Mumbai: Does it happen to you too that all your friends and colleagues book their air tickets for good and reasonable prices, but when it’s your turn you end up burning a big hole in your pocket? Don’t worry you are not the only one!
And to make things easier, here are some options you can choose from to get good deals on your flight tickets.
On the official websites of airlines:
If there is an airline that you prefer over the others, then the easiest way would be to check up on their official websites and look for the discounts they are offering during your travel period.
For example, SpiceJet is offering flights at a fare starting at Rs 2,499 (all inclusive).
Airline’s travel managing website:
Some airlines offer websites that help you manage and customise your travel packages. For example SpiceJet’s myspicetrip.com is offering up to 50% discount on business trips (including return flights and stay)
Conditional offers:
Few of the airlines offer discounts on certain conditions. Like Indigo offers some money off on the tickets if booked through their mobile apps. And if you book two way tickets along with a stay package in their listed hotels, then too you can avail some discount.
Other than that, there are conditions like yatra.com is offering right now, that you can save up to Rs 7,000 on a domestic flight booking if you pay from an SBI credit card. And if you book more than four tickets, you get Rs 500 off.
Discount Coupons:
Various online ticketing portals also offer discount coupons on air tickets, and sites like coupondunia.in is a good way to search for the best fare coupons in the same place instead of going through every website individually.
Discounts through ticketing portals:
Another way to get good deal on air tickets is by booking through one of the ticketing portals. Sometimes you get fairly reasonable deals at these websites. Like for now, goibibo.com is offering a flat Rs 800 off on all domestic flights.
Booking in advance:
And the most obvious one would be to book your tickets in at least a month advance if you are sure of your travel dates. You can get quite a good discount by booking in advance.
