Mumbai: The latest round of discounted airfare offers ended on a satisfactory note on Saturday with airlines reporting ‘overwhelming’ response from flyers.
However, there have been complaints about less number of seats available at the publicised low fares in peak hour flights and non-metro destinations, which have limited flights.
Airlines justified this, stating that it was part of their revenue management strategy. More seats at low fares were offered in flights not in demand, while a dozen-odd such seats were available in other flights.
Executives clarified that the offers were for 30, 60, 90 days apex fares and not for spot fares. Travel agency executives said ‘early birds’ (those who could book instantly) managed to benefit.
