Aditya Verma
Bangalore-based corporate IT consultant logging 200K+ miles a year on UA/LH/EK. Writes part-time on long-haul connections from the road-warrior side.
Aditya has been a corporate IT consultant for a Bangalore-based services firm for twelve years and logs over two hundred thousand miles a year doing it, mostly on Lufthansa, United, and Emirates, mostly on connections from BLR to North America via Frankfurt, Newark, or San Francisco. He writes as a hobby that has now become a small parallel career.
He writes for airport.flights as a paid freelance contributor, one piece a month focused on long-haul connections from South Asia, the math of frequent-flyer programmes used at consultant volume, and the routing decisions that experienced corporate travellers make without thinking. His beat is the road-warrior view of global connectivity, with a strong preference for honesty about what the cheap option really costs.
He lives in Indiranagar, flies BLR almost weekly, and maintains the contrarian position that Lufthansa Senator is still the best return on volume in the alliance ecosystem, even after the recent miles devaluation that everyone is upset about.
