Flying? Choose the best deal

There are some good things you can learn from the west and one such is to have choices in everything. For example, if you want to fly in US, you try for the best deal thru something like Orbitz, Travelocity or Cheaptickets which gives you comparison of the deals available.

India has matured to have such comparison shopping in flight booking given that there are now quite a few airlines like Jet, Kingfisher, SpiceJet, Deccan etc. MakeMyTrip.com has come up with comparison shopping in flight booking now.

Way to go!

Wireless and Mobile Impact

Its old news that the Chennai central station is equipped with wifi network that you can go and browse Internet there! Don't ask me who will go there and browse, afterall. These things, I believe, are the stepping stones for the city to become technologically better.

The news now is that you can book your cinema tickets through SMS in Abirami theaters. And when you buy a ticket, you also can browse the Internet using their WiFi network for half an hour. This idea is the very same as McDonald's in US, which introduced getting free browsing time when you buy a happy meal. Not sure if it was successful or if it still exists.

Anyway, its interesting to note such things happening in Chennai.
