ICC planning to use Dubai as a hub for T20 WC

The ICC wants to ferry England cricketers to Dubai and then to the Caribbean where the T20 World cup begins end of the month.This is due to the fears of the ash induced travel chaos affecting the WC
ICC could be better off focusing its resources to better run the game than to indulge in such moves.It should be left to ECB and individual boards to figure out how to get its players to the West Indies rather than ICC.
The T20WC is becoming an annual jamboree in the International cricket circuit .Most World Cup events are held once in 4 years,the T20 WC being different.
ICC figures to use helicopters and low flying aircraft as per an article in the Straights Times.

Global Travel Disruption

The more we advance,the more we remain at the mercy of nature and its elements.The ongoing Volcanic ash disruption has ensured that other modes are as important as Air Travel.
More than 313 airports are globally affected.Insurance companies are not honouring the claims.
It has led to passengers spending time at terminals,or at hotels.If you are stuck up at KLIA or Changi or at Incheon it may still be bearable,while imagine the plight if you are stuck in an Indian airport or an African airport or an American airport-the situation might be unbearable.
Imagine the plight of stranded tourists who will rake up high roaming charges on their telephones.
Travel touch sincerely hopes that travellers face the least inconvenience and global travel gets back to its best.

Tiger Airways,Hotel Ista Bengaluru

Recently went on a trip to India by Tiger Airways.The return flight was delayed by 3 hours.The air safety announcements can be improved,as the girls who announce speak in Singlish.Many of my co passengers just could not understand.The crew  can show more enthusiasm.
Stayed at Hotel Ista ,Bengaluru.The Hotel is nice and comfortable,but is more of a Business Hotel than a leisure 5Star Hotel.
The rooms are smaller than usual,the lobby is small as well.The restaurant scores high on design.The rooms are functional.Their check in is excellent.Staff are also good.Special mention for Mr Cheema,Naren and Karan.
