PART 2
I explained my son the plan. I told him that we will have to catch an early morning flight to Delhi and at 10:55 AM we will have to catch the Rajdhani. I informed that the train journey will take 45 hours to reach Trivandrum. I also told him that we will be travelling by 1st AC. My son got excited.
I went online and checked for early morning flights to Delhi. Found Spice jet at 5:40 AM 06/23/2019. The arrival time in Delhi was 8:00 AM giving us 2 hours

and 55 minutes to reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Station. Then checked for Train tickets. 1st AC available in Trivandrum Rajdhani. I had to calculate the budget for this train and I was ready for it.
The flight tickets costed us Rs. 11000/ and Train tickets were Rs. 7770/ per person. I said to my son “We are going”.
I booked the flight tickets through make my trip and booked Trivandrum Rajdhani on IRCTC. Everything was confirmed. To reach airport on time we will have to start by 3 AM from Secunderabad. I booked the Cab on Make My Trip and got that confirmed too. I said WOW. Everything is working fine.
Me and my son started getting ready. We had one small hurdle that was my younger son. I told him my plan he said to go ahead but he told me that I must take him in my next trip. I promised the same.
Me and my elder son started packing our back packs. We just had very less to carry as we will be mostly travelling. At this moment My son said, I need a headphone. At 8:30Pm we went to a happi store for headset and found one. I told my son we will try not to use the headphones as we will be enjoying the journey.
I fixed an alarm at 2: AM. Me and my son were up by 1 AM itself. At 2:30 AM my cab had reached my home to pick us up. We told him to wait for a while and he agreed. We got ready and were down by 2:50AM. The cab driver was very nice. He drove at a good speed and dropped us at the airport by 3:30 AM.
While walking towards check in we found a kiosk to check in even before entering the airport. We took our boarding passed and headed straight to the security check. Check in done and we went to our gate waiting for boarding. We were hungry and thought of going to KFC however we bought sandwiches which were very costly. The SpiceJet Flight departure time was 5:40 AM and arrival in Delhi was 8 Am. They started the boarding at 5 AM. It was a Jet airways flight re stickered as Spice jet. We boarded the flight and our seats were 19A and 19B. The flight took off at 5:45 AM, five minutes late. They offered us a glass of water. Other flights don’t even do that.
We were flying at an altitude of 35000 feet. We ordered a cup of Tea which was like Rs.100/. The pilot made an announcement at 7:45 that we are on time and landing in Delhi by 8AM. The flight was something different this time. The cabin pressure was high because of which I had severe ear pain. I have travelled in many Airplanes internationally too however this never happened. I had this pain for the first time. I anyhow managed and were off the airline by 8 AM.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
