If you are a frequent air traveler, here are two updates for you…

Emirates will soon open direct connections to Dubai. I couldn’t locate this in the mainstream media, but it was confirmed to me when I got my return tickets confirmed back from New York directly to Bangalore via Dubai instead of the usual Chennai connection.

Air Deccan introduces a direct connection to Madurai from this month end.

Will the infrastructure take this additional load? That’s a different question altogether.

But for now: Go on, fly more!
