Flying is horribly expensive now

June 06, 2012 13:37

With the Air India pilots' strike entering the 30th day and a large part of the Kingfisher fleet grounded, rival airlines are having a field day at the expense of passengers.

If you are planning to fly to Mumbai from Delhi on Thursday, you will have to fork out Rs 24,357 for a one way ticket and R 48,700 for return on a full fare airline. Fares of even low cost carriers are touching stratospheric levels. For instance, an Indigo ticket from Delhi to Mumbai and back on Thursday will leave you poorer by Rs 16,998.
