The Travel Thread

One thing I'm coming to realise is that it's really difficult to do the simple things. Buying a train ticket for India Railway seems like a chore and a half.

Afternoon Connor how are you today.

Cheers! Did you use the train much?

Yes mate used the train quite regularly. Probably the easiest way to travel out there. As you mentioned in your other post the website is baffling but booking at stations is easy and English is spoken. Or you can pay a small commission and have a travel agent sort tickets for you.

A word of warning though - don't assume you can just turn up on the day and buy a ticket. The Indian people use the reservation system months in advance, so often popular trains sell out. Worth popping down to the station a few days early to sort trains if you're on a set schedule etc.

Check out that seat61 website which shows all the different classes and carriages mate. Really helpful.

Off to the airport in two hours for my 22 day trip to Thailand (Bangkok/Chiang Mai) and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh/Hoi An). Flying with Etihad, so should be sound. Packed, prepared and ready to go!

You're in Florida? No offense to @mezzrow, but wait until you see the nice parts.

Do this. Sign up for one of those airline credit cards to get enough points to trade in for the flight, but do it.

Really want to. As a recent college grad working part time atm the plane ticket is the issue! Decent idea for the air miles

Sucks to be here in Florida. Large insects and lethal alligators. Stay away. Nobody comes here anymore, there's too much traffic...
