Sounds cheap for a 2N/3D holiday, I thought. But wait, try to logon to the website to register your coupon. If you get it in the 1st attempt, I would reward you with my holiday package! It is perennially down
Finally I was able to login once and it asked me to choose three destinations and three peferred dates. I thought, man they are spoiling me for choice. Good! I went ahead and entered the same. Turned out that they have blackout periods for all major hill stations (e.g. Ooty, Nainital, Manali etc) from April-September. Umm, ohh, OK. Next?
I change destination and dates. But then another condition comes up. You cant put down a request for 2 destinations within a gap of 7/14 days of each other  . So where exactly is the choice these guys are talking about?
If I have a long weekend and I wish to go to either of the 3 places that I have requested, I simply cannot, because thats the way the rules are designed! And the best part - you have to submit your request for holiday package at least 20 days in advance and they will take another week or so to process. Coupled with the above factors (non-availability during long weekends and black out periods) it seems that not many 'winners' would be able to avail this 'free' holiday package! |
