Navigating airport security can be smooth sailing or a comedy of errors. Here are seven funny travel mishaps to steer clear of:
1. Forbidden Carry-Ons
Don't let items like nail scissors or oversized water bottles sneak into your carry-on bag. Check your airline's rules to avoid awkward security moments.
2. Dress Dilemmas
Chunky shoes, accessories with lots of metal, and oversized jackets can trigger extra security checks and slow down the line. Dress sensibly.
3. Liquid Logistics
If your makeup and toiletries look like a science experiment, organise them in clear bags for an easier time at security.
4. Timing Tangles
Choose your travel times wisely; Friday evenings at the airport can feel like a crowded party. Invest in TSA PreCheck® or consider upgrading your seat to beat the rush.
5. Bag Basics
Avoid rummaging through your bag for essentials. Keep your phone, ID, passport, and boarding pass in easy-to-reach spots.
6. Minimise Metal
Don't become a human wind chime. Skip outfits with lots of metal to breeze through security without setting off alarms.
7. Double-Check Your Bag
Before heading to the airport, play a quick game of "What's in My Bag." It could save you from an unexpected showdown with security.
Remember, a little preparation can make airport security a breeze!

Hospitality News is thrilled to celebrate D. Gukesh, the 18-year-old chess prodigy who has become the world’s youngest chess champion. Gukesh’s remarkable victory over reigning champion Ding Liren in a nail-biting final not only brings immense pride to India but also signals a new era for global chess.
Gukesh, now the 18th world champion and only the second Indian after the legendary Viswanathan Anand to achieve this milestone, showcased incredible resilience and strategy throughout the match. His decisive win in the 14th and final classical game came after a small but costly blunder by Ding on the 55th move, which Gukesh capitalized on with precision and composure.
At Hospitality News, we are in awe of his journey—from his gold-winning performances at the Chennai and Budapest Chess Olympiads to his victory in the Candidates Tournament. Gukesh’s unwavering focus, strategic brilliance, and ability to thrive under pressure remind us of the endless possibilities when talent meets hard work.
We also applaud the mentorship of GM Viswanathan Anand and the efforts of the WestBridge Anand Chess Academy in nurturing such exceptional talent. Gukesh’s achievement will undoubtedly inspire the next generation of chess enthusiasts and elevate India’s status in the global chess community.
Here’s to D. Gukesh, a young legend in the making! We at Hospitality News proudly stand behind him and look forward to witnessing his continued success.

As the biggest shopping event of the year, Black Friday 2024 is redefining the retail landscape, particularly in shopping malls across India. This global shopping phenomenon, known for massive discounts and limited-time offers, is more than just a sale—it’s a celebration of consumer excitement, brand engagement, and experiential shopping.
At Hospitalitynews, we delve into how shopping malls are stepping up their game, creating vibrant environments to attract visitors, offering them more than just discounts but a holistic shopping experience.
Unlike the isolated online experience, malls are leveraging Black Friday to offer interactive and immersive shopping experiences. From exclusive giveaways to extended sale hours and entertainment zones, malls are going beyond traditional shopping. The goal? To keep footfall high and make the shopping journey memorable.
Known for housing a blend of premium and budget-friendly brands, Gaur City Mall is offering flat 50%-60% discounts on over 60 renowned brands. Extended hours from 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM ensure that shoppers don’t miss out on the best deals.
Nestled in the heritage-rich Chandni Chowk, Omaxe Chowk merges tradition with modern retail. Shoppers spending ₹1,00,000 or more are rewarded with ₹5,000 gift vouchers, while top spenders (₹3,00,000+) can win 24kt gold coins.
This vibrant mall lives up to its name with its “Record-Tod Sale”, offering flat 50% off on premium brands like H&M, UNIQLO, and Bath & Body Works. For cinema enthusiasts, PVR INOX’s ₹99 movie tickets and unlimited popcorn refills add a touch of entertainment to retail therapy.
Urban Square Mall combines shopping and leisure with its Cinema Lovers Day, allowing visitors to enjoy movies for just ₹99 on 29th November. PVR INOX Kotak Credit Card holders get an even sweeter deal with ticket prices slashed to ₹1.
Malls are becoming spaces where retail meets hospitality, offering curated dining experiences, themed events, and personalized customer service. These efforts amplify footfall and create lasting impressions on shoppers, blending commerce with comfort.
The synergy between retail and hospitality industries is evident as Black Friday sales encourage increased dining, hotel bookings, and even tourist traffic to iconic shopping destinations. Malls like Omaxe Chowk, situated in cultural hubs, are seeing visitors turn shopping sprees into mini-getaways.
Hospitalitynews celebrates these innovations and invites readers to explore the transformative world of Black Friday 2024. As the lines between shopping, leisure, and hospitality blur, it’s clear that malls are here to stay as the heart of modern retail.
