With the Vishu-Ramzan festival season nearing, there is likely to be an increase in domestic travel. For those travelling between Bengaluru and Kerala, one of the busiest routes from the State, during the festive season, planning their itinerary in advance will help save money and time, especially on the Thiruvananthapuram-Bengaluru and Kochi-Bengaluru routes.
With 10 daily services in the Thiruvananthapuram-Bengaluru sector, airfare on this route is almost equal to or lower than the flexi rates of interstate stage carriers during the peak season.
Though Thiruvananthapuram-Bengaluru is the longest route aerially compared to Kochi-Bengaluru, Kannur-Bengaluru or Kozhikode-Bengaluru, the airfares are the second-cheapest after Kochi-Bengaluru. A flight ticket will cost around ₹3,000-₹3,100 in the Thiruvananthapuram-Bengaluru sector on April 4 and in the next week. On the return route, flight tickets are available for ₹2,800 to ₹3,000.
