Tuesday 14 November - Hong Kong to Delhi
The original had of course been From Edinburgh to Delhi with the very frugal approach of using accumulated AirMiles. Unfortunately the move changed all that and so we find ourselves on Jet Airways in Premiere and our first curry of the trip.
Needless to say there were a few last minute issues like getting the visa and of course anti-malarial tablets but things finally fell into place and almost a first for flights to India it is a daytime flight so no arriving in Delhi in the wee small hours.
India has introduced e-visa so that should make getting through Immigration easier - well of course only if the finger print reader works and the Officers are trained. So it did take about 30 minutes to get through but luckily its a double entry visa so we are hopeful arriving in Bangalore in December will be a breeze. But of course it is India.
Having picked up the cases we head for our night stop at the Pullman which was quite luxurious !
