Flying through Kuwait

[Guest guest]

Om Amriteshwaryai namah,

 

The Department of State recently issued a warning regarding travel to Kuwait,

where I will be stopping for about five hours on the way to the ashram. It seems

that there were several incidents on December 14 in which shots were fired at

U.S. military personnel in Kuwait so they've increased the warning for travel to

this area and informed travelers that they may temporarily close or suspend

public services for security reasons. I figure that I'm not going to be there

that long so it's probably not that big of a deal, but I'm wondering if anyone

thinks I should seriously consider changing my flight (flying through Singapore

instead).

Dear Kirsten, I had very bad experience with Kuwait

airlines. Although travelling through Kuwait airlines

is relatively cheap compared to others, but it is not

worth it. Worst than my experience was my firend's. My

connecting flight from Kuwait city to Mumbai failed to

start (we where supposed to waith 3 hours) as result

we had to wait 7 hours, untill they got spare flight

for reacing Mumbai. Guess what? due to this delay in

Kuwait city, I missed connecting flight from Mumbai to

Hyderabad which was my destination. This is not a

stray incident,A freind of mine took nearly 3 days to

reach India, facing some kind of same

situation.Customer Service is down right barbaric. I

am not going through Kuwait city any more in my life.

At any day I would prefer Singapore Ailines or going

through Singapore( The most neatest place on Earth).

 

Regards

Avinash.

i cannot complain about kuwait airways. i had a great

flight. waiting, delaying, missing, etc. can happen

with every airline in every city. it's simply part of

the convenience of travelling by plane. and also part

of going to our beloved!

the world isn't, never has been and never will be a

safe place . . don't worry kirsten, have faith and

go. and have a great time in india!

Om Amriteshwaryai namah

 

Christiane and Avinash, I very much appreciate your advice! I learned that I

would not be able to get a refund on the Kuwait flight so I am going to stick

with my initial itinerary. Come to find out, the day and time of this flight is

very auspicious for me astrologically. I have faith that Amma will protect me on

my journey (as She always does!) and deeply regret that I allowed material

concerns get the better of me instead of trusting Her completely. Just before

calling my travel agent, I asked Amma to bless my travel plans, helping me to

obtain a flight reservation which will enable me to arrive safely at Her ashram.

I should have known better than to allow mundane worries to creep into my mind,

especially considering that I asked Amma to arrange for my flight in the first

place!

 

Jai Ma!

 

Wishing you all a happy holiday season!
