Tigerair just launched a new route to the Indian city of Lucknow, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Why should you care? Because it’s actually a great, highly cultural small-city often overlooked by international travellers.
If you like the old colonial and Mughal buildings of Delhi, Lucknow offers a distilled version of all that with just a little bit less chaos. There are many historical buildings and mosques, including the Bara Imambara, which is a shrine for Muslims built in the 18th century, and the nearby Asifi Masjid, which was designed by famous architect Kifayat-ullah.
Flights take off three times a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on board an Airbus A320. One-way fares start at $149, including taxes. Singaporeans require a visa to travel to India. You can find out more from the High Commission of India.
