Flight fares have become expensive for Deepawali-Chhath, the fight has already begun

Booking of tickets for Deepawali and Chhath festival has started from June this year. There is no relief in air fares for passengers coming to Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore by air.

More than four months are still left for Deepawali and Chhath Mahaparva, but already air tickets are being booked at high rates. Passengers coming from Darbhanga Airport on the occasion of Deepawali and Chhath Mahaparva are surprised to see the increase in fares four months ago. This time Deepawali festival will be celebrated on 21st October. Even before that, air fares are skyrocketing. Let us tell you, three airline companies are currently providing service at Darbhanga Airport.

Competition between airlines is also not beneficial

Due to competition between companies, passengers had hoped that fares would decrease for the festival, but it does not seem so. Despite the long distance between Diwali and Chhath Mahaparva, there has been a rush for tickets. This situation is especially prevalent among the passengers traveling by air between Darbhanga and Mumbai. People who have jobs, employment, business in other states away from home wait for these festivals for a long time. People want to celebrate Diwali and Chhath at home with their family. But in the excitement of the festival, their pockets get loose.

Booking for Diwali and Chhath started from June

Last year, passengers returning from Mumbai to Darbhanga in the month of October on Diwali and Chhath Mahaparva were spending 14 to 15 thousand rupees on a ticket. At that time, only SpiceJet company had flight service on this air route. This time the services of three airlines are available. This time the flight services of SpiceJet, Aakash and Indigo Airlines are available. Even after this, there is a jump in fares. This time, booking of tickets for Deepawali and Chhath Mahaparva has started from June. There is no relief in air fares for passengers coming to Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru by air.

Flight fares are sky high right now

A passenger returning from Mumbai to Darbhanga is getting a ticket from SpiceJet for 11 to 13 thousand rupees on air travel between 18 to 21 October. On the same route, a ticket is available in Indigo flight for Rs 13,778. A passenger has to pay 17,232 rupees on buying a ticket in Akash Airlines.
