SpiceJet to sell holiday packages

SpiceJet on Tuesday launched SpiceVacations.com to offer customised travel packages to passengers.

Air India, Jet Airways, GoAir and IndiGo sell holiday packages too and this forms a source of ancillary revenue. Ancillary revenue includes sale of food and beverages, air miles and merchandise, fees for seat selection and use of lounges, and advertising on aircraft and products.

SpiceJet said that thousands of tour packages are on offer including pilgrimage tours. SpiceVacations.com will also enable customers to hold a booking up to 48 hours upon payment of a refundable deposit.

"SpiceVacations.com has been designed as a one-stop shop offering enviable travel deals for you to pick and choose from amongst the best the industry can offer and its unique customization features adds that extra finesse to your planning exercise enabling you to experience the perfect holiday every single time." said Ajay Singh, chairperson, SpiceJet.
