Mumbai: Low-cost carriers have triggered yet another fare war.This time around, it is sparked by SpiceJet, which has come out with a limited offer. GoAir and IndiGo have followed it quickly by coming out with deep discounted fares for the same period.
SpiceJet, on Monday, announced a ‘Super Summer Sale’ for customers, who can book within the next three days for travel between April 1 and June 30.
Under this offer, tickets are priced up to 75 per cent discount on base fare plus fuel surcharge as compared to last-minute bookings (that is, bookings that are made within seven days of travel).
For example, a Delhi-Goa ticket that otherwise sells for Rs.11,148 all-in for last-minute purchase, can be bought for as little as Rs.3,737 all-in under this offer. A Chennai-Delhi fare would cost Rs.3,675 as compared to Rs.11,085, a Chennai-Pune fare would cost Rs.2,028 as compared to Rs.7,261 and a Chennai-Port Blair ticket would cost Rs.3,286 as against Rs.9,570 in last minute booking.
