Social media was awash with posts criticising the domestic airlines for hiking fares, limiting the options for those looking to reach, or leave, the southern metro. A user on Twitter shared a screen shot from a travel portal that allegedly showed Jet Airways charging ₹80,000 for a Bengaluru-Delhi flight on December 9.
On Facebook, an irate flier, alleged that he was overcharged for, what another domestic airline claimed was the only seat that was left on a flight from Bengaluru. But he posted pictures of empty seats in the flight.
