Here's how this app is making road trips super easy for us

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.

Lahore to Karachi road trip

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.

There's more...

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.
