How To Benefit From The Competition In Domestic Flights - By: Govindan

The recent war of low flight charges has left the passengers with the best worth for their money. Of late you might have observed that the flight charges have gone down considerably thus providing opportunity for many first time flyers to have a feel of the air travel. The passengers are overwhelmed at this amazing opportunity.

Not many might have dreamed to travel in flight a couple of years ago when the flight charges were sky rocking and tickets to Chennai from Mumbai might have cost around Rs.7,000.00 to Rs.8,000.00. This scenarios has changed drastically and the prices fallen very sharply following the recession. An amazing situation prevailed in the aviation industry with the insertion of low cost air fares by many new airlines operators. This led many airlines to revise their air fare and offer air tickets at almost half a price.

Many of the domestic flights operators are running in huge loss and are not able to cover even the operation charges of the flight. The passengers are not complaining though. They’re actually happy that the tight competition in the industry has left them with many reasons to smile. The following are some the benefits you can avail in this situation.

Low air fare:

Many of the airlines are offering very low fares which are quite surprising for many. Some of the airlines who’re offering such fares are Go Air, Indigo, Spice Jet, Jet Lite and Jet Airways Konnect. The margin between these operators is very little but still you can save a lot by choosing any of these airlines.

The main idea of these flight operators is to fill the seats fully and not to fly with empty seats. Therefore to fill them they would offer tickets at much lesser prices to attract the middle class passengers. For example they would sell the tickets to Chennai from Bangalore for as less as Rs.500.00 which would have cost Rs.2,000.00 in the normal circumstances.

So by selling the ticket they would at least cover the operation cost of the particular seat and wouldn’t incur loss. In contrast the passenger is very happy to fly at Rs.500.00 (excluding fuel surcharge and taxes).

Amazing discounts and offers:

Many operators of domestic flights are offering huge discounts and special offers to the passengers. The airlines are offering amazing discount if you book your ticket 14 days in advance. You can save as much as 50-60% on base fare by doing so. If you book your return ticket 14 days in advance you can save an additional Rs.1000.00 to Rs.1500.00 on the base fare.

This would account for almost 20-30% of your total flight charges. Some of the airlines and travel portals are even offering 5% cash back and book one ticket and get one ticket free offers.

So you can save lot of money every time you fly by booking your tickets intelligently. Don’t let this opportunity go begging and enjoy the benefits before its too late.
