 If you’re looking for an affordable international flight from Mumbai with full-service benefits, my recent journey on Kuwait Airways from Mumbai to Bahrain via Kuwait might surprise you. This was my first time flying Kuwait Airways, and honestly, the experience was much better than I expected—especially considering the price I paid. Why I Chose Kuwait Airways Over Air India For my Bahrain trip, I booked a round-trip ticket from Mumbai to Bahrain via Kuwait on Kuwait Airways. The booking was done through Skyscanner, and the total cost came to just ₹15,000 return, which was significantly cheaper compared to Air India and other airlines operating on the same route. Even though I hold Air India Gold Elite status, paying almost double the fare didn’t make sense. At this price point, Kuwait Airways offered unbeatable value, making it an easy decision.

 If you follow my blog or YouTube channel, you already know how much I enjoy exploring premium credit cards, reward points, and luxury travel experiences. After using the American Express Platinum Charge Card for two continuous years, I closed my Platinum Card in September this year because I didn’t receive any attractive retention or renewal offer from Amex. To my surprise, the cancellation experience was incredibly smooth — the request was accepted on chat and completed in just 15 minutes. Honestly, even cancelling free lifetime cards with other issuers takes more time, but that’s Amex for you — fast, efficient, and customer-centric. ⭐ The Unexpected Upgrade Offer From Amex (November) Even though I closed the Platinum Charge Card, I still held the Amex Gold Charge Card. In November, I received my first upgrade email from American Express India offering: 100,000 Membership Rewards Points Additional 25,000 Bonus Points On upgrading from Gold Charge to Platinum Charge Card To avail ...
