From extra flights to cheap fares, airlines have attractive offers for the holiday season.
This summer, airlines are going all out to woo travellers. From extra flights and cheap fares to zero per cent loans, the industry is doing all it can to get more people to wing their way to their holiday destination.
If you are thinking of booking a flight to Delhi but are not sure whether you will get a ticket due to the summer rush, worry not. Air India (AI) has started extra night flights from May 15. “Flight IC 624 from Delhi will leave at 11pm and arrive at Mumbai at 1.20am (the next day). Similarly IC 623 from Mumbai shall leave for Delhi at 11pm. The airline is offering an all-inclusive one-way economy class fare of Rs5,330 on these night flights,” said a statement issued by the airline.
Sectors such as Kolkata, Bangalore, Patna and Chennai will also have extra flights for the convenience of passengers. Air India is also starting a direct flight between Chennai and Coimbatore four times a week from May 17. The flight will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Travellers who cannot afford to buy air tickets can now try the card option with Jet Airways. The airline has tied-up with the State Bank of India (SBI) to offer zero per cent loans on the purchase of air tickets. “Under this offer, SBI Credit Cardholders can choose to convert their ticket purchases on jetairways.com into a zero per cent EMI with a six-month tenure,” says the Jet spokesperson.
In case you want to travel abroad and want to book tickets online without getting into the hassle of dealing with foreign currency, international low-cost-carrier AirAsia has made it easier for you.
The airline has launched a new and improved multi-currency online sales platform that enables users to get instant pricing in the currency of their choice.
Says AirAsia Group CEO Dato’ Sri Dr Tony Fernandes: “The enhanced online sales platform will take away the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuation, making ticket purchase more convenient, straightforward and transparent. We want no nasty surprises for our guests when they receive their credit card statements at the end of the month.”
