Amid soaring holiday flight prices, travellers are using the skiplagging hack to save money by booking layover flights with their desired destination in-between

Skiplagging is here to help you save money while booking flight tickets; here's how it works

Amid soaring holiday flight prices, travellers are using the skiplagging hack to save money by booking layover flights with their desired destination in-between

As the holiday season is around the corner, people are booking flight tickets. Amid this, ticket prices are skyrocketing. However, there is a hack which is helping people to save money and is also getting them to their destination.&nbsp;
Well, the hack is skiplagging and all you need to do is pick the layover flight which has your destination as the in-between spot. For example- if you want to travel from Dehradun to Delhi but the ticket prices are high, then the traveller can search for a different destination such as Mumbai and just have to see that the flight has Delhi as a layover.&nbsp;
After reaching Delhi, the layover point, the traveller can leave the airport without taking the flight to the third destination.&nbsp;
Accounts shared by travellers hailing from different corners of the globe, as documented in various media sources, have brought to light a cost-effective technique known as skiplagging. However, it's important to note that this approach can potentially lead to unfavourable consequences.

The average spot airfares on routes mainly operated by Go First has declined by up to 33%. While,  the drop in fares on the Delhi-Leh and Delhi-Ahmedabad routes were in the range of 26%-28%, fares on Mumbai-Delhi route increased 29% 

Average airfare declines by up to 60% after government intervention: Civil Aviation Minister

The average spot airfares on routes mainly operated by Go First has declined by up to 33%. While,&nbsp; the drop in fares on the Delhi-Leh and Delhi-Ahmedabad routes were in the range of 26%-28%, fares on Mumbai-Delhi route increased 29%&nbsp;

The overall average airfares on ten domestic routes, including Delhi-Srinagar, are on the decline, and the trend is likely to continue in the coming weeks also, according to an analysis based on data compiled by aviation regulator DGCA.
In recent weeks, there has been a surge in airfares on certain routes, mainly due to a capacity crunch and suspension of operations by crisis-hit Go First.
Against this backdrop, concerns have been expressed in various quarters, and the civil aviation ministry on June 6 asked airlines to devise a mechanism to ensure reasonable pricing of air tickets.
An analysis of airfares based on a select week-on-week comparison for a period till July 13 showed that the average ticket prices are on the decline. As per the analysis, the average spot airfare on nine routes where Go First operated declined by 33% as compared to the previous week.&nbsp;
The data has been compiled by the tariff monitoring unit of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The ten routes are Delhi-Srinagar, Srinagar-Delhi, Delhi-Leh, Leh-Delhi, Mumbai-Delhi, Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Pune, Pune-Delhi, Ahmedabad-Delhi and Delhi-Ahmedabad.
Sources at the ministry said the overall average airfares are on the decline in these routes, except that on the Mumbai-Delhi route. The average spot fare on the Leh-Delhi route that was booked on Tuesday (travel on Wednesday) was Rs 14,133. This was a 33% decline. Similarly, on Delhi-Leh and Delhi-Ahmedabad routes, the drop in fares was in the range of 26%-28%. Meanwhile, fares on Mumbai-Delhi route increased 29%.
The surge in airfares has been mainly witnessed on routes that were operated by Go First, which has not flown since May 3.
On June 5, during a meeting chaired by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, airline representatives were asked to self-regulate fares, and also put in place a mechanism to ensure reasonable pricing of air tickets. Airfares are deregulated in India.
A ministry official on Tuesday said there are no plans for regulating the fares and that introducing fare caps on various routes will lead to market distortion.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Scindia said fares have been reduced by up to 60% and are likely to decline further on certain routes that had seen an increase in fares.
He also said DGCA is closely monitoring the situation.
"This is no ordinary situation for civil aviation. After two years of ZERO flights taking off due to COVID-19, the sector, globally is now faced with tough supply chain challenges (also the primary reason for grounding of Go First fleet).
"And so, airlines are unable to induct aircraft immediately. However, we had foreseen the issue long back, and had pro-actively liberalised the wet lease policy," Scindia had said on Monday.
Wet lease policy refers to the leasing of aircraft by airlines wherein crew, among others, are provided by the lessors concerned. It is usually done as a short-term measure to address capacity constraints.
