The air tickets of other cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Surat, and others have also increased.
One of the biggest reasons for the spikes in airfare is the unavailability of train tickets. The waiting lists for trains are very high and even Tatkal tickets are not available.
Meanwhile, Northern Railway has decided to run 32 additional mail and express trains bound for Patna, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Jay Nagar, Kishanganj, Katihar, Barauni (Begusarai) to provide some relief to the passengers.
