People nowadays have become more and more addicted to the flights and the flight fares that it has become more or less unthinkable for them to travel without the flights. Traveling has indeed became a need of the hour and it is obvious that more specifically the Indians will be hovering over the websites of the different airlines and the different travel service providers just to look out for the cheap flight fares thus available in the aviation sector in different slots as well. The strategy of looking for cheap flight fares have become palpable since the Indian government levied an increased service tax on both domestic and international tickets. The picture in our neighboring countries seems somewhat different from what we have here, regarding the flight and the flight fares after all.
At this stage, though for information it seems rather essential to discuss one of the factors related to our neighboring country of Nepal. The kingdom of Nepal is far below the stage of development when compared with India. It is rather amazing to know that the people of Khotang district of Nepal prefer and rely on the flight fares for their traveling, since the travel by road is more costly in this hilly region. To reach Katmandu by air, it takes just half an hour and at 2200' to 2300'. By bus it takes days to reach there and double the cost. People even transport seeds and fertilizers by air, as it is faster, cheaper and at the most affordable. The grievances only gets aroused by the passengers only when there will be an ostensible prioritization of the flight fares for the traders in selling the tickets as such.
In India, the strategy adopted by the Indian government has adversely affected the aviation sector and now it seems like they are on their way to reduce the charges without affecting the set service tax by the government. This is evident from the websites of the airlines where they are offering cheap flight fares for different slots apart from the service charge. Some are even offering a discount up to 25% of the flight fares as well. It seems to be a good sign on the part of the customers and who now, will be able to avail the flight tickets, but they have to a bit patient always to get the right offers at the right time.
