The bookings for the 11-day fare sale can be made between December 23 and January 2, and travel period begins from January 15, 2018
Jet Airways has officially announced the start of the new year's celebrations. The airline has announced its year-end sale, under which it's been offering 10 per cent discount on base fares in the economy and up to 15% on business class tickets for domestic travel.
The discount offer is applicable on 44 domestic networks, according to the airline's statement.
The airline is offering one-way economy ticket at a starting price of Rs 1,001.
"The bookings for the 11-day fare sale can be made between December 23 and January 2, and travel period begins from January 15, 2018," Jet Airways said.
Home based airline IndiGo is giving a chance to fly under Rs 1000 to domestic travellers. The airline is offering flight tickets starting at Rs 999 on selected routes.
IndiGo is offering flight tickets between Delhi and Jaipur at an all-inclusive fare of Rs 999. It's official website, goindigo.in. showed that other routes like Bagdogra to Guwahati are also available at a mere price of Rs 1,005.
The website showed that fares were seen at Rs 1,095 from Coimbatore to Chennai; Rs 1,112 from Jammu to Srinagar, and Rs 1,120 on those hailing out of Chennai to Bengaluru.
It is also to be noted that many airlines operating in India offer good discounts around the New Year holiday season to attract passengers.
Meanwhile, domestic air travellers have an another reason to cheer as Airlines will now not charge you a heavy fee of Rs 3,000 for cancelling domestic tickets. The decision came after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) asked the carriers to provide data on cancellation charges.
According to the rules, the cancellation charges should not exceed the base fare and fuel surcharge.
According to a report in the Times of India, cancellation of domestic air tickets will no longer be a flat Rs 3,000. Indian airlines said that their cancellation charges will be Rs 3,000 or base fare plus fuel surcharge per passenger, whichever is lower.
Earlier, the Narendra Modi government has asked airline to rollback the cancellation fee of Rs 3,000. It said it will soon speak to airlines on the issue and ask them to charge the reasonable amount.
"We believe cancellation charges are on the high side and onerous for passengers. The Rs 3,000 fee is in many cases more than the price of the ticket itself. Our UDAN (subsidised regional flying) scheme has capped fares at Rs 2,500 per hour of flying. These cancellation charges need to be brought back into balance," aviation minister Jayant Sinha said.
The aviation minister has ordered a review of the massive amount charged by airlines. The move came after the latest hike in cancellation charges effected by some airlines on domestic travel.
