Attending an International Seminar: The Right Flight

How often it is that you are called upon by an international university or a forum to present your research thesis? Hardly are you able to hide the joy and excitement of the opportunity to astonish the best of the best with your novel ideas, the chance to visit a new country, meet new people and see new people.

So when I got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to present my paper in New York, the first two-three day were spent in sheer bewilderment. And when I finally got my senses restored, I was awakened to the need of booking an international airline that was light on my pocket, an airline I could rely on, one that had good service, and remarkable hospitality. Hence, I zeroed in on Lufthansa. The following factors will substantiate why.

A dependable airline. The most important thing is to fly with an airline known for impeccable service and seamless connectivity. When I was searching for flights to fly to New York, I intensively researched the available international flights before zeroing in on Lufthansa. With their amazing service coupled with a range of international flights, they’ve also introduced an A380 in India, something that excited me enough!


A flight with a range of inflight dishes. No wonder energies are synergised to focus on that big stage. But when you are inflight, you want to make sure you serve them everything best. With Lufthansa’s More Indian Than You Think initiative, I relished on some amazing Indian cuisine that was followed by my favourite masala chai. I can’t explain enough the exhilarated feeling savouring my favourite tea at an altitude of 30,000 feet.

Cabin crew. That, definitely, holds the key to a comfortable flight. As Lufthansa sticks to an amazingly hospitable cabin crew that uses national languages such a Hindi and Punjabi, I had an amazing time versing with the crew members.

Inflight entertainment. Might seem a not-too-important thing, but when the flight is long, you got to find ways that keep you engaged. While flying with Lufthansa, I was pleased to come across a range of inflight entertainment options which included not only Bollywood hits but also a range of Bollywood classic songs that my mom hummed before catching a nap. Blissful!

Consider the points above, and you’ll find that flying to a foreign shore with a minefield of knowledge and a flight to cater to all your tastes brings with it a new sense of joy and accomplishment that you’ll love to cherish for a long time.
