Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Cheap Flights to Amritsar from reliable, scheduled airlines such as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Air India and Jet Airways. Turkmenistan is an airlines which is the market leader with over 6 flights a week from the UK to Amritsar but you can't book it on the internet - hence why we set up Amritsar Travel.
What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?
Keeping up with all the enquiries! We are getting a lot of enquiries and we have automated it as much as possible but people still want to talk to some one for re-assurance
