Hello from Delhi folks. Shipra and I have been going back and forth between Delhi and Mumbai, flying the fabulous Vistara business class product a couple of times in the process, and the weekend was also taken over by the unfortunate incident regarding the Boeing 737 MAX 8 crash of Ethiopian Airlines. So, we skipped the weekly recap, hence double recap this weekend.
We had a fabulous day meeting miles and points enthusiasts of Delhi yesterday at the Mileage Mentor Masterclass Delhi. We are now trying to figure out where we take the Mileage Mentor MasterClass next. So, if you would like to attend the MasterClass in May, leave us your comments below or on our Social Media channels.
