Diwali airfares soaring, book your ticket now

New Delhi: For those planning to travel home for Durga Puja or Diwali, it may be wise to book tickets immediately, though last-minute cancellation can cost one about 25-40% of the fare paid. One-way air tickets on most of the major sectors have already crossed Rs 5,000, and it is mostly low-cost carriers (LCC) that are offering the most expensive tickets.
On the Delhi-Kolkata route, the most expensive fare of Rs 9,841 for a direct one-way ticket for November 10, three days before Diwali, is being offered by GoAir. The cheapest ticket on this sector is available on another LCC for Rs 5,058. The cheapest fare for Delhi-Mumbai one way is Rs 5,048 on full-service carrier Kingfisher, while SpiceJet is offering among the highest fares at Rs 8,112.
