Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 8:55 pm Post subject: 9W EWR BOM loaded for booking... |
|
|
Was checking out Orbitz.com and saw 9W's EWR FLight..
I decided what the fares are going to be from AUG-15 to SEP-15 on AI and 9W... The difference between the two is $357 and now if you have a connecting flight i don’t know how 9W will succeed? And there are other airlines offering a lower fare than 9W.. Until 9W’s fare come down, I don’t think they will make any dent to AI’s traffic…

I doubt very much that the fare difference between AI and 9W on Orbitz will prevail with ethnic consolidators. |

AI is about right from talking to couple of travel agents...
If you look at makemytrip AI=1195 and this is a major Consolidator no? And they're charging 26$ more than Orbitz... |

on cheap tickets.com
August 15-Sept 26 on Jet Airways is
$1276---not much more than AI's
and also I agree that the ethnic consolidators will have a lot better deals adn the travel agents in india will also!
good luck to JET AIRWAYS _________________ -Vikram |

oops sorry if u book on 1800cheapseats then Jet airways for 15 Aug to 26 Sept) is 1279$ USD. other sites are more expensive i guess.
try www.kayak.com they find the lowest fare adn direct you to that website.
This probably won't have registered with teh travel agenrts yet at a discounted rate but im not sure.
Also is this a DAILY BOM-BRU-EWR and reurn flight? _________________ -Vikram |

That’s the only site where the fare is considerably low, but when you look at AI on that site AI is 149$ cheaper and I’m betting the aunties will take AI...
Me I’ll take 9W but for others that $149 can be spent elsewhere...
That said, It will be really interesting to see how the fares play out on this sector... |

This sector (BOM-NYC) will certainly get very competitive/cut throat in a little while, what with non-stops (from DL/AI/CO) and 100s of 1-stop services and many 2 stop services as well!
Good luck to 9W in launching this flight.. |

So if Jet Airways is going to stick to its 1-stop strategy they might as well develop BRU rather than start flights from "A city in India" to "different city in Europe" to North America.
So now BOM-BRU-EWR
plans for DEL-BRU-YYZ
and I think they should also time flights to pass thru BRU to these destinations:
BLR-BRU-ORD
HYD-BRU-IAD (or another us city)
then anyone can interchange in BRU:
EWR,YYZ,ORD,IAD --> BOM,DEL,BLR,HYD and they cover all the bases and avoid the BOM ordeal (at least until the new MIAL is friendly for intl to domestic and VV transfers)
I think the Brussels India bilateral mou limits to 21 weekly flights! from India _________________ -Vikram |

to bad Jet can't start its EWR flight before 15 August 2007 b/c if they started in mid-June or even July they could cash in on the summer holidays (in the US) peak travel time from May-Sept. But nowadays flights to India are busy regardless of season. _________________ -Vikram |

July is Peek travel time and as I said in the thread started unless 9W matches its fare with AI I doubt it can succeed and you have to consider the endless connections offered to BOM, I can only hope for the best for Jet. |
