Airlines are offering a Diwali bonanza to travelers in the form of sharp cuts in flight ticket prices, a sign that demand for plane seats in the festive season is weak.
Typically, flight fares in the fortnight leading up to Diwali and in the quarter to 10 January are among the highest in the year, helping airlines make up for losses in the lean seasons.
This year is different. One-way economy flight tickets from Delhi to Mumbai are now going for Rs2,000, all-inclusive. These used to be about Rs5,000- 8,000 in the fortnight before Diwali, which this year falls on 19 October.
Essentially, there are more seats chasing fewer passengers and fares have dropped almost 40-50%. Online travel agent MakeMyTrip now also displays tags next to these fares saying the flight ticket is cheaper than a Rajdhani train fare.
