That car is burning from there. There is another one next to it. Both met with an accident. What we are doing is very bad Pilots have reached. Airhostess are yet to come. The flight will take off only after they come. I have reached Kochi. Look at him showing off. Bill is bigger than Swetha I couldnt be home for many days after our house warming. Missing home a lot. Morevoer Rishi is growing up Missing all the fun with him and my family I am sure all the NRIs would be knowing how it is. I miss m
y family a lot during my travel Bye to Holiday Inn Express near London Heathrow Airport Shamjithbhai is waiting outside. We have come to Cosco. I had gone to Cosco when I had been to Japan Arent you visiting Cosco for the first time? Check it out. You can take a membership. It is very reasonable Shamjithbhai has a membership here. Let us see how is Cosco UK After that we shall go to the airport Look at the size of it. Everything is wholesale. This is bigger than what we saw at Japan It is in a s
ingle floor here Let us go around and see what they have. This is nice. If you fold it, it closes down all This is the one. You have everything here I was buying some toys for Rishi. This is the area of drinking water People will buy things from here and sell it outside. You can even buy from here and export too. Cosco is an awesome concept. We have come to Haze. Shamjithbhai has come to see someone All the shop boards have Tamil writings You can say London is now like how Dubai was earlier. You
have people from all over Asia around the world. Yesterday we went to a place full of Gujaratis. Here all the boards have Tamil writings. When you go to East Ham, you find lot of Keralites. London is full of Asians, especially Indians and Chinese This is actually the outskirts of London. It is a part of London only. Ok. Not the main, but the outskirts. It is 4.30pm and we are now on the way to the airport. We will take 1 hour to reach there. Fazilbro is tired He is sleeping behind. Nice horses
in this field On the way to the airport, we saw a car caught fire. The whole road is blocked. Is that car completely burnt? There are 2 cars. They met with an accident. One is lying on the other side. The police bikes are seen. They have come. The car that was on fire has rolled that side. We have been waiting here for 10-15mts That car is still on fire. 2 policemen are here. No fire engines yet. It is totally blocked. An ambulance is seen now. It is fully blocked here. The fire force has come.
They have to cease the fire and only then can we go. Or we have to go the other way. But since we have crossed. It will be difficult. An ambulance is also in the middle of the road. The traffic officer has asked us to take reverse and go He said we wont be able to go forward now. I have reached London Gatwick Airport We have come to the South Terminal of London Gatwick Airport. This airport is a bit away from London City. But to go to Kochi, we have to take a flight from here. It is like going f
rom Kochi to Coimbatore to catch a flight. Almost that far from London to here. Earlier Kochi flights were from Heathrow. But now they have been shifted to Gatwick This is the check - in counter for our flight Go an break your fast. It's almost time for you. You will be coming to Kerala soon As soon as you go, he comes soon. Our big trip is on planning. We will be starting that in May. Preparations for that is going on. We shall all depart now. Done with the security check and now I am at the du
ty free area. You can buy what you want from here. After that we shall go and sit in the lounge We have lounge access. I think I am going to take an International flight from here for the first time. Where is our gate? There is a lounge here We have 30mts. We shall sit in the lounge. I bought few things from the duty free shop. They have an awesome lounge here. I think they have some terms with Air India There is a special area here with only passengers of Air India We have been asked to sit her
e They asked if I wanted food. We have just 20mts So I asked for a drink and snacks. We just have to sit here. They will get it for us. To board our flight, we have to walk a lot. Our gate is A13. They announce it only at the last moment. No business class or priority for us. All go in a queue to board the flight That is very bad. Business class passengers are not given any priority except the lounge access. This is a pre boarding area This is where you sit after your passport and boarding pass
are checked. The rush and queue was to get in here. There was no board for business or economy class passengers. So all came here in the same queue. I asked them doesnt business class passengers have a separate queue They said I could have just walked in front. No issues on that. I said until you keep a writing, how can we just walk in. If they say something, then we would get confused When you are a part of that, you have to get the service accordingly. Our flight is delayed. Looks like the 8.3
0 flight will leave only by 10pm First they said it would leave at 9pm. Now all are sitting inside. I went inside to go to the toilet. Its been an hour since we are sitting there It is not Air India's fault for the delay. We had seen a car on fire while coming to the airport. The road there is blocked. Cabin crew/airhostess havent reached. The pilots are here. Only if the airhostess come, the flight will take off. Flight was to leave at 8.30. It is 9.30 and the airhostesses are here Once they ge
t in, we too can board It is 9.30pm. Let us board the flight. We are going to fly with a 9yr old Air India Dreamliner. Got into the flight. The crew were coming and saying sorry to all. They said it isnt Air India's mistake. They were caught in a block. It was the traffic issue. Pilots were here 1.5hrs back. They came from Heathrow and that is why they got late. This is our seat. Last time I was on that side. This time I took 3A The last row in business class. This is my favourite seat. Blankets
are provided. Shall have a good sleep after having food. Nice pillow too. Shall sleep well. When they gave me apple juice as welcome drink, I said I shall have Champagne So I got it. They poured it in front of me. Got the headset. They said they will collect it an hour before landing. I am anyways going to sleep. Let it be there They finished all the boarding formalities soon. We are going to leave at 9.45pm The crew of Air India are very good and friendly. Their service is excellent. Thought t
he seats are a bit old, service is amazing. They may change the seats soon. Ours is the last flight to take off from here. This airport closes at night. The last flight is at 11pm and then the next flight is only at 6am. This airport opens at night only for emergency. We just took off and we can see a flight above us. Infotainment is on and I thought of watching Drishyam 2. I have already seen the other 2 movies. I have seen this one too but thought of watching it again. We have got our amenity
kit It is a pyjama set of Tumi. Can wear it at night if needed. I gave Fazilbro what I got while coming. He tried and said it was correct for him I had got this one too while coming, but didnt give that to Fazil. Good box. It is a cute box. I liked it. Pen, socks, dental kit, Lip balm, moisturizer But no perfume I opted for chicken in the menu. For breakfast they have vada, idly and dosa We shall order that in the morning. I am watching a movie. Got an appetizer in between The main course is her
e. Jeera pulao and raita for main course. Awesome food. Paratha is served. Might bring pappad. Or we shall adjust with these. Got pappad. It is Air India's masterpiece You can have rice with pappad. That is the highlight of Air India. Had food. Got the dessert. I went to the toilet after food. Saw my bed ready to sleep when I got back When I got onto the bed, they laid the blanket over me. Amazing service. You have a bedsheet and then they let me settle and covered me well I am going to sleep. N
obody in the next seat. So I took that pillow. I am going to sleep well. Since the flight is noisy, hope nobody will hear me snoring. See you at Kochi. I am brushing my teeth Our breakfast is here. Upma, vada, sambar, chutney, green tea and organic curd, fresh fruits, croissant We are going to land at Kochi We boarded from London, had dinner and slept. Woke up in the morning and now we are going to land at Kochi. I shall tell you how I got this ticket for 22000/- I shall tell you that from home.
