Air Fare: Another Surcharge
It seems all airlines now started charging additional fees/charge as
'Congestion Surcharge'
of Rs.150.(eff.Dec.8th ?).
Air Deccan is throwing away 2,00,000 tickets for just Rs.2 (for travel during
Feb/March)
I tried for for 20th Feb o/w to Bombay, I was lucky to get ticket for just Rs.2
but on the
next page the final amount was showing up Rs.1, 177
i.e.
002.00 Air fare to BOM o/w
225.00 PSF (Pax Service Fees)
750.00 Fuel Surcharge
150.00 Congestion Surcharge- NEW
050.00 Transaction fee
=======
1,177.00 (Rupees One thousand seven hundred seventy seven only)
So, your ticket is just Rs.2 but taxes & fees are Rs.1,175
(Strangely, if you are lucky, same fare applies to New Delhi etc)
It also means that there are no tickets now cheaper than Rs.1,175 (assuming
one gets a Zero
air-fare offer).
Few months back, with such airlines' offers, one could travel as low as Rs.222
i.e. Re.1 +
Rs.221 as PSF or 99+221=320 or 300+221=521 or 500+221=721
