Tourists looking to holiday in Goa for Christmas and New Year season could finally find a silver lining due to the demonetization move.
Flight prices to Goa that shoot up uncontrollably during the year-end have been reined in this year, seemingly through the curbed spending power caused by demonetization and also the central government policies imposing controls on the aviation sector.
Goa is also not hosting the two electronic dance music festivals, Sunburn and Supersonic, this year. This could have also affected the demand for tickets to the state.
Though flight tickets to Goa from the metros are still relatively high, the rates have not touched the usual hair-raising levels.
Flight prices on routes like Delhi to Goa or Kolkata to Goa, touched even 18,000 to 20,000 last year during the season. This year a flight ticket from Delhi to Goa is priced at 7,842 on Christmas eve and 9,748 on New Year's Eve. The fares from Kolkata are similar.
The airfare from Mumbai to Goa will cost around 5,000 on December 24 and December 30. In case of Bengaluru, this cost hovers around Rs 3,000, keeping the ticket costs afforable on both these sectors.
