After commercial gas cylinders, air travel has also become expensive. Before Dussehra and Diwali, airline companies have increased air fares. The prices of tickets on many domestic routes have crossed 20 to 30 thousand. In such a situation, if you want to travel by air, you may have to loosen your pocket. At the same time, some airline companies are also giving many offers to attract people.
People have made advance bookings
This year Dussehra will be celebrated on October 12. On the other hand, Diwali festival is between October 31 and November 2. In such a situation, people go to their homes in large numbers during the festive season, which affects the air fares. Many months before Dussehra and Diwali, people try to book tickets in large numbers. They expect cheap air tickets, but even after the discount offers of the companies, the air fares are skyrocketing. There is a huge increase in the number of flight advance bookings during the festive season
