Free Kindle device for in-flight use on Air Asia

Here's a rather nice promotion that I came across only just now. Which is a shame, because this promotion started nearly 3 weeks back, and is due to end in another 10 days. Nonetheless, it caught my attention because I do love reading, and this promotion fuels that interest of mine (even if I won't be flying Air Asia any time soon, because of my schedules).

During the promotion period (25 July to 25 August 2016), Air Asia is handing out Kindle devices for in-flight reading, in partnership with Amazon. These are, of course, returnable.


The facility is available through the promotion period, on the following flights:
  • Bangalore - Vizag, and v/v
  • New Delhi - Goa, and v/v
  • New Delhi - Guwahati, and v/v
  • Bangalore - Chandigarh, and v/v
  • Bangalore - New Delhi, and v/v
  • Bangalore - Jaipur
There are 25 Kindles available per flight, and are available for free for use during the flight. You can find more information here, including the T&Cs.

There's also a further promotion for a Rs 1,000 discount on the purchase of an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, for Air Asia India passengers during the above promotion period. Your boarding pass will include a discount code that can be applied during the purchase. More information on that, here.

I personally find this promotion to be interesting because it combines two of my personal interests - flying and reading!

Readers: What's your take? Interesting promotion?

Smoking areas at Indian airports

Image
I know its a dirty habit, but it has been around for nearly 7000 years! Granted, aviation is only a little over a 100 years old, but there always will be smokers. So here’s a low-down on smoking rules and areas in some airports: New Delhi  Terminal 1D (Domestic): Available, after security. Go to the food court on the first floor. The smoking room has been relocated to the ground level (all boarding gates) and is near the crew security area opposite Gate 13. Terminal 3 (Domestic): Available, after security. There’s one on the first floor – between the eateries and the lounges, one on the left just before the ramp towards the gates (at the end of the food stalls), and one behind the flight display screens between the left and right concourses. Terminal 3 (International): Smoking areas are available only at the concourses to gates. There's one on the right at the beginning of the right concourse, and one in the middle on the "D" pier. Mumbai Terminal 1A (Domestic):    [I...
