Yeah, if you don’t need to reach urgently, you can go for it. The thing is flights are always 5% Overbooked, since they know 5-10% of the folks will not show up/ will show up late. So they ask people to voluntarily give up their seats to avoid penalty. If more than 100% folks show up, then anyone who’s denied a seat can get a compensation of 2X the amount of flight or 20000 plus a bunch of other hastles like insurance cliams . Hence they ask 4-5 seats voluntarily giveup.

Its worth it, howver the amount is too less. Vistara used to give 6/7 k

Spend around 10k on flights, 10k on dining out+swiggy, utility bills around 5k, shopping around 10k. Good credit card recos. I would love to get flight redemption points.

Quantitative Research

As the question states, trying to collect some great thinking points.

I will start with one -

I want to change the hotel buying experience where the map show me areas on the line of HoodMaps (Hipster, Party Place, History, Crazy area, locals, etc) by Pieter Levels so that I instantly know which areas to focus on to plan my stay.

If you could change one thing about the way you buy travel, what would it be & why?

Always wondered how it happens
Have been using credit cards for some time, never found as much in rewards. What can a novice change in his cards?

Folks who say they get free flight tickets from credit cards, how do you do it?

There are certain cards which help you get free tickets(not entirely free though) 
  
 Most famous ones are Vistara cobranded cards. 
 Eg Sbi Vistara Prime Card 
  
 You get the card at annual fees of Rs3500 
 With this you get 1 Vistara Premium Economy Ticket which would easily cost 8-10K INR if you were to book by paying 
  
 Additionally you get more Premium Economy tickets each time you hit a spend milestone. 
  
 1.5lakh spends in a year - 1 more ticket 
 3lakh - another ticket 
 4.5 Lakh- another ticket 
 8 Lakh - another ticket 
  
 In addition you get 1 upgrade voucher using which you can upgrade your ticket from category X to category Y. This is via the Vistara Silver Tier Membership which is complimentary with the card. It also gives 5kg addition baggage allowance 
  
 There are more such cards in market like idfc vistara, axis vistara (business class variant as well)

Why they keep price so high even when 90% seats are vacant...

I simply couldn't understand.

They are against unit economics or what...

Case 1, Price of Ticket 10k if 90% seats available

Case 2, Price is 11k if 10% seats available

I am sure many who would have heard or used feature which Indigo has released on trial basis where women can check the gender of the person who has booked the seat and accordingly take a call whether they want to the book the adjacent seat or not. What do you all think about this? Should they give this feature to men as well ?

Indigo feature for women to check gender in planes

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Been thinking about going for an international trip lately. Asked a bunch of friends, but it looks like it's just gonna be me. Anyone here who has travelled solo? Thoughts on those "Make My Trip" packages? Or any other cool recommendations?

I have HDFC regalia and I am planning to upgrade, looking out for suggestions.

Which credit card will be worth it when you are earning 40+ lpa?

Got my luggage broken by Air India, complained and they registered it. Gave me a slip confirming same.

Said my compensation will be sent over mail in form of AI voucher 

No communication, no way to contact them (all numbers they gave are busy)

Paid extra for A350 and that's how it is

Anyone experienced it? How to get them to respond?

Was thinking about this yesterday. So much spent on marketing with all the IPL Ads. Curious if anybody here uses it? If yes, why?
