Exploring a new city in a different country is always accompanied by a set of challenges without including all the additional costs and travel hassles. But what’s more difficult during this journey is having to board a connecting flight. This is rather inconvenient and often makes us question the entire reason for travelling to a particular destination, as it is time-consuming as well. However, this may change for a lot of you, especially those who’ve been planning to explore the South of India. The reason for this is that Air India Express is now introducing a direct flight between Salalah in Oman and Kochi in India.
