If you're someone like us, you have probably added more travel plans to your 2020 bucket list than anything else. But let's talk facts first: travelling does not come cheap.
If you're a smart traveler (like us), you probably already keep an eye out for good deals.
Only recently, we stumbled across a travel package for Rs500 per year on the Konnect by HBL app with some promising discounts on bus tickets.
Winter break seemed like a perfect time to avail them so we decided to give it a shot.
We're suckers for exciting road trips with friends!
We were able to plan a quick, unwinding trip with friends to Lahore from Karachi with a wide range of discounts and options available on our app.
Our group of six enjoyed a 20% discount online as we booked our tickets for Skyways Daewoo service.
The process was seamless and hassle-free, giving us plenty of time to get done with our packing and deciding on an itinerary for the trip.
In all honesty, we were a little skeptic about the service canceling our booking last minute, but thankfully, it didn't.
Our bus was comfy and spacious with not many sniveling babies on board (score!) and except a few bumps here and there, the journey ran smooth.
We were so thoroughly impressed that we made a return booking from our app as well.
With commute expense sorted, we planned a number of last-minute shopping sprees.
A couple of friends were wary of the bumpy experience a bus ride can involve.
We figured our newly-discovered app carries a ton of options that are available to choose from, and so we made various interesting suggestions.
Here's a complete lowdown of them all:
Besides the one we used, there are additional packages, named foodie and medic, that we feel we're going to check out pretty soon.
