Delhi, May 15, 2017: They say it’s not the destination but the journey that makes the travel worthwhile, but avid travellers will know that’s not always the case when it comes to flying. Unruly children, chatty neighbors and armrest hoggers can quickly turn a short flight to paradise into your worst nightmare.
