Mumbai to Raipur Flight
My Trip to Raipur – Catching up With Friends
It had been long time that I was caught up with my studies so recently I planned a trip to the beautiful city of Raipur so as to hang out with my best of friends and take a break from my schedule. Here is an account of all the wonderful experiences that I had on this trip. So stay tuned to be part of all the fun and frolic. I prefer budget travel. One important point that I always keep in mind while planning my trip is to make the travel and accommodation bookings at least 28 days in advance to do away with all the unnecessary last minute booking expenses.
JetLite – budget and comfortable flights
I had travelled a couple of times to various Indian cities on JetLite flights and hence I booked this particular air carrier for my trip from Mumbai to Raipur. I booked my JetLite Mumbai to Raipur flight online a month in advance. My JetLite flight number 4201 took off from the Mumbai Airport at 12.50 pm and reached the Raipur Airport at 2.35 pm. The state of the art in – flight entertainment system, comfortable recliner seats with ample leg room even in economy class cabins made the travel a very comfortable venture given the price. As I reached the Raipur Airport afresh I took the airport shuttle offered by my hotel to reach to my abode in the city which I had booked online.

I had booked the Hotel Simran Regency for my stay in Raipur. This two star budget accommodation offers decent services to ensure a comfortable and cozy stay in the city. The hotel is best suited for price sensitive travelers like me. Some of the amenities offered by the hotel include –

The check – in time for the hotel is 2 pm and the check out time is 12 pm. I took the rental car service of the hotel and went out to explore the city. I am quite fond of shopping so the very first thing I visited was a famous mall in Raipur.
Shopping spree in Raipur
The very first place that I visited in the city was the Magneto – The Mall in Raipur. The mall is located in the heart of the city and hence was easily accessible from my hotel via public transport. The mall has a number of leading brands for shopping enthusiasts. Moreover the food court also has some of the good food chains where I grabbed some snacks. Hereafter I was in a mood for a movie. So I went to the famed RK Mall where I watched a movie at the Glitz cinemas. The day was spent well and I headed to my hotel to retire for the night hoping for the next day to be even better and exciting.
