The government has asked the airlines to reduce the number of flights to mumbai airport, and this has caused great hardship to travelers.
While there are usually multiple flights to metro and larger cities, for smaller cities there is only one direct flight to Mumbai
The airline has cancelled the direct flight to smaller cities.
Usually the direct flight from Hubli in north karnataka would cost Rs 4000-6000 now there is an indirect flight which is costing Rs 18000-22000
Those who paying using credit card find their credit card limit is reached if they purchase the airline ticket
Train travel to Mumbai is taking 17 hours which is a very long time.
People travel to smaller cities because their relatives are senior citizens, who may have health problems, yet this massive air ticket price hike has forced them to postpone or cancel their plans to go back to mumbai, since coming back will also be very expensive.
