Chennai: Air fares to Mumbai, Delhi and a few other metros have dipped for travel in the coming days. Tickets are selling in the 4,500-5,500 range on the Chennai-Delhi route and 2,500-4,500 range on Mumbai route for two days advance booking. This will come in handy for people who have not planned their summer holidays in advance.
Fares are also low on the Chennai-Kolkata route where tickets are available in the 5,500-9,000 range for travel on Monday, which is cheaper by 1,000-1,500 when compared to the fare last year.
The dip in fares is attributed to increase in frequency and delay in beginning of holiday travel. Airlines have also introduced more flights on metro routes from Chennai for better connectivity to international routes anticipating high demand. However, fares on short routes like Chennai-Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai-Kochi and Chennai-Hyderabad, where the number of daily flights is not high, remain high.
Basheer Ahmed of Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) said air fares were not as high as they were in the same period last year. "Tickets were selling at 9,000 for one day advance booking to Delhi last year. This year, airlines have increased frequencies and have also introduced discounts to attract holiday travel."
