No-frills carrier SpiceJet
today put ten lakh seats on the block with base fares starting as low as
Rs 999, which are lower than a 3-AC train ticket, for a one-way journey
under a limited period offer. The bookings for the three-day mega sale
offer started today for travel between January 6 and October 24, 2015,
according to SpiceJet website. "10,00,000 seats are up for grab at
fares starting at Rs 999. SpiceJet mega sale is here," the airline said.
The scheme, which offers fares lower than a 3-AC train ticket comes on
the day when Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda presented NDA
government's maiden rail budget in Parliament. However, all other
statutory taxes would be applicable and the fares vary from sector to
sector depending on the travel distance, according to the website.
SpiceJet is offering low/heavily discounted fares since January this
year when it slashed ticket prices by almost half. This is the third
such sale by SpiceJet in less than a month. "It's bonanza time for
Indian travellers as SpiceJet has again announced a promotional sale
offering fares starting as low as Rs. 999 for 10 lakh seats to
destinations across India," travel portal MakeMyTrip co-founder and
chief executive Rajesh Magow commented. With the fares getting cheaper
than railway fares, MakemyTrip expects travellers to upgrade the
transport-leg of their holiday to flight instead of rail or road. "The
new sale announced by SpiceJet today at Rs 999 plus taxes across sectors
for travel between January and October 2015, is aimed at incentivising
advance bookings and should have the positive effect of stimulating the
air passenger market in the forthcoming year," Yatra.com president
Sharat Dhall said. Dhall said he expects other airlines to follow the
suit as there is already a huge surge in bookings, he added.
