@gurumilespoints Is there a way to pay for stay plus night with points?

Ibis Pune is the cheapest property I have ever seen on Accor! 1000 pts enough and get your status night. Cheapest way to do mattress runs. Have you seen anything cheaper than this?

@pranjal_3029 @imYadav31 @rohanksamal Yes, please, what is this but?

@imYadav31 @rohanksamal But...? 👀 DM please

Very important Accor Stay Plus point: You are not eligible for complimentary breakfast on a Stay Plus booking, even if you book a breakfast category. Unless you are Platinum or above. Booked using Stay Plus on Wife's Accor account. She holds Gold status. Got this mail from property after booking confirmation. Small detail, but a very important one before booking.

@imYadav31 Was exactly checking this out. I found price for 2 nights 14K, and with stay plus 9.5K. Not exactly 1+1. Breakfast tag also removed.

@ccg33k @SartanparaYash Registered. Can I book stay plus to get these bonus nights?

@UC_Assist AC install engineer refused and asked to book separately. And absolutely no mention of core cutting anywhere on app. Can someone call and help?

@Sparsh22260 Hi, thanks for reaching out to us and for showing interest in our AC service. Core cutting is included as part of the AC installation service and does not need to be selected as an add-on. For more details, please visit our app. bit.ly/3Paupdm

@urbancompany_UC @UC_Assist Does your AC installation service include core cutting? If not, then is it available as a add-on?

@mdsirajofficial You're a vibe Champion!!!

@outofofficedaku Can’t understand cash check. If we have to buy return ticket, even if denied entry, how is it on airline to check anything then?

Sharing my thoughts on the video of Sachin Awasti getting detained entry at Jeju Island and being sent back to India As a traveler please know all the rules and regulations when you're visiting such as special zones etc which have Visa Free Arrangements. In this case Jeju, which is a Special Self-Governing Province. Also know how powerful is our passport in terms of getting entry + how well traveled + which strong visas you have on your passport. You can make your Indian passport stronger by having some strong visas on it. How much support would you get from the local Embassy in case of any issues etc. Post which decide if it's worth the risk of going with VOA/Visa Free etc to such countries or going via the safe route of applying for a visa beforehand. Documentation also plays a major role. With countries offering VOA/Visa Free they also need to be carrying all of the mandatory docs & bookings. Georgia is another country which does this with Indian Passport Holders. So many articles and news of Indians denied entry but still travelers plan their trips. Basically know the risks etc and check all requirements etc. You cannot change the way the world operates or how they treat a certain country's passport holders but to avoid it or can change/make plans accordingly. As for the airlines, it's their responsibility to get you back to your home country, and yes they will keep watch till you till you land back in the home country. Airlines asking such cash requests is uncommon, but then they too would be doing their checks as instructed for the passenger to not be denied entry. Reminds me of my land border crossing in the Balkans. Officers come on board the bus. They take passports from all passengers and then go back to the office to get them stamped. We also had a Japanese Citizen with us on board. One of the most powerful passports in the world. I know a few immigration officers mention we don't even check entry exit stamps if we see a Japan passport, as literally the passport has VOA to most countries in the world. They came back to this traveler with show us the exit stamp from the last time you were in Kosovo. As he didn't need to keep track of stamps, he couldn't find one. I literally saw the officer flipping his passport and they were filled with stamps and you needed to keep marking in case wanted to identify any one entry. Why? Read below and have explained. Traveller was chill about it and said "Japanese passport, don't need visa etc" The officer replied with " This passport maybe the most powerful in the world but not here in my country." Finally, he was taken off the bus and also his bags were offloaded. All they said to the driver and the passenger next to me translated was they'll check and let him go later. We all got back our stamped passports. Context: If you're planning to visit Serbia and Kosovo make sure you enter from Serbia first and then Kosovo. Reason been Serbia doesn't consider Kosovo as a separate country and Kosovo considers it as a separate country. So when you cross the land border from Serbia to Kosovo they don't stamp an exit stamp as they consider it part of their country. Now when you enter Kosovo which thinks itself as an independent country will stamp an entry stamp and also stamp your passport on exit. So on your passport, you have never exited Serbia. I still don't have an exit stamp of Serbia but have the entry and exit from Kosovo. Now if you are doing the reverse then you may face some heat from the Serbian Visa officials as Kosovo would have already stamped your passport. So good to avoid doing it and do it with Serbia first and then Kosovo. Documented the same here for all to benefit and know this when planning to travel to the Balkans to avoid unnecessary issues: x.com/outofofficedak… I had visited Seychelles and not booked hotels as the local business man had offered his home for me to stay for free. At immigration I did explain to the officer the same but still he insisted to see proof I had ample funds etc. I remember having shown him my bank statement after logging it on his computer. He even called the local person. Had I taken the stay bookings as required nothing would be asked. While some countries may show VOA/Visa Free, do your own due diligence and check the risks before making plans. And if going with spouse/kids to such countries do 2X of the checks.

