CABI by SKIL, part of the well-established SKIL Group, has launched a premium airport transfer service offering an all-inclusive flat rate as low as Rs. 15.72 per kilometer. This service marks a major step forward in making corporate-level transportation services accessible to everyday consumers at an affordable price, enhancing the airport travel experience in India.
With a 24-year legacy in the transportation industry, SKIL Group has built a reputation for delivering reliable cab services to over 200 global companies across 250 cities. Now, CABI by SKIL is expanding from a business-to-business (B2B) model to a direct-to-consumer (D2C) service. The goal is to ensure that every traveler experiences the same dependable and comfortable ride that corporate clients have enjoyed for years.
One of the common issues faced by airport travelers is unpredictability—delays, cancellations, surge pricing, or poorly maintained vehicles. CABI by SKIL addresses these challenges by providing on-time pickups, clean vehicles, professional drivers, and complete safety at a consistent flat rate. Whether the distance is short or long, customers are guaranteed the same pricing.
“This launch reflects our unwavering commitment to addressing the needs of our customers,” said Vikash Kejriwal, COO of CABI by SKIL. “We recognized the demand for a simple, flat-rate pricing model that eliminates the uncertainty of airport commutes. Whether you’re heading to the airport or returning home, CABI by SKIL ensures a smooth journey with no hidden fees, surge pricing, or night surcharges.”
CABI by SKIL is currently operational at 10 major airports, with plans to expand to 100 airports over the next 180 days. The service combines affordability with luxury, offering a superior option compared to traditional market choices. Additionally, to celebrate the launch, CABI by SKIL is offering a 50% discount on all rides until September 30th using the promo code CABI50, available to all customers without restrictions.
Booking is made easy via the CABI by SKIL website or by sending a WhatsApp message with “Hi” to +917400474741. With its longstanding expertise in the transportation sector, CABI by SKIL promises a reliable and stress-free airport transfer experience for all passengers.

In a time where celebrations are becoming more meaningful and curated, Indian couples are making a clear choice: Destination weddings. Through the lens of Mr. Dilbir Sahni—affectionately known in the industry as Bob—this evolving trend comes to life. As the founder of IndoBangkok, a company at the forefront of luxury events and weddings in Thailand, Bob shares insights shaped by two decades of experience creating unforgettable moments for Indian families.
Once considered aspirational, destination weddings are now a conscious decision. The trend is catching on fast—up from 18% in 2022 to 26% in 2024. And leading this dreamy escape? Thailand.
Gone are the days of crowded banquet halls and logistical juggling. Today’s couples are opting for intimate beachfront vows, hilltop pheras, and royal-themed parties at luxury resorts. Thailand, with its postcard-perfect landscapes, warm hospitality, and ease of planning, offers a spectacular stage for love stories to unfold.
So what’s fueling this shift? It’s about simplifying the complex. Destination weddings allow couples to focus on what really matters: spending meaningful time with loved ones. With everyone gathered in one location, the chaos of multiple venues fades away, replaced by a relaxed, immersive vibe.
And it’s not just better for the couple—it’s a win for guests too. Think of it as a wedding with built-in vacation vibes. Guests enjoy quality time, beautiful settings, and great food—all while creating memories that go far beyond the ceremony.
The impact is showing in travel numbers. In 2024, Thailand welcomed over 2.1 million Indian tourists, many attending weddings. The message is clear: this is not just a trend—it’s a movement.
Thailand has become the ultimate canvas for Indian weddings. Whether it’s a sunset beach affair, a jungle-meets-ceremony celebration in Chiang Mai, or a royal-style event in a palace-like resort, Thailand offers variety without overwhelming complexity.
Short flights, simple visa processes, and English-speaking staff ease the journey. Add to that a robust network of Indian planners, chefs who know their dal makhani from their dal tadka, and venues that are nothing short of magical—and you’ve got a celebration that feels both familiar and fresh.
Best of all? The country offers five-star luxury at surprisingly affordable prices, making premium experiences accessible for a broader range of families.
Weddings are no longer just personal milestones. They’re catalysts for economic and cultural exchange. Each wedding brings life to a destination—boosting tourism, creating local jobs, and reviving small businesses. In many ways, these celebrations are a new kind of travel, one rooted in love, community, and shared joy.
Thailand isn’t just a backdrop—it’s becoming an integral part of Indian wedding stories. With its blend of beauty, accessibility, and cultural understanding, it’s no surprise that Thailand is emerging as India’s favourite wedding playground.
Because at the heart of every great wedding is a story worth travelling for.

Several airports across northern India were temporarily shut down this morning as India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, conducting targeted military strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Srinagar airport was among the first to suspend operations, confirmed airport officials. Alongside Srinagar, other impacted airports included Leh, Jammu, Amritsar, and Dharamshala, as mentioned in a post by SpiceJet on X.
Air India announced that all its flights to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot would remain cancelled until 12 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, IndiGo stated that its Bikaner operations were also affected by the disruptions.
Airlines took to social media to alert passengers about potential delays and cancellations, urging them to check their flight status and plan their travel accordingly.
Flight tracking platforms showed no commercial flights operating north of New Delhi, reflecting the scale of the airspace shutdown. This situation will affect domestic air traffic in the northern part of India.
Further updates are expected in the coming hours.

Traveling solo this summer doesn’t have to break the bank. With the right destinations and budget stays, you can enjoy unforgettable experiences while keeping costs low. From high-altitude deserts to scenic lakes and beachside bliss, here are five affordable travel options across India for solo adventurers.
1. Spiti, Himachal Pradesh – The Budget Ladakh Alternative
For those dreaming of Ladakh but looking for a cost-effective option, Spiti Valley offers a stunning and budget-friendly alternative. The raw beauty of its high-altitude landscapes, peaceful monasteries, and dramatic cliffs make it ideal for solo explorers. Stay at Zostel Spiti, which offers budget dorms and cozy private rooms with scenic views, and a great chance to meet fellow travelers.
Budget Tip: Use public buses from Manali or Shimla instead of private cabs to reduce travel costs.
2. Kareri Lake, Himachal Pradesh – A Scenic Himalayan Escape
For nature lovers, Kareri Lake is an offbeat trekking destination surrounded by snowy peaks and pine forests. Enjoy a bonfire dinner under starry skies and camp beside the serene glacial lake. Zo Trips offers a 2-night package with accommodation at Zostel and Kareri campsite, meals, Volvo bus transport from Delhi to Dharamshala and back, local taxis, and permits—all thoughtfully arranged for solo explorers.

3. Varkala, Kerala – A Beach Escape Without the Crowd
Skip the crowds of Goa and head to Varkala—a calm coastal town with cliffs, clean beaches, and great seafood. Zostel Varkala offers a chill vibe with comfortable dorms and shared spaces, just minutes from the beach.
Budget Tip: Try Kerala-style “Thattukadas” for delicious street food that’s easy on the wallet.
4. Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh – The Hidden Gem of Tirthan Valley
Jibhi is the perfect retreat for travelers seeking peace, nature, and old-world charm. Think riverside trails, wooden houses, and cascading waterfalls. Stay at Zostel Homes Laida, a traditional homestay with a Himachali-style home and private mudhouse. It’s a quiet, soulful experience ideal for solo stays.
Budget Tip: Explore nearby villages on foot, like Chehni Kothi, to avoid cab fares and enjoy authentic interactions.
5. Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh – Unexplored and Unforgettable

With smart choices—like hostels, shared tours, and public transport—solo travel in India can be both thrilling and affordable. These destinations promise a mix of adventure, culture, and scenic beauty without the high price tag.
