Hong Kong flights booked for Christmas weekend! Def over-paid a little, but its mad difficult to coordinate a holiday with 4 friends in 4 different firms - I'd rather over pay and go than miss out. Please give any and all recs. Also, I've never taken Vistara internationally before. Is liquor/beer on the plane included in the ticket or not? It was when i took Air India to Singapore last.

There was some sort of university alumni thing going on, my friend referred me to someone at ICICI Bank. They were giving an ICICI Sapphiro CC - LTF, so decided to get it. We don't have an ICICI in the family, can use it when its the partner card on sales. I think the 1% fuel surcharge is waived on this, but that usually has limitations, but i can't find em. Anyone has this card?

Is there gonna be another massive sale sometime? Wanna pick up the Apple Watch SE 2, i think it went for 21K or so during the sale earlier this month.

Tempted to finally get a PS5 on diwali sales just to play this.

HK return flights are 17-18K at the end of November. However one of my friends has already been, so we have no choice to switch to Malaysia now. visa details anyone? planning to fly on 24th nov - friday night, spend the the weekend in KL. Fly to Langkawi on monday, and then fly back home on Wednesday. 2.5 days in KL, 1.5 in Langkawi. Its a bit tight - any recommendations? Also, do we skip our time in Langkawi and do something else instead?

anyone has idea about Hong Kong tourist visa, how long it takes to process, and how long one needs to explore the place?

is the amazon sale over? when are we expecting next one, and similar discounts? looking to pickup a new laptop, an apple watch, some other tech as well.

Watched A Haunting in Venice - good watch. Recommend if you liked Murder on the Orient Express/Death on the Nile. Similar in style, more dark/scary in tone. Also caught Interstellar in IMAX last night! Running in Delhi theatres right now

Sterling my hero

Okay got it. I think getting the DCB is unlikely, but thats okay, we have one in the house already. In the HDFC app, i've been getting notifs now that I am eligible for the HDFC Regalia Gold - and from the link you shared, it sounds right for me. I'll join work on monday, then get the process started.

Took a short holiday to Lansdowne, Uttarakhand. Quaint and peaceful, and my first time driving into the hills. Average views, but good food and nice hikes in the region. Attaching a short video of the view from the main viewpoint. Already looking forward to the next holiday. https://imgur.com/KKxcAv6

I start my first job on Monday. I will make north of 1L>month - sharing this info for credit card eligibility. My primary account is HDFC, my whole family has accounts there. I have FDs with them, and a Regalia card that is linked to my dad's. I have gotten that closed now, wish to get an independent Regalia. However, there are types - what is Regalia Gold and Regalia first and Regalia business. which one do I get? Any other cards I can/should get? My parents primarily spend and accumulate points via Axis Vistara Signature card. I wish to get a card that lets me accumulate points for international travel, we have enough domestic flights with Vistara already. My primary expenditures - Travel, Eating out, online shopping, fuel? I do not have to pay rent, or utilities as I will continue to live with my family. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone. I've now graduated, and I am officially an engineer. I am aware this is a massive accomplishment, and a rare feat in this country. But in all seriousness, I shall miss college. I did get placed with consulting firm Bain and Company at my campus during my final year - but my joining was deferred until Q1, 2024. I've been enjoying the past 3 months as sort of a final summer vacation. Happy to say I have now secured an alternate role - as a Product Analyst, with Sprinklr! get to stay at home, but work in Gurgaon where all my friends work so (and I get paid a good bit more) Hoping to buy both parents an apple watch with salary money. If anyone has first job advice - I am all ears.

aree really? I can't picture that - even in Singapore I needed cash at the dock to buy ferry tickets or to shop in bugis. frankly, its amazing how basically you can pay literally anybody via UPI right now, we've done a class job with adopting digital payments.

Looking forward to watching the new Hercule Poirot movie, A Haunting in Venice this weekend. i've enjoyed both films in the series so far, and I've enjoyed many Agatha Christie novels. Not interested in Jawan.

