New Delhi/Mumbai: Fly Mumbai-Goa-Mumbai on low-cost carrier Air Deccan this weekend for Rs 19,500 or Delhi-London on British Airways for Rs 16,330.
In the run-up to the year-end, domestic air fares this season are literally sky high, reflecting an unprecedented shortage in supply in select sectors. Ironically, economy fares on India’s first low-cost carrier Air Deccan are currently higher than those charged by full-service carriers like Jet Airways and Indian Airlines.
While through the year you could travel Mumbai-Goa-Mumbai for around Rs 5,000 on a low-cost carrier, Jet Airways is currently offering the sector for Rs 12,205, Kingfisher Airlines has priced it slightly lower at Rs 10,300. And executive class travel on Indian Airlines on the route would cost Rs 14,440.
Other low-cost carriers aren’t far behind. On SpiceJet, a return ticket on the route would set you back by Rs 10,848, and on GoAir by Rs 6,450.
