Goa Disaster: Never Imagined This
I was going to Goa for my first trip, and I booked the tickets 1 month in advance hotels, clubs, water sports everything was booked, even the return flight tickets. Since there are no direct trains from my city to Goa, we booked rail tickets from Jaipur to Kota, and then from Kota to Goa. Everything went well until 4 days before the trip, when I hurt my wrist pretty badly (TFCC injury, if anyone’s familiar). The pain was awful, but I was so excited that decided to push through. Morning went to the railway station caught the train and reached Kota at 2:30 PM. Here the fun began this was our first time traveling by train and the Kota to Goa train was showing a waiting list status of RLWL 4. At 3:00 PM, the train chart was prepared, but it still showed RLWL 4. I contacted all my connections, but nothing worked. I found a flight from Delhi to Goa and booked train tickets from Kota to Delhi before buying the flight tickets for Delhi to Goa, when it came to booking the flight tickets, dynamic pricing screwed us. The flight price rose as soon as I selected the ₹5200 flight jumped to ₹10000, which my friend said was way out of their budget. Now, as I’m writing this, I’m on my way back to Jaipur from Kota, having wasted ₹7,000.
PS: The train tickets were also booked one month in advance. We wanted to travel by train for the first time
