|
|
I was surpised to find that IC is offering a fare of Rs. 600 + Rs. 975 (tax + fuel surcharge) on one of their BLR-BOM flights. The timings are :
BLR-BOM : IC110 : 1130-1250
Is this a new flight ? Are they putting bigger equipment (more seats) on particularly this flight ? But return is not so cheap. Could just be a demand-creating exercise (being an odd hour flight)
Also, it was a pleasant surprise that IC does not charge any congestion fee from it's passengers. Do they have the right of way being a Govt Airline at the croded BOM, DEL and BLR airports ?
Every time I flew IC into BOM or DEL, the hovering time seemed to be limited. Don't know if this was a co-incidence or really do IC flights get priority by ATC ? |

Fellow A-India.Netters, sorry for this goof-up. |

1500 is pretty good for a flight on a full service airline! |

IA is dramatically dropping fares on its South routes.
Minister Praful Patel specifically "warned" IA not to impose this congestion charge while he "requested" the private airlines to reconsider this fee!! |

That was Rs. 18700 for 3 adults + 1 infant for BLR-BOM return. About Rs. 2337 per head/sector. |