Look at Keralas beauty We have begun to see the greenery The new national highway work can be seen from here. I have reached Kochi. This came from London now. You can see the one going to London here itself. Both are here now. There isnt any flights at this time. I finished immigration soon and got out In 2mts I have reached the duty free. We just have to get our bags. Air India boxes are here. You have very little flights during the day I have booked a pre paid taxi. Toyota Fortuner is given
for service. No car or Abhi are at home Abhi is busy travelling. I reached home. Sujith Bhakthan has reached downstairs Rishi is sleeping. I thought of giving him a surprise from downstairs He is looking that side. I am standing here. Where is Rishi? He is sleeping. Have I lost weight? Yes you have You still have access. Dont worry.

Orange Valencia from South Africa Valencia is a place in France. It is near Nice, a place I visited this time. This is known in the brand name Valencia
. It is grown in South Africa and many other countries too. Show them the bill. It is funny. Done with our shopping at Lulu Mall Look at that. It is bigger than Swetha. Hold it. It is bigger than you. This is Lulu monthly shopping. You wouldve seen the title and would be wondering how I got the ticket at this rate I booked the ticket 2 months before traveling. As I mentioned earlier, I always book tickets directly from the airline page I booked this ticket via Air India app. When you travel with
an airline many times, you get miles/reward points. Air India has a flying returns loyalty membership Just like Marriott Bonvoy membership and Holiday Inn IHG membership etc You get many reward points like that. He has a robot car. Ok. Go and play. When you fly from here to Dubai, you get 500-1000 flying return points. If you accumulate the points, you can redeem them. This is not only the points I got by traveling with Air India Many of us use credit cards and debit cards of many banks. When y
ou use credit cards, the card also has reward points. I use Axi Bank credit card. We get reward points for all the money we spend through the card. If you spend 1lakh or 50000/-, you may get 5000 or 10000 points. It depends on many factors You can change such points accumulated to airlines site or Marriott site etc I had nearly 90000 points in my account. Look at him showing off. Are you eating parotta? I redeemed these points and took the ticket. I shall show you how we got that ticket. If you
are traveling from London to Kochi, select that They will show you the fare Around 1053 pounds. That is around 1.2 lakhs including service charges I used my 90000 points to book this ticket I could get an economy ticket if I redeemed 45000 points. I could get a business class ticket if I redeemed 90000 points. I am taking about Air India now. He has Air Asia and a Green car Now he will come with his next thing While booking, if you redeem your points, you have a tax. Peanuts. You can have them.
Anything else? What is this? While redeeming your points, you will have to pay a tax When taking a 1.2lakh ticket, 22000 was the tax for it. We will have to pay the tax amount. That is how I got this tickets for 22000/- We got the ticket for 22000 and I redeemed my points too. You have all these advantages when you travel often. There are many membership options such as silver and gold. When you get upgraded to those membership status, you get many benefits Lots behind it. Budget Airlines wont
have flying returns or Airline miles Those using Emirates would know about skywards Oneworld is another one. Under Star Alliance, Air India, Thai Airways, Singapore Airways etc do come When you fly with Singapore Airlines, You can show Air India membership and you get this points there You have so many things in here You would have noticed. I mostly stay at Holiday Inn hotels That is because I am their IHG member. Even if you take the basic category, you get an update to the next level You get f
ree room upgradation Each time you stay, you get points. You can redeem these points again You get welcome bonus and many other options too. . If you continuously use one, you have many advantages. If you go to a supermarket always, you get a special discount. It is a way of attracting customers in their way. So that's it. See tomorrow with another video I will be home for a month. I have lot of work to do. I have to renew my passport and UK visa I have Schengen visa. Have to take China visa. Ha
ve to take Russian visa and many countries visas too. Only then can we start our awesome trip soon I have planned that trip for May 1st week. I shall update you soon on where, how long, how etc.. See you tomorrow. Bye bye. Bye bye.
