Flight fares, along with travel dates, are the most important factors to consider while booking a flight. And why are we stating super-obvious information? Because we’ve got a top-secret tip for you! 🙂
You might be aware of something known as ‘fare cap’ on domestic flights. Introduced in 2020, a fare cap means that the price of a flight has to be within a certain range, depending on its duration. This range is decided by the Civil Aviation Ministry, and flights cannot cost more or less than the decided range.
Book flights with coupon code DEAL and get up to Rs.3000 off:
Book FlightsNow, as per media reports, the Civil Aviation Ministry has declared that the upper and lower limits on airfare will now only be applicable for 15 days a month, as opposed to the earlier rules, under which the limits were applicable for 30 days.
This essentially means that airlines can decide the airfare post the 15-day mark, and therefore, travellers booking their tickets at least 15 days in advance can get significantly lower fares.
For example, if the current date is 22nd September, then the fare band shall be applicable till 6th October. Any bookings done on 22nd September for travel on or after 7th October shall not be controlled by fare bands.
And, if you want to lower the airfares even further, then use the coupon code SAVE when you book flights 15 days in advance, to get flat Rs.400 off per passenger:
