12 Anas

Hey to start off my posts on 12 anas, I got a good deal out for Pune to Hyderabad travellers. According to a news article that a friend pointed out to me, about a new flight launched by Air India for travellers from Pune to Hyderabad and thereafter Bangalore.

The flight, to fly every day except on Saturdays, is to take off from Bangalore at 8.10 am and will reach Hyderabad at 9.15 am and Pune at 11.15 am. On its return trip, it will take off from Pune at 3.20 pm and land in Hyderabad at 4.25 pm and at Bangalore at 5.45 pm.

So, for morning passengers from Hyderabad, you can reach Pune by 11.15 am. Similarly, start off early on a weekend by lunch time and reach Hyderabad by 4.30pm around. Dosen’t seem a bad idea at all.

So, if you ask, what is the big deal about this and weren’t there been services between Hyderabad and Pune earlier, the answer is that there were, but very costly, always arouns Rs5000+. These were the typical ATR engine (small) flights run by Kingfisher red, Jet Konnect and JetLite sometimes costing as much as Rs8000+ bucks. Typically on these ATR flights it seems the fuel surcharge is twice that of the normal planes and is Rs3000 per seat or so!!!

Anyways the new flights offer seats on 14-day advance booking for as low as Rs1910 only And on 7-day advance booking of Rs2675. SO, if you had a thought of flying between Pune and Hyderabad rather than taking a Volvo bus ride, this could be a pretty good alrenative.

Waiting for my chance to go to Hyderabad by this flights.. lets see! Have a great day guys..
