To beat the lean season, Indian budget carriers, including GoAir, IndiGo and AirAsia have come up with attractive airfares beginning July to September. For airlines, June to mid-October is the lean season as schools open after summer break.
After GoAir , which has announced a monsoon bonanza with ticket prices as low as Rs 849, IndiGo Airlines are now offering ticket fares starting at Rs 1,106 (all inclusive). Customers can get the ticket booked to travel between July 1 and September 30th. Earlier, IndiGo had launched promotional fares starting at Rs 789, all inclusive.
IndiGo website showed that as part of the new Rs 1,106 offer, a one way ticket from Jammu to Srinagar will cost Rs 1,106, while Delhi to Mumbai Rs 2,749.
“Airlines offer discount schemes during the lean season—ie., June to September. This is the time when travel domestically and internationally is a bit slow and in order to encourage leisure travellers to go on a short vacation, airlines offer such fares. The discount range from 15 to 20 per cent. However, there is also a catch here, the discount is on the basic fare and that at times could be low. Finally, the discounts do get sold out early so it is advisable to book early, John Nair, Head, Business Travel, Cox & Kings Ltd said.
