Air India launched a short-term 'Monsoon Bonanza' scheme under which tickets on 40 select domestic sectors can be bought till Saturday for travel till September 30.
A spokesperson for the national carrier said the scheme covers 108 flights, including select domestic legs of international flights. The tickets under the scheme are priced at a flat rate of Rs 1,499 plus applicable taxes.
The discounted fares start at Rs 1,389 for a one-way ticket, the airline said in a letter to travel agents, adding these fares were available only on direct flights on IndiGo's network.
While the airline was silent about by when a passenger has to book a ticket to get these low fares, it said only a limited number of seats were being offered under the scheme and travel has to be between July one and September 30.

The actual fare would be more as a flyer would also have to pay for passenger service fee, User Development Fee and other taxes, they said.
GoAir also started a 48-hour sale till tomorrow, offering 30-40 per cent discount, for 90-day advance booking valid for travel between July and September, they said.
This is the fourth time this year that a fare war has been initiated, particularly by the no-frill carriers.
