the addresses I have on the wiki are the ones I got from the confirmation emails.

OK no worries, I was just adding some pins to Google Maps and noticed that the "Get Directions" link takes you to a different street than the one listed as the address

I don't think so

Are the main airports in large Indian cities situated somewhere which would allow the good old strategy "get to the airport, rent something outside the city, get people there, never go *into* the city at all"? :p
2022-09-27 27010, 2022
reosarevok
Or are they of the "you're doomed to drive through the city" style :p
2022-09-27 27021, 2022
reosarevok
Anyway, none of this helps you for this year :(

Well, in case it's any consolation, you get to join the best part of the team (that is, me) via zoom!

(I know it's not much consolation)

delhi airport is in the city and has great metro/train connectivity. i am not aware of other airports.
2022-09-27 27045, 2022
lucifer
yeah but no worries. there's always a next time. maybe next year...
2022-09-27 27047, 2022
lucifer
hah indeed
2022-09-27 27018, 2022

The problem of "great metro/train connectivity" is that you're still inside an insane mass of humans :D
2022-09-27 27028, 2022
reosarevok
(although it's still better than many airports then)
what really pisses me off is the audacity that you need to show plane tickets and accomodation receipts when applying. and then you get turned down.
2022-09-27 27028, 2022
mayhem
pisses me off.
2022-09-27 27033, 2022
reosarevok
Yeah, that's absolute bullshit
2022-09-27 27048, 2022
lucifer
yeah indeed.
2022-09-27 27054, 2022

and getting a tourist visa is probable even harder no?
2022-09-27 27008, 2022
reosarevok
Now at least I'd assume so, since it's not like it's a new name
2022-09-27 27024, 2022
lucifer
i'd assume so, yes.
2022-09-27 27030, 2022

might be easier actually, things tend to get more complicated once business is involved
2022-09-27 27041, 2022
reosarevok
I mean, can't hurt to try, maybe?
2022-09-27 27050, 2022
reosarevok
Other than emotionally, with a tinge of despair?
2022-09-27 27010, 2022
atj
do you have to pay to apply?
2022-09-27 27012, 2022
lucifer
it won't get processed in time for this year in any case.
2022-09-27 27021, 2022
lucifer
atj: about 10k INR.
2022-09-27 27024, 2022

lucifer: check it out to see if it is a possibilty. happy to cover costs.
2022-09-27 27058, 2022
mayhem
lucifer: also, there are companies that get visa on behalf of people. sometimes those pull more weight because they are being used by business people for last minute travel.
2022-09-27 27006, 2022
reosarevok
lucifer: and they take it even if they reject you? fucking hell
2022-09-27 27011, 2022
mayhem
if we can find someone like that, I've got some money for that.
2022-09-27 27012, 2022

mayhem: they ask for a 15 day buffer period before the date of travel.
