Due to urgent matters had to book airline tickets to Kolkatta. Actually were planning to go today, but were shocked to see the return fare totalling to Rs. 32000/- per person. In the end booked tickets for Monday, which is like only 3 days away, wherein we had to shell out the same amount for two people!!!!
The reason was simple….Durga Pooja and Kolkatta….the airlines have jacked up the prices seeing that its festive season. Infact while we got Mumbai-Kolkatta for reasonable price, the Kokatta Mumbai flight we thought was unreasonable. Again the reason was same…since Monday the festivities get over, there will be many people who are travelling back to Mumbai and so the prices are up.
Really made me think….these airlines always come out with catch lines like they care for the passengers…etc…etc…but when they see an opportunity to earn….they jack up the prices……….
