I looked at bidorbuy.com today and was pleasantly surprised to see that my preferred travel site, https://thomascook.co.in, has tied up with them for travel auctions!
And there are some fantastic deals in there. You can fly to anywhere in Europe and back on Alitalia for Rs. 25, 000. The Business Class seats are for Rs. 55, 000. These seats usually cost 40, 000 and 1.2 lakhs respectively!
And, of course, when you’re buying airline tickets you don’t really need to check out the merchandise.
So there it is, I on’t know about you but I’m off to Europe!
