Following the footprints of Go Air, IndiGo and Jet Airways, the national carrier of India – Air India also joined this war 3rd April.

Air India has announced this 3-day sale of discounted air tickets as Monsoon Bonanza that will end on the 5th of April 2014. Through this scheme, Air India flight tickets are available at a flat rate of Rs.1, 499 plus taxes. This offer is valid only for limited seats which are available on first-come-first-serve basis for bookings to be made during the given period.

The travel period for the Air India tickets under this scheme will start from 3rd May and will be continue till September 30. The sale is valid for 40 domestic sectors of Air India for 108 flights, according to a declaration. These tickets can be booked from the official website of Air India (www.airindia.com), or by visiting different online travel portals like EaseMyTrip.com & online travel agents.

Providing discounted airfares is a new trend and a great strategy by flight operators to fill up their seats that might run below optimal capacity otherwise. These kinds of sales persuade travelers for doing an advance travel planning so that they can reduce their travel cost to a great extent.
