You might have direct flights to Pune too.

Hi Jaipradeesh,

I can't find any flight direct from KL to Pune and vice versa, all of them have 2 stops (just check the MAS, Jet Airways Website, Skyscanner and Expedia).
For the transit city either Mumbai / Delhi / Chennai it depends on the departure time, mostly the price is almost same, different only a few dollars.

Thanks.

Prima Yogi,

We discussed your ticket yesterday and concluded that we would like to support cost of your travel to the FUDCon. Flight costs to Mumbai are typically much cheaper and from there we will be arranging for cabs to get you to Pune. So here's what we'd like you to do (sooner the better):

  1. Find flight cost to Mumbai
  2. Find flight cost to Pune (once again since it may have changed)

Based on the difference we may tell you to book one of the two options right away.

Hi Siddesh,

Thank You for the opportunity
May I know do i have to reimburse or you are going to buy a ticket for me?

Here the ticket price based on Skyscanner.
1. Flight form KL - Mumbai (2 ways) 25-29 June :

  • $377 Malaysia Airlines
  • $428 Jet Airways
  • $492 Sri Lankan
  • $492 Thai Airways
  1. Light from KL - Pune (2 ways) 24-29 June :
  • $462 Malaysia Airlines+Jet Airways (stop in mumbai or chennai)
  • $597 Jet Airways (stop in mumbai or chennai)

Hi Prima Yogi,

FUDCon is over and there are no actions due on this ticket. Please post a link to your trip report so that we know how the conference went for you.

Yogi, can you please add your paypal ID here?

Hi Siddhesh, here my paypal ID : loviniltra@gmail.com

Thank You.

Thanks, assigning to Ruth for payout of '''USD 61.80''' to Paypal account '''loviniltra AT gmail DOT com'''.

This appears to be a credit card statement, not a receipt. We need a receipt to do reimbursements.

I already email the Indian Embassy that they are not providing any kind of payment receipt, here the email [http://loviniltra.nyc/receipt.png screenshot].

Hi Ruth,

Any update about this ticket?

There can be no reimbursement without a payment receipt. Yogi, I'm afraid you'll have to bear the cost of the visa yourself.
