India is one of Lufthansa?s best markets in Asia. And the German airline is ensuring it stays out in front, by operating more flights in and out of India ? to Frankfurt and also Munich. Come November and Lufthansa will add to its existing flights by going from 32 flights a week to 38 connections countrywide. Delhi will be connected to Munich by daily flights, which heralds an increase of four flights a week while its Bangalore-Frankfurt leg will be covered by weekly connections. This will be an increase of two flights from the existing five flights. Yep. Lufthansa calls India a strategic market and expects tremendous growth from this region.

Here?s a package for followers of Shirdi Sai Baba. Air Sahara is offering a package getaway (ex-Delhi) to the Baba?s shrine in Shirdi for an attractive Rs 17,740 per person. The trip includes air fare, two nights and three days in Shirdi, accommodation (on twin-sharing basis) in an air-conditioned room at the well-appointed Sai Darshan-Goradias hotel, a daily vegetarian breakfast and a welcome drink on arrival. Transfer from Mumbai airport to Shirdi (296km) and back is included in the package if you choose to make the trip in a non-AC car. Making the journey in air-conditioned comfort though, will set you back by about Rs 2,275 per head. If you?re taking your child along for the pilgrimage, an extra bed at the hotel will cost a further Rs 400 per night. The offer is valid till September 30.
