Ok. Let me burst that bubble right now.

The following table shows a breakdown of the fare for each traveller type.

                          INR 4,560.00


       [/TR]
     [TR="class: datarow grandtotal"]
   [TH="class: header first"]                     Total price including taxes               [/TH]
                    INR 4,560.00

[/TR]

So, even though the fare is only INR 100, the fees and taxes are about INR 4460.00

But it's the thought that counts. Nice gesture, Air India. Next year, make it 100 rupees flat including all taxes and fees.

Last year Indigo airlines offered sale fare of INR 1. A friend tried to book and found out about these taxes.

of course, you have to pay the charges and taxes. which sector the fare is for as shown by you? for such sectors, the fare would have been close to Rs. 10,000 or more.

show us the origin and destination as well, please. is it a round-trip fare that you have quoted? if it is then the total round trip fare would have been over Rs. 20,000.

service charges and taxes are chargeable by ALL airlines.

Toronto-Delhi-Toronto fare on British Airways is $1200 out of which $700 are taxes and service charges.

True. i pay Rs. 2500 from Bombay to Lucknow [a 2 hours and 10 minute flight]…it’s like $45…nowhere in the world you can buy that long flight for that price.

Re: Air India offering domestic fares for Rs 100 [US $1.65] on Air India Day

The difference is, most of those taxes and charges depend on the base fare. Usually some percentage of it. In India, if am not wrong, they are just some fixed numbers. But I see your point that it is still a good fare.

Re: Air India offering domestic fares for Rs 100 [US $1.65] on Air India Day

yes...thanx...

the surcharges are very smart/evil way of NOT refunding the big chunk of fare in cases of 'REFUNDABLE' fares.

airlines always want to have 'their way' and consumers are shown the 'Highway'. :(
