New Delhi: Delhi-based low-cost carrier SpiceJet is not shying away from offering sales. On Wednesday, the low cost carrier announced a three-day sale for its flights from seven western Indian cities for travel period between June 10 and August 10.
SpiceJet has been in the eye of the storm of late with the civil aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation asking the airline to stop its Re 1 scheme offered recently after it found the discount to be 'predatory'. The carrier has already offered five different discount windows from the beginning of the year. Last week, the carrier had a similar offer for Southern Indian cities, but very few cities were connected under the offer.
Wednesday's offer gives customers a chance to book one-way tickets to 30 destinations from Mumbai for an all inclusive price of Rs 2,249. For example, a Mumbai-Delhi one-way flight is available for Rs 2,699 as against a normal price of Rs 4,895. Similarly, a Mumbai-Kochi flight is available for Rs 2,249 all inclusive.
The discount also covers Ahmedabad, Aurangabad, Goa, Indore, Mumbai, Pune and Surat. The cheapest one-way fares are available from Surat, Indore, Pune and Goa.
However, the inventory of tickets available for discount was not mentioned by the airline, a preliminary check on its website reveals that few seats are available under the discounts with most being on weekdays. Also, the discounts are only for the flights departing from the seven Western Indian cities, so passengers won't be able to avail of the discount on the return flight unless the travel is within the Western region.
