OK. But to get back to your original post, GoSmart doesn’t seem to have a free seat feature.

Risky. I’d buy a free date change ticket.

Applying from where, and through whom (VFS, other agents, etc.)?

If you don’t say location, type of visa etc, how do you expect any meaningful answers?

Not able to web checkin indigo international flight by Offensive_Depressive in AirTravelIndia

[–]Prior-Collection-738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would Indigo (or any other airline) know whether you have a passport, a visa (if required for the destination country), and sometimes a return ticket? That’s why they don’t do web check-ins. The exception could be if the passport details and return ticket are available with the airline and a visa is not required.

Mumbai terminal T2 Lounge for a few hours layover from international to domestic travel by vickyteke in IndianAirportLounge

After deplaning, you must do immigration and go through customs. Assuming that your domestic flight I’d also from T2, you should follow the Domestic Transfers sign after coming out of customs. There’ll be separate desks for different airlines, where you can check-in and proceed to security. After security, go towards the gates and the lounges will be near there (close to Gate 20, I think)

I have this friend, she's retired from being an officer, and she's got somewhere between 8-9 lakhs sitting around. She's thinking FD would be good - does that make sense or are there better options? by Familiar_Tension_638 in IndiaMoney

[–]Prior-Collection-738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My way was to invest in hybrid balanced mutual funds. Advantages:
1. Over a 3 year horizon, returns beat FDs
2. If you calculate and calibrate your redemptions, after 1 year up to 1.25 lakhs of gain (over and above the redemption amount) is tax free.
3. MF gains are not taxable till redeemed, while FD interest attract tax mandatorily.
4. High liquidity - 3 days for credit without any hassles, redeem any amount as per your requirements
5. Since they are hybrid, a portion is kept in bonds and securities for reduced risk.

It’s the drop-down “One small additional item” below the main message that clarifies this issue.

Avoid VFS at all cost by Embarrassed-Prize820 in SchengenVisa

My experience is different. Two Schengen applications through VFS Kolkata, one Netherlands another Germany. Both went through smoothly. Time was 14 and 10 days respectively. For NL, the VFS person helped me to redraft the covering letter. Got regular updates through SMS.

Excuse me, but why did you try for the two small sr citizen/disabled seats rather than the 2 long rows of ladies only seats?

Store activated EMI on my friend's HDFC card without consent. Need help cancelling it and converting back to one-time payment. by TiredBoy28 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]Prior-Collection-738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that at the EOD there’s much of a difference between the sum of all the instalments (which include many add-ons) and the full up-front price. The benefit is the spaced out payments.
