Cheap Air Tickets India

Don't want to waste time and travel faster without any hassle , only thing that will come to you mind is travel by Air . But air travel is usually out of reach unless you book well in advance .I would like to share few tips and tricks that might help you to get the best bargain ,deals  and discounts for the air fare in India.

• See the trend of the air route you want to travel if its always crowded then book your air tickets as early as possible , do not wait till last minute.
• Contradictory to the above point , if the air route is mostly less crowded do not book tickets in advance and wait till last day . But has obvious risk of tickets being sold off.
• Planning for vacation with friends ? Discuss with your other friends and invite them too , more the better deal you can get from your agent.
• Check for all the bank websites for deals they offer on credit and debit cards for booking online air tickets.
• After you are done with above points , question is how do i book air ticket ? Directly Online , through agents , through online travel sites .Well the answer is simple , check all and buy the best offer .
• Step 1 : Log on to direct websites of major players like goIndigo , Kingfisher , AirIndia , Jet Airways , Spicejet and others and check for prices. 
• Step 2 : Log on to third party air tickets booking sites like MakeMyTrip , Ezeego , Yatra , Musafir and others. 
• Step 3 : Give a call to the airlines direct contact number and ask for price . 
• Step 4 : Call you local travel agent and ask for the price. 
• Then compare the prices and the deals available on all bank websites and then decide the best and cheapest option for you . 

Do let me know if these points helped you in saving money :). Similar approach can also be used to book hotels .

Please read my other post about UBER services , I have used it recently and strongly recommend Uber . Best thing about GPS based mobile app called as Uber is that if we use the promotion code nl2ov  (that o not zero) and get flat 300 rupees to be used.

Other GPS based is OLA , but it's service is still improving especially in Hyderabad , use the promotion code 2E6VDC  and get 100 rupees for the first time registration.

More details about OLA cabs

 

From the above list of cab services dot , easy , meeru , orange and taxee cabs offer online booking too . The cheapest cab from all the above cab service is the GREEN CABS just 10 rupees per km. But we must make sure we book it well in advance as all the the time they are in huge demand. usually all cab operators charge 500 or more rupees from Airport to City and this amount may vary on the timings. 

Lately cab owners have started a new gimmick , when ever they get a longer pickup they start giving you lame excuses like

1. Tyre got punctured
2. Vehicle met with an accident
3. Stuck in traffic jam
4. Driver fell ill and was admitted to hospital
5. Drivers cell phone number is not reachable
6. Cab Engine problem.

Well these all excuses which are usually made by the cab operators , be carefull with such gimmicks . If the cab driver makes such a excuse do the following:

1. Keep the cab booking number safely.
2. Get the name of the operator who answers your call.
3. Speak to the manager .
4. If the above does not work out , file a legal case against the cab agency in the consumer forum for not fullfilling the service provided.
5. Lodge a complain on toll free number 1074 from BSNL phone , only for Hyderabad.
6. The above process is not complicated , for further details please visit the consumer forum website

Note : Any of the cabs operator want to include or update the numbers leave a comment below we will get in touch with you .

And passengers wanna leave a feedback or comments or even rate the service of the cab services , they can do so using the comment feature below.

TATA claims TATA NANO to be PEOPLES CAR as it cheapest among all the existing cars . Bajaj has also launched small sized car but it is expected to slightly costlier than Tata's Nano car.Tata Motors drive to produce a cheap, no-nonsense, small car was inspired from close observation of a local market where millions often carry families of four, plus baggage on motorbikes or scooters.

This car is expected to hit the market within a span of 8 months but the point of debate are the issues that it will cause such as

1. Serious Environmental concerns
2. Traffic Congestion
3. Parking Problems
4. Increase in Accidents

Many environmentalist are opposing the launch of this car due to adverse effect on environment when everyone starts buying this car. Only way to counter is this by encouraging public transport system . Other way that economist are suggesting is to tax this car 'LIKE CRAZY' . This car is making me wonder the conditions of roads of hyderabad when it is available for sale , well that will not be only case of hyderabad infact whole of INDIA, rather may impact the whole world with advent of this trend .

Share your comments what you feel about this car and its impact on our society.
