After the Chhath festival ended, people who had traveled home for the celebrations are now returning to their workplaces.
This rush has caused a sharp rise in flight ticket prices. Train seats are also full, making it difficult for travelers to find an easy way to reach their destinations.
Fares Spike Until November 3
According to reports, airfares from Patna to major cities have increased several times compared to normal days. As of November 3, prices on most routes have more than doubled.
Patna to Delhi: Over ₹9,000
Patna to Mumbai: Around ₹13,000
Current Ticket Prices
Flight fares on several other routes have also skyrocketed:
Patna to Bengaluru: Over ₹11,000
Patna to Chandigarh: Over ₹14,000
Patna to Pune: Over ₹15,000
Patna to Ahmedabad: Over ₹10,000
No Relief Expected Soon
Airlines have stated that the surge in prices is mainly due to high passenger demand after the Chhath festival. There is little chance of fares decreasing in the next few days.
Plan Ahead and Book Early
Travelers are advised to book their tickets well in advance to avoid paying excessively high prices. Early booking can help secure better deals and reduce travel stress.
