Chennai: You can now fly to Delhi for the cost of a Rajadhani Express ticket ( 3,000), thanks to the dip in aviation fuel prices and competition during the lean period.
Travel agents say the fare cut is mostly to draw travellers during the lean season that starts in January-end and also to lend confidence to travellers who postponed travel due to high fares triggered by disruption in Spicejet schedules last month. A dip in oil prices meanwhile will help airlines to manage rising cost.
The special fares offered by Air India, Indigo Airlines and Jet Airways have pulled down the fares for travel between mid January and April-end. The fares are now just 550- 1,000 more than a two-tier AC berth on a train on routes from Chennai to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
This is expected to be a big boost to people wanting to travel home for family visits or to getaway destinations for a short holiday.