@asbansal @neeleshmisra @airindia UAE visa is on arrival only if you US/UK etc visas. They did a separate line for those who did not have that. I am not saying that Europe is any better. What Abu Dhabhi did is how you treat people.

@Sparsh22260 @neeleshmisra @airindia UAE is visa on arrival for Indians. My friends stuck in Europe are being treated worse. They are not even allowed to eat. They are all put into a room at the airport. These are visa rules and airlines can’t do anything and visa rules work on reciprocity.

“Air India — You have the worst staff in the world … rude, arrogant.” The best or worst of any airline comes out in situations like these. And even in situations beyond an airline’s control, it just boils down to empathy as company culture. Fix this urgently, @airindia — learn from how Dubai is handling this at its airports.

@GordonDimmack @_mohan_menon @airindia My friend who's stuck in Abu Dabhi got a free transfer, stay at Ritz Carlton, meals from Etihad. Luggage handed over within an hour and visa fee revoked. That's how you treat people.

@_mohan_menon @airindia You are correct. Delhi airport does have all those things. And all of them out of reach to us because we're trapped "airside" in the International transfer lounge, and can't actually get to them. I explained this in the videos and posts, but you obviously missed that.

I'm caught in the chaos at Delhi because Netanyahu and Trump wanna bomb more kids. We're looking at minimum 3 days in a departure lounge. The staff are the WORST I have ever dealt with. There's a lady here on dialysis that'll die if she doesn't get help, and @airindia don't gaf.

@Kenu73 I can’t add cards here yet. How did you make it work on iphone?

@Sparsh22260 Works flawlessly in India

And this is how convenient it is to use Apple pay! There's no form of payment better than tap and pay! And nothing beats the convenience which apple pay brings. Convenience here is way more than the UPI, im fact I still use Tap and pay on Samsung more than UPI.

@nkumar_ Agreed. But those apps don’t have that available in iphones. Apple has perhaps locked the system.

you don't need some apple pay locked with apple devices, any nfc phone can allow you to use existing credit card with tap and pay without locking you in and offering upi as main method within same app

@Kenu73 Yes, but limited acceptability. In US, pumps, parking, vending, shops, etc all have a tap device and you don’t even have to wait for someone pointing machine at you. Good for them. UPI is everywhere here. Even pan wala will have a qr in each corner. Love it.

@AmazfitIN How is the helios strap out of stock? When can we expect it to be back?

@ProfessorCardz I recently did check-in. It showed more free seats and even paid seats were discounted.

@Sparsh22260 Will check next time. However its not for me but for my mother

Q: How to select Seats for FREE on Indigo? A: Check in early. #indigo

@KaanhaRaja @DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI my thought too. Perhaps it was empty.

@DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI What about the luggage.. the person’s whose luggage was ingested.. will he get compensation

@rishabhm Very common in US. They let people deliver outside room as well.

I do this as well these days. Couple of reasons - (1) 5 star hotels charge ridiculously random amounts for food. ₹500 for a Naan/Roti??? (2) Room service is not available at all hotels at all times (3) Most hotel food is rather mediocre (4) People want to try out local food. All they get is probably one meal to do so.
