Delhi-Kolkata Flight Prices Rise Ahead of Festivals Amid Demand and Fuel Costs
Domestic airfares between Delhi and Kolkata fluctuate due to demand, seat availability, travel dates, and festive seasons like Durga Puja and Diwali. Prices often rise sharply ahead of major holidays, with some tickets more than doubling in cost on popular routes. Experts attribute increases to higher fuel prices, limited capacity, and seasonal demand. Travelers are advised to monitor fares weeks in advance using alerts and flexible scheduling to secure better prices amid these fluctuations.
