Jaipur News Desk: It is normal for airlines to increase air fares during all festivals including Diwali, Holi, but this time there is a houseful situation in flights as well as in trains. There are flights in some cities which are full. Contrary to DGCA’s claims of fare control, airlines are charging arbitrary fares.
This is because going to any city from Jaipur is cheap, but coming back is expensive. According to the information received from Jaipur Airport, the fare from Mumbai to Jaipur is being charged up to Rs 17 thousand. Whereas the fare from Bengaluru to Jaipur has crossed Rs 20 thousand. The fare to reach Jaipur on Roop Chaturdashi is three times more expensive than on normal days.
