[governance] Hyderabad and travel to India -- good experience

Fri Nov 28 09:32:24 EST 2008

Hello All,

Any one who wants to avoid Bombay have several options:  1) fly direct into
hyderabad if there is a direct flight or 2) fly to any of the cities -
Chennai (Madras), Bangalore or Delhi (New Delhi) which are all cities well
connected by air to Hyderabad.

The domestic and international terminals in Chennai and Bangalore are NOT in
separate locations. In Delhi they are in separate locations, but transfers
are usually taken care of the by the airlines, there are courtesy coaches,
and even if it is not included, it is not a problem at all finding free or
paid transportation at $ 5 - $ 10

The experiences shared by Adam Peake, Ian Peter and Katiza should encourage
all to attend the IGF at Hyderabad, and I have no hesitation in saying that
it would be a normal experience in any city other than Mumbai and that those
traveling to Hyderabad will be secure in Hyderabad and shall have a good
experience.

Welcome to the IGF.
