Lower airfares: NRIs fly home now!

Non-resident Indians flying to India for the Christmas and New Year holidays enjoy cheaper airfares and more flights than in previous years. By and large, more airlines are offering more flights and more seats at lower fares even during this peak season.
Upgrading some Indian airports like Amritsar and Pune, among others, to handle foreign airlines has reduced the travel time for NRIs to reach their towns and villages. On arrival at the Delhi airport, the NRIs had to take a bus or a train to reach the nearest town to their village in Punjab and then take a taxi. Now they land directly in Amritsar and reach home in a matter of hours by taxi.
Here is a check-list of air carriers operating on routes within India: Air Deccan, Air India, Air Sahara, GoAir Airlines, Indian, IndiGo Airline, Jagson Airline, Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airline, Paramount Airways, SpiceJet and more.
