1. Why do airfares keep changing so frequently?
Every
airline sets aside a few (read very few) seats for grabbing eyeballs
during the advertising campaigns. Like all businesses airlines have to
make profits. Once the low fare seats are booked the airline will
start the next level fares which will be added to their profits. All
these fares may be in economy class, however each passenger may end up
paying a different fare depending on the route and travel date. Holiday
destination fares are higher on weekends and business destinations are
costlier on weekdays. If you plan your trip well in advance and book on
a working day, you may enjoy better fare. Low-cost airline websites
enjoy bookings surge during weekends. Try booking on a week day ahead of
the weekend, you will see the difference.
2. Why should I pay for my
food on low-cost airlines?
Normally
low-cost airlines operate as an economical mode of transportation for
budget travelers. As their main aim is to take you to the destination and
the fare which they offer is very attractive, they normally do not offer
food or other in-flight services which you may find in other airlines.
Many low-cost airlines offer in-flight services for a charge on board
which you have to pay extra. This way you pay for services only when you
use them.
3. Can I carry Indian currency
when I travel to Nepal?
Yes, you
can. However, currency notes in Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 are not accepted in
Nepal. Carrying smaller denominations is advisable.
4. Do I need travel Insurance?
I recommend everyone traveling International to buy Travel Insurance along with the trip. This will come handy when you fall sick, lose your baggage and other emergencies which may arise during your travel. Travel Insurance policies come with various covers viz., Basic, Medium and Comprehensive. Please discuss with your travel agent and decide what is best suitable for you. Choose your Insurance Policy carefully and carry the Insurance papers and international toll-free number
provided by the Insurance company along with your travel documents.
