Congrats ! I did have a hunch that you must have travelled which is why I asked. Please rest but do let us know after that on how you achieved this feat.
Well, it was a roller coaster ride, I booked the flights at 7:30 pm and within 3 hours I was at the airport with all my luggage packed.
What I learnt from this experience is that it only takes a minute to ask for things, it is, however, possible that you will be turned down but then there can be an upside as well.
I will suggest the following points:
Book flights of single airlines
Have your documents ready in one hand (it brings confidence in the checker)
No matter what questions they ask you, you answer what you are prepared to speak (Take RAGA interview with Arnab Goswami on women empowerment). Obviously change the context.
Look innocent and smile (LOL, this worked very well)
We got stuck at multiple checkpoints but eventually, we made it happen.
