Also, big holiday parties and events in Thailand and Dubai are making these places very popular right now. This high demand has pushed up flight prices from Hyderabad to favourite vacation spots like Singapore, London, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka. The airfare hikes during holidays have especially impacted these popular routes.
Prices Double And Triple For Year-End Trips
- A trip to Dubai between December 22nd to 24th now costs between INR 18,000 to INR 36,000, from the usual INR 12,000 to INR 16,000.
- Similarly, London flights have seen an even bigger jump where it normally costs INR 40,000 to INR 50,000 and is now selling for INR 1 lakh to INR 2.4 lakh in early January.
What adds to the situation is the fact that Thailand and Malaysia are letting Indians visit without visas —– which means more people are booking trips there. This mix of high demand, special holiday events, and easier travel rules in some countries is pushing prices higher and higher.
Clearly, this holiday season, flying abroad will cost much more than usual.
