Comment (by rtnpro):

 Hi,

 Here is an update of my travel details. I have searched high and low and
 found the following the best in terms of price and travel time.

 '''Arrival'''

     May 17, 2012, 12:40-13:55, Guwahati (GAU) to Kolkata (CCU), IndiGo
 6E208[[BR]]

     May 17, 2012, 17:35-00:10, Kolkata (CCU) to Kuala Lumpur(KUL), Air
 Asia AK1242


 '''Departure'''

     May 22, 2012, 15:35-19:25, KUL to CCU, Air Asia AK1241[[BR]]

     May 23, 2012, 10:50-12:10, CCU to GAU, Indigo 6E207[[BR]]


 There are no economic options for return on May 21, 2012, but on May 22,
 2012. I will be reaching at our place of stay after midnight of May 17,
 2012. I hope to that there is no communication difficulty from the airport
 to our place of stay. So, I will be needing accommodation for for 5 nights
 (17, 18, 19, 20, 21 of May, 2012).

 '''Booking schema:'''[[BR]]

     '''Round trip CCU<->KUL''', Arrival: 17 May, 2012, Departure: 22 May,
 2012 from airasia.com[[BR]]

     Promo offer: 92.09 * 2 = 184.18 USD [[BR]]

     Regular price: 124.64 * 2 = 249.28 USD[[BR]]

     as viewed on March 14, 2012

     '''Round trip, GAU<->CCU''', Arrival: 17 May, 2012, Departure: 23 May,
 2012 from http://www.skyscanner.co.in/flights/gau/ccu/120517/120523
 /airfares-from-gawahati-to-kolkata-in-may-2012.html [[BR]]

     Price: 94 USD as viewed on March 14, 2012

 '''Updated Information:'''
 * Updated travel expenditure estimates:[[BR]]

    Hotel: as arranged by organizers or an approx amount of 200 USD[[BR]]

    Flight: 184.18 USD + 249.28 USD = 433.46 USD[[BR]]

    Visa: 25 USD

 * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?[[BR]]
    As already mentioned, it takes around 15-20 days. It'd be very helpful
 for the Visa application to have an invitation letter from FUDCON
 organizers or Fedora.

 However, it seems that there is great rush for airasia.com offers. I am
 uncertain how long there will be seats available in the above rates or
 seat available at all.

 Thanks,[[BR]]
 Regards,[[BR]]