I personally used the Niyo global debit card - but I think thats not a good option anymore, so you might wanna get the fi card? i think @Bird Bird Birdmentioned it? Anyway, the point is you wanna incur the most minimum fees when you make transactions abroad/withdraw cash from an atm/etc. and of course, you can carry USD and get it exchanged there for the best possible rate. SIM card you can 99% buy at the airport when you get off/in local market. I always buy local SIM, haven't used international plans.

Of course Darwin scores a brace off the bench the week I sell him. Peak fpl lmao

Yes I meant all of those things. However, I'm not a huge Sentosa person. I think its a lot more appealing if you are a kid/parent. As a 21 year old, it was out of place. The cable car from Mount Faber to Sentosa is phenomenal and my favourite part. And yes - they had an Attack on Titan (my favourite anime) themed event running - but it wasn't at the time I visited the place. I just included some extra things which aren't on tour packages normally for the next Singapore trip for anyone visiting. Might be going to Bangkok and Chiang Mai here pretty soon myself.

My Singapore recommendations. I spent 10 whole days and it still felt short lmao. I took at least 10 MRT+bus rides everyday, and walked 25,000 steps daily. My style of travel is to do absolutely everything, in the most local authentic manner possible. I'd need like 3 weeks to be fully satisfied tbh. Mentioning some popular, but also some unique things to do in Singapore below. List of things to do - 1. Sentosa Island (the beach, skywalk, the show) 2. Universal Studios 3. Night safari (my least favourite - but kids will enjoy) 4. Jurong Bird park 5. City tour, and of course Marina Bay Sands rooftop experience 6. Gardens by the Bay 7. Changi Airport Extra stuff which isn't common but I like - 1. Henderson Waves - its just a wavy bridge in Singapore. Nothing else, beautiful views and there's lovely walking tracks in the area through greenery. Worth going all the way out there. 2. River Cruise - Can take this for 25 SGD from Clarke Quay. You can take the MRT here, also walkable from Chinatown. Recommend doing at 6:30 PM, to catch sunrise while out on the boat. 3. Dinner at Clarke Quay - Extra magical to have dinner along the river, AND there are indian restaurants here. Better than the usual Little India recommendation imo. 4. Fort Canning - Lovely park, and there is a specific tunnel here to get a very special shot. There is a line for the photo though. 5. Mount Faber - Lovely park overlooking the city. Make sure to do the cable car experience from here, its absolutely smashing. 6. Helix Bridge - Another spectacular piece of architecture, close to MBS only. Visit at night for the lights. 7. Marina Barrage - Close to Gardens by the Bay, walkable from there. Recommend picnicking here with convenience store sandwiches, sodas and beers after sundown. Absolutely top notch. 8. Singapore Sling - Singapore's iconic cocktail, a must try at the nicest cocktail bar/restaurant you visit if you indulge in alcohol. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO EVERYTHING. The popular stuff is popular for good reason, its all super kid friendly. Just make sure you do the River Cruise at Clarke Quay. Magical.

just check weather conditions, but Singapore and Vietnam are both 4-5 hour long flight away and excellent places to visit if you have, say a week in hand. a lot of tourist attractions in singapore are frankly catered towards children, and thats what i'd recommend doing.

Got it, thanks guys! multiple countries actually, plan isn't fully sure yet. I can just Lufthansa from Del to multiple cities in Europe for about 22K one way. Anyway, is there any method to prioritise what country I should apply to for the visa? I know its usually country of entry/wherever you are spending most time. Will most likely be spending time with relatives in Switzerland, but I think they see a lot of tourist influx so is applying there a bad idea? @KunjanPSD

Guys, if I wish to travel to Europe around October/November will I get the schengen visa in time? Does it make a difference if I apply myself, or through some sort of processing agency or travel agent, to get it faster? and I need to book flights beforehand yes?

I took vietjet myself earlier this year. Delhi to Da Nang, then an internal flight from Da Nang to Hanoi, and then Ho Chi Minh back to Delhi. its peak budget airline, no food or water. its a little cramped, like think indigo leg space. but hey - it gets you there and we had our own snacks. its pretty much the cheapest airline for a lot of SE Asia routes.

that is fantastic man, props on the weight loss! to being healthy and happy
