Hi all, hope all of you are safe from Covid.
This is a long overdue trip report that was undertaken back in start December 2019, when travel was still normal and the world was business as usual.
I had been making a lot of trips to and fro Trichy in the months of November and December to be with my sick grandmother. This trip was immediately after my last Semester 1 Exam at NUS.
Tickets were booked quite last minute, and my regular airline of choice Indigo with its perfect flight timings were offering seats at a high rate, due to the last minute request. This was also in line with the rates offered by Air India Express, another airline which offers a direct flight to Trichy.
We were in a Dilemma on whether to book the flights when i read about malindo Air online. A quick search on their site showed up business class tickets for 2 and just $200 over the economy class fares on the budget airlines of 6E and IX. It was a no brainer and we immediately booked our tickets albeit with a transit stop at KLIA .
Just when we thought we hit the jackpot, the flight to KUL was delayed by 35 minutes due to late arrival of aircraft and flight to TRZ was delayed by over an hour as well. Due to the delay on the second leg, we landed at TRZ together with 3 other international arrivals and the Immigration queues were crazily long for such a small airport to handle and there were no proper queues as well.
Coupled with the extra security checks at Indian airports for arrivals and 2 flights sharing the same baggage belt to collect luggage totally exhausted us by the end of our journey.
The trip started on the evening of 4 December at Terminal 3.....
