Celebrating 100 Charter Flights - IndianLink Interview
100 Charter Flights, not out
In the month of March 2020, under great adversity, we summoned the will and along with the support and blessings of some great well-wishers, we operated our first charter flight.
We weren’t sure back then how many more we would fly. Hey, a part of us wasn’t even sure we would ever have another plane in the air again!
But we persevered. Our backs were against the wall, but we found room for courage. We banked upon the goodwill of our passengers and lo and behold, today, we flew our 100thcharter flight!
We an barely believe that we actually scored a century of charters and we have you, our valued passengers to thank.
We thank you for the opportunity to connect you back with your loved ones. We thank you for the faith you placed in us.
We are grateful for you.
Great stories from our ‘charter’ chapter
In February, 2021, we flew our 10,000th passenger through our charter planes.
We still remember talking to our 10,000th passenger at the airport just as he was about to board (and now we have flown well over 15,000 passengers!). We offered him a business class ticket and the happiness he experienced and expressed remains indescribable.
Later that evening, we also celebrated the event with colleagues, well-wishers from the industry and friends.
Even that night, we did not imagine that we would put a 100 charter planes in the air.
We realised one important lesson: that the human spirit wants to fly free and it can never ever be captured for long.
Want to travel, but haven’t booked?We still have a few charter flights in operation, flying through Singapore. But we are also taking bookings for some commercial flights through other airlines in the new year!
So speak with our friendly staff to get further clarity on the rules and regulations. We are open 24/7.
In the meantime, we wish you a very Happy New Year! We sincerely hope that the new year brings the joy and togetherness that we have all been denied for the last two years.
Make 2022 a year to rememberWe hope that destinations will be unlocked, that borders will remain open, that you the traveller can be as free as ever.
So if travelling in 2022 sounds like a great idea, get onto it now. We have a number of travel packages available.
So, call us and book your seats before we sell out!
Meanwhile, we have a 100 reasons to express our gratitude to all those who make our business tick.
YOU!

Why you need a new 'return booking' strategy
Over the many decades that we have all been travelling, it has almost always been a case of booking a return fare, as opposed to buying two single fares simply because a ‘bundle’ has always been cheaper than the individual parts.
But the last two years have proved that our decades of travelling experience count for nothing.
The Australian Government has announced its imminent plans to open international borders, resulting in a flood of eager travellers who are ready to book and ready to fly.
But a word of caution. Actually, a few words of caution. Choosing the ‘return bundle’ is no longer the best option. Not right now anyway.
Making any predictions into the future is a risky proposition, especially in the world of travel. But we can explain what all of this means for you in the present day scenario with a great deal of certainty.
Booking a flight OUT of Australia to India, is by far the cheapest option. As you are aware, airfares are a complex function of several variables, and at present the rates will be low.
But what about the return leg? As things stand, flying back into Australia is an expensive option. Again, there is very little travel agencies like us can do about it, owing to numerous external factors out of anyone’s control.
I haven’t seen my family in years
We hear you. Which is why we recommend the following:
If you are travelling to India to visit family and friends, we suggest you wait until the return fares become normalized and then book your way back to Australia.
As our customers, you will be the first to know of the changes in the return fares.
Over the last two years, numerous families have been separated geographically. Let us put an end to all the waiting, to all the ‘I miss you’ messages, to the yearning thoughts about loved ones – let us put you on a flight to the country that continues to live on in your heart.
But if you don’t have to rush back to Australia, then we suggest, you wait and watch. While none of us have a crystal ball to read the future, what we know is that as both India and Australia continue to march towards their vaccination targets, the restrictions on the number of passengers will change, along with a few other factors.
It will only become easier to book a cost-efficient journey back to Australia.
So, what should be my new travel strategy?Book a one-way ticket to wherever home is and we will get you there. Re-unite with your family, celebrate all the birthdays you missed, fill your heart with the smells and flavours of India and wait….until the time is right to book your return flight.
If in doubt, please speak to our friendly staff. We have spoken to thousands of passengers and we know what you need to have a beautiful trip to India…and back.
