Client Co may want me to go to Bangalore for a couple of weeks to look at some stuff. I don't mind going, but would like the panel's expert opinion on how much extra wedge to ask for if they're wanting me to leave my Playstation 3 for a fortnight.

Is there a company policy on expenses? If so, I personally would accept the experience of India, claim expenses as per the company policy and keep the same rate.
Will you be working weekends? If so, more money. If not, get on out and about and experience India from Friday afternoon to Monday morning!Comment

Also - Don't drive... And, if you get a driver, avoid being on the roads out of rush hour. Accidents in rush hour are comical due to low speeds. Once out of rush hour, risk of death a lot greater!Comment

Go for +25% on daily rate to compensate for being away from home, full 5* expenses (hotel, driver everywhere, club class flights) and £50 a day spends. You don't have to pay yourself that, but it's a nice earner for the company."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

What a sad attitude to have. A few years ago I was sent to investigate outsourcing options in Bangalore. Had a whale of a time and was pleasantly impressed. If you go to one of the campus parks, their offices are likely to be better than yours here.
Of course you should charge 'em extraHard Brexit now!
