blitzkreiig Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I need to get mom a Sim for 1-2 days for travelling to Australia. Which network (Airtel or Jio )would be more economical so that she can make calls within that country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the service can be really dodgy while being expensive. I would suggest to get a local sim on arrival from the airport. Much better prices even for international calls and data. It's instantly activated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I’m not sure if t this is the right thread, but a friend of mine is visiting Dubai next week and wants to buy some electronics. Specifically an iPhone along with ipods and an Apple Watch if budget permits. Does anyone know of where to score some good deals or any specific shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauji Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Need some info from folks in Mumbai..or anyone else who has an idea. I will be reaching Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Railway station around 6:30pm. 1. Best/Fastest way to reach Lonavla from there? I guess that will be Cab/Taxi. If thats the case how long does it take? Google says ~1.5 hrs but not sure whats the traffic situation be like around that time. 2. Can anyone give some idea on cab fare? Again on googling I am getting widely different fares in different sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again on googling I am getting widely different fares in different sites. Fastest way is def a cab or a pvt car. You can reach in 1.5 hrs if it's your own car and depending on the time you travel. 6.30 pm means heavy traffic so add 60-90 mins depending on your luck. Fare can be anything between 2k+. And outstation ola/Uber cabs take time to arrive so if u make up your mind to travel by car do make the booking in advance while you're still travelling. If you do want a cheaper option take an auto from LTT to Yogi restuarant chembur ( or tell them neeta travels chembur). There are a bunch of travel operators nearby and literally every bus going out of Mumbai will travel via lonavala so you can get a ticket for cheap. If you're lucky you might even get sharing cabs from here. You can even skip the travel Operators & book it directly with the conductor/helper when a bus arrives. Just tell him to drop you near lonavala and most will do it for a lower amt. But make sure you ask the bus guys about your dropoff point, if they drop you on the highway then it's better to avoid as you'll be in the middle of nowhere & it'll be late when you reach + the auto drivers outside Mumbai are fking dacoits. Bottomline .. If you're travelling with family just take the cab, if solo you can take the bus but be careful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Aight so borders are finally opening up for tourists without quarantine requirements, and I have been looking at the calendar. I'm thinking August 9th-August 15th (using the holidays for Muharram and Independence Day) - gives me about 6 nights/7 days. Can be shorter than that also. Where can I go, with parents, major concern being the weather. We prefer cold, not hot. Delhi heat is horrible that time of the year - and a short international trip would be a much welcome respite.

They dont usually bother with all this unless you are smuggling gold and that too in an international flight. A mardwadi friend shifted from Pune to Gurgaon and carried all her jewellery with her. You can imaging then qty of gold a typical marwari has just triple it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achilles Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 So the situation with Schengen Visa appointments is... inconvenient. No appointments available and the online systems are a bit messy. Anyone know anyone who knows anyone who can help? Need to travel at the end of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all honesty tough to find anyone who can help, maybe talk to some agent. Go to some place where you don't need visa, maldives maybe, if i understand correctly wwhy this trip is being planned!

LordSpymaster Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Any clue what's a good brand for luggage bags? I plan to get a 3 piece set, with wheels and shiz. Looking at American Tourister and Samsonite, though AT is cheaper than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
