A day after announcing its ticket prices at par with AC II of Rajdhani trains, National carrier Air India today came out with another lucrative offer for its passengers allowing enhanced free check-in baggage on its jumbo 747 flights operating on the trunk Delhi-Mumbai route.
These ticket prices, as low as Rs 2,240, would be available within four hours of the scheduled departure of the flights.
As part of the pricing strategy, Air India will drop fares on four key routes--Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Chennai, Delhi-Kolkata and Delhi-Bengaluru--four hours before the departure of flights to these destinations.
State-run Air India will now fly unconfirmed passengers of Rajdhani trains at the fares matching with the AC first class ticket prices under a special scheme for a limited period
