"Dear passenger we're sorry to announce that your flight has been re scheduled for the next month as the weather is very bad there at the moment" Heck !!! We had to turn back after 250 kms from Srinagar while going to Leh.... no roadblock ... however we were told by some inbound truck drivers that the visibility was TOO bad on the highways and it was raining like hell... but the road was a paradise to travel..... _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

I am quite against opening up Ladakh and the Andamans to large no of tourists! nitin Back to top COUGAR Member Joined: 01 Jan 2007 Posts: 986 Location: Bangalore Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 9:09 am    Post subject: Heck why not! Seats on the delhi-Leh segment are hard to find anyway! more so because flights are load-restricted on the way back and IC A320's cannot operate with more than 120/130 pax onthe return leg. So much so that in the summer season, both IC and 9W operate extra flights departing within 10 minutes of each other! This is one of the sectors where there is no apex or anything. So more competition is always welcome. PS: I am glad to see another A320 operator in Leh. The A320 is the only one which has cargo door large enough to squeeze a Royal Enfield through! _________________ http://www.cougar-rides.com <B>Live to Ride - Ride to Live</B> -- Back to top the_380 Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2329 Location: Mumbai, India Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 1:09 pm    Post subject: Quote: PS: I am glad to see another A320 operator in Leh.

Some lazy bums who come with me lost interest half way through and try to ship their bikes back by truck and lfy back! Like some queens did last year! Thats when i found out that only IC was willing to accept an enfield to carry back to delhi. And for 17.85 a kilo not a bad deal at all! But for me: I ride back! Unless my steed gets crippled _________________ http://www.cougar-rides.com <B>Live to Ride - Ride to Live</B> -- Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 3:40 am    Post subject: COUGAR wrote: No man!
