Mumbai Event Recap – Airfare Hacking and Tips

On October 4th, the Travel Massive community in Mumbai got together for a fun and educational discussion about the art of understanding airline travel.  

The event recap was written by Roxanne Bamboat, the Mumbai chapter leader. She is a freelance Food and Travel Writer and has her own blog – The Tiny Tester. Roxanne is currently focused on growing the Mumbai chapter.

For a second time, the meet-up was hosted by the Independence Brewing Co which also celebrated their 4 year anniversary with us.

Understanding Airline Travel 

The event’s theme was “Decoding the World of Airline Travel” that led the discussion around tips and tricks to making air travel more affordable for people. This was a very interesting event which talked about how to to understand the many different ways of procuring a reasonable ticket apart from just booking months in advance.

Ajay Awtaney, a master at airline travel and founder of the website Live From A Lounge, was the best person for this event and happy to share his wisdom.

In his session, Ajay spilled all his secrets to help people understand the aviation industry a tad bit better so everyone can learn how to find an affordable airfare.

We learned what miles our credit card points can get us, what a loyalty program means for frequent flyers, what’s the best time to book, which airlines are actually cheaper than we think, how to get an upgrade and many more secrets.
