Flight prices hike for upcoming Diwali weekend: check latest prices

Diwali festival weekend is just around the corner, plans for the holidays are up for many. After two years’ hiatus, festivals this year are being celebrated on a large scale. With restrictions lifted in the country, tourism has also surged with many planning quick holidays with family and friends during Diwali. Flight prices hike for upcoming Diwali weekend: check latest prices.

For a five days trip, a quick detour is possible to many places by flights. However, flight rates on some routes may burn a hole in your pocket. The ticket fares from 21-24 October in the country have increased multifold. The civil aviation ministry in August this year removed the limits imposed on domestic airfares after a span of approximately 27 months.

With this, airlines are free to decide what to charge passengers post 31 August. Keeping in view the strong demand for air travel, domestic air traffic crossed the pre-covid level on 9 October with airports handling 402,697 passengers and 2,732 flight departures. However, the analysts are also expecting the demand to further go up on the backdrop of festival season and holidays during October-December.
