New Delhi-Dublin-Cincinnati-New Delhi

A couple planned to travel from New Delhi to DublinIreland than from Dublin, Ireland to Cincinnati, United States and then back to New Delhi. As they are retired couple they do not have time constraint and travel dates were more flexible w.r.t. a working professional but comfort and economy are the major criteria which plays the vital role in deciding their travel.

Air View Services suggested that they take a flight from New Delhi to DublinIreland on 22 April 2017. Further from Dublin, Ireland to Cincinnati, United States on 15th July 2017 and then back to New Delhi India on 10 Oct 2017. While designing the itinerary Air View Services kept in mind three major factors namely comfort of the elderly during flights , elderly couple can spend most time with their kins and of course they save a considerable amount during travel.

As per Air View Services the best suitable itinerary is as under.



DATE     DEP TIME         FROM                   TO           FLIGHT NO       AIRLINE NAME
22APR      0245           DELHI DEL         FRANKFURT    LH761                 LUFTHANSA
22APR      1000         FRANKFURT        DUBLIN DUB    LH978                 LUFTHANSA
15JUL       1225        DUBLIN DUB         Dulles/Wash     LH8939               LUFTHANSA
15JUL       1705         Dulles/Wash          CINCINNATI    LH9066               LUFTHANSA
01OCT      1830         CINCINNATI         Newark EWR    UA4353              UNITED AIRLINES
01OCT 2200 Newark EWR DELHI DEL UA082 UNITED AIRLINES 


The entire trip costed 3080 USD to the couple with considerable amount of relaxation during hoping flights as we all are aware how tiresome long flights can become when one is travelling in economy class.

The similar itinerary when compared with online travel portal, which claims to return five times the difference in fare as price guarantee to customer in thier e-wallet if the lower fares were found,was to cost 3196 USD. Air View Services proved economical by 116 USD which makes approx 4% of the entire cost to the couple.

Though the economy offered by Air View Services was only 4% in this case due to flexibility of travel dates, this could have been much more if one has to travel under non flexible schedule.
