Many people are talking about an issue with flight prices in India. A user on social media pointed out that a ticket on Indigo Airlines from Delhi to Kannur in Kerala costs about ₹22,000. Dr. Shama Mohamed, who is part of the Congress party, shared a photo showing this expensive ticket on X, saying that it’s cheaper to fly from India to Dubai than to travel within India.
Dr. Mohamed criticized the rising cost of tickets, mentioning that flying within the country is getting too expensive. She wrote, “Ticket pricing of Indigo from Delhi to Kannur on the 22nd is ₹22,000! It’s cheaper to go to Dubai! This is the problem with having only a few companies managing flights.”
Her post got a lot of attention. Some people agreed, saying that flights are now more costly than ever and hard to afford for most people. Others argued that flying to a less popular place like Kannur right before Christmas would naturally be more expensive because many people want to travel during that time.
One user named Swathi said, “When you book a flight last minute to a small place like Kannur during the Christmas holidays, the price will be high.” Another user pointed out that when Air India was run by the government, flights were cheaper and allowed for more luggage.
Many people feel that since the COVID-19 pandemic, flying has become much more expensive. The high demand for flights, along with fewer available seats, has caused ticket prices to increase sharply. Some users mentioned that ticket prices in India change a lot, especially during holidays, long weekends, and busy travel times.
