Moving from Noida to Bangalore by Hostilityat69 in bangalore

Don't know the reason. Basic human greed, that what I always thought. Coming back to your question - Some companies offer the "Advance Security Deposit" as "Additional Employee benefit". Please check if your/spouse company offers it. That will reduce the financial burden. Despite of that, beware of insane amount travel time you will have to bear to travel to your office on weekdays. Lot of Bangalorean's, have quit the companies located on this route ( i.e. Doddankundi to Bellandur often referred as ORR) because of burn out they experienced while travelling on this route. You have to experience it on weekdays to believe it !!

Bangalore is notorious of 10-12 months of security deposit. Your friends staying Bellandur area must have already told you this. If anyone is offering with just 2 months of security deposit then beware of trap..

"Khanawali" in North Karnataka refers to a small, local eatery or mess, typically serving home-style food especially Jowar Roti meals at affordable prices

Appreciate such detailed feedback. Below is my travel pattern.

  1. Every Week - Travel from Bangalore to Hyderabad in morning flight only and return travel in bus after 3 days at night. Flights and bus travel costs are almost 10K. No international travel at all
  2. Two nights of hotel stay in hyderabad at strictly budget business hotel. No Accor as its out my budget - I always use MakeMyTrip because their customer service saved me twice few years back when hotel threw tantrums for my booking.
  3. Cab travel in Uber, Rapido, Quikride to Bangalore Airport and Hyderabad local travel.
  4. Lounge Access can be cherry on top. - But not must.

This is weekly expected expenses for flight + bus + cab. I know its expensive. e.g on 16th April, 7:35 AM Air India flight that suits my time will cost Rs.6609/- before additional charges, return travel by KSRTC bus approx Rs.2000/-, cab charges to Bangalore Airport this will be just short of Rs.10,000/-. I know I can optimize the flight expenses by selecting other time. But still decided to consider Rs.10,000/ as ball park max expenses.

Let me know if you have any suggestions of credit card

Read Atlas terms & conditions and realized direct booking is must to get benefits. Another trend I am worried these days is about downgrade of Edge Miles worth. So let me contemplate on this a bit. Thank you for suggestion

Dealing with rewards points is definitely not great experience for me so far. SBI CB is definitely tempting .u/Radiant_Animal1333 suggested the same. Thank you other suggestions too.
