[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or anyone who’s planning on taking an international trip, ixigo, India’s leading travel search marketplace recommends booking flights from tier 2 cities such as Jaipur, Lucknow, Amritsar, Kochi, etc. By doing so travellers are likely to save upto 41% on their air tickets. With low-cost airlines such as Scoot, AirAsia, Tigerair, Thai Smile, Air Arabia and Air India Express starting operations from tier 2 cities, more and more people are opting to fly out of tese cities to fit their international trips in smaller budgets.
Here is a comparison of flight fares for international destinations from tier 1 and corresponding tier 2 cities:
Commenting on the latest trends, Aloke Bajpai, CEO & Cofounder, ixigo, said – “We found that the difference in international airfares from tier 1 & 2 cities is drastic enough to urge travellers to modify their travel plans and fly out of these cities. If planned in time, at an average one can save around 41% on flight bookings, which is much more than the cost that one would have to bear to travel to these tier 2 cities to take their flight. For instance, if you live in Delhi and are planning to travel to Singapore, catching a flight from Jaipur will prove to be cheaper despite the cost involved in reaching there.”
It also isn’t a bad idea to take an extra day or two in hand and explore the city of origin. So if someone is taking a flight to Kuala Lumpur from Amritsar, taking an extra day in hand will allow them to explore the city before they head to their international destination. In all, this approach will prove to be beneficial for the traveller in every possible way.
