This afternoon, I was booking my flight to India.\u00a0 There are not many airlines flying direct to Bangalore.\u00a0 I am not adventure enough to take an internal flight inside India, so my options are limited.<\/p>\n
The most straight forward path is taking Air Canada\/Lufthansa, making a transfer in Frankfurt.\u00a0 The connection time is perfect, not much time is wasted in the airport.\u00a0 The itinerary looks great except it is flying via Europe.\u00a0 India is exactly 12 time zones away from Vancouver, so flying west should be the same as flying east.<\/p>\n
Only Singapore airline have direct flight to Bangalore.\u00a0 Somehow, the travel booking websites somehow couldn’t route the flight via Singapore.\u00a0 They always route it through Europe.\u00a0 I have to print out Singapore airline’s flight schedule and try to work out the connect flights myself.\u00a0 Singapore airline only flies 3 days a week form Vancouver to Singapore, so I can’t leave on Friday as planned.\u00a0 The flight arriving at 11p.m and the daily flight from Singapore to Bangalore is at 10p.m.\u00a0 The timing of the connect flight is not looking good.\u00a0 I can also fly to San Francisco first, then to HK, then to Singapore and catch the direct flight to Bangalore.\u00a0 It will be 3 stops compare to 1 stop taking Lufthansa, not very desirable either.<\/p>\n
At the end, I book with Lufthansa to save the trouble.\u00a0 For the 2nd trip, maybe I will stop by HK and try the SFO route of Singapore airline.\u00a0 Too bad that HK has no direct flight to Bangalore, yet.\u00a0 Dragonair will have daily flight to Bangalore starting May 1.\u00a0 Taking Cathy Pacific and Dragonair, stop over in HK would be the best flight itinerary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
