This is good news for passengers like me who were waiting for the Airline fares to to cut down once again after all the companies has unanimously agreed on hiking the taxes.

If you want to fly around in India, this is the time. Despite the steep losses they are suffering, domestic airlines are continuing to offer cheap tickets, almost at throwaway prices.

With the lean season for air travel getting under way post-New Year, all airlines are busy announcing offers to lure passengers to travel during this period, which will go on till March-end.

The Wadia group promoted GoAir has already announced a flat fare of Rs.1,075 on the Delhi-Jaipur-Delhi sector as part of its new pricing strategy.

"The airline is offering tickets at a flat fare of Rs.1,075, including all taxes and surcharges, for passengers flying this sector," GoAir managing director Jeh Wadia said.

Not far behind is Deccan with its "fly more to fly free" offer. According to Deccan's officiating CEO Ramki Sundaram, passengers flying by Deccan six times are entitled to a free one-way ticket, and passengers flying 10 times will receive two free one-way tickets for any of its 63 destinations.

"Deccan's new look and value additions have received an overwhelming response from Indian travellers. The 'fly more to fly free offer' will provide our frequent fliers one more reason to choose Deccan," said Sundaram.

The offer is valid for bookings and travel from Jan 15 to March 31.

Apart from the budget airlines, even full service carriers like Jet Airways and Air India have joined the bandwagon to exploit the lean season business.
