SpiceJet cuts airfare by 30% on domestic routes

It's a race of discount in airfares and low-cost carrier SpiceJet is leading. The carrier on Friday announced a 30 per cent discount on all domestic flight tickets booked between 31 January  and 2 February.

The offer is valid only for tickets purchased 30 days prior to travel dates up to April 15, 2014.

The super sale is not valid for international flights and is valid for travel only on the following days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the carrier said on its website.

The offer is being extended following an "overwhelming" success of the private airline's "super sale" programme announced earlier, the carrier said.

Earlier this month, the budget airline had triggered a fare war by offering discounts as high as 50 per cent on domestic travel for a limited period to beat the March quarter blues.

The airline, however, did not share data related to increase in bookings following the earlier offer.

"Under this (new) offer, all customers can get a 30 per cent discount on the already discounted 30-day advance purchase base fare and fuel surcharge for SpiceJet domestic flights for travel till April 15," the release said.

The seats under this offer are, however, limited and availability depends on specific date and flight, it added.
