website - I have used makemytrip.com a few years ago and it was quite efficient. I remember how quickly they called me back as soon as I clicked "call me" in their website to get some clarification! The price of tickets was about 3 or 5% higher than those advertised elsewhere but I didn't mind it, given the convenience and security of knowing this site was affiliated with some big outfit (which I don't remember anymore!)

While in Bangalore - Belur Helibed is a must see. If time permits visit Mysore and Brindavan gardens.

and PLEASE TASTE THE VARIETY of South Indian delicacies. Many westerners are used to naan bread, tikka masala and 'curries' but they are missing out on the subtle and light fare that characterize South Indian dishes. Try small glasses of various "rasams". Apart from the various Dosas and Iddlies, try the idiappams too. In Bangalore apart from Karnataka cuisine, you will also find Kerala and Tamilian cuisines.

If you must eat meat, find a Chettinad cusine restaurant.

Most well dressed Bangalorean will speak and understand English.
Please speak slowly - meaning each word should have a distinct end instead of the syllable robbed fastspeak !
