoy card and pay the forex charges. Just trying to understand whats better. at 3.5% plus GST, it would be an additional 1500 rupees on a 35K Marriot booking. at 8 points per 150 rupees, i'd get 1800 points. I guess i'll take the 300 point advantage? Am considering getting the Axis Atlas, but that I was planning for the next year as we close out the Axis Vistara card.

Anyone have the Marriot Bonvoy HDFC card? have applied, the free night benefit is good enough for me to get it. but also - looking to book 4 nights at a Marriot, in Baku Azerbaijan. USD/local currency transaction. Should I book it with my forex card, making no points or use this card? Couldnt find relevant forex info anywhere. @KunjanPSD any idea?

There is a HDFC to Maharaja Club Transfer bonus, I'm still weighing if worth it and how much to transfer over? I have a Regalia Gold though, wish it was one of the cards with a better ratio. Anyone else doing it?

I have it LTF under an alumni offer. So you should be good.

Cool I'll get the Marriot card, the one night by itself is good. but that has a 14K cap I think. So might have to transfer some additional HDFC points into Marriot in the event that the property I wanna book at exceeds the 14K points cost. More if I intend on staying more than one night. I have an HDFC Regalia, Sprinklr is partner with HDFC so the 2500/3000 annual charge gets waived for all employees. Don't have any set travel plans, just wanna take advantage time periods when there is a transfer bonus. Mostly the travel plan for this year is a europe trip, but still in the process of planning it out.

Marriot's running a scheme for 45% extra points if you buy points, tempted to buy 10K points - would get 40% extra, making it 14,000 points. Lots of decent Marriot stays at that range, including the Aravali property close to Delhi. Have stayed twice now - its top notch. Has anyone else done it? Also considering getting the HDFC Marriot Bonvoy CC, just tempted to have some nice stays and earn points for that. I do have a bunch of HDFC points as well, typically I'd transfer to Air India Maharaja Club, for domestic flights, but I've heard Accor is the best partner for transfers? Any expert advice?

Folks, any advice on sim card/esim for the US? Travelling for 8 days. I might just get airtel international roaming but I always prefer having access to a local phone number....

Hey guys. Thought I'd just ask - I have 1 Vistara Premium Economy voucher expiring October 14th. Don't have any travel at the moment, does someone else have a requirement for domestic travel? If so, you may DM me or whatsapp me - and we can figure it out.
