\nOn Thursday, return airfares on routes like Mumbai-Cochin for travel in April-May were available for Rs 4,500, while a Mumbai-Delhi return was priced at Rs 5,000. Return tickets on low supply-high demand flights like non-stops from Mumbai to Dehradun began at Rs 9,000.

\n\u201cWith major airlines like IndiGo, SpiceJet and Vistara running heavy sales, this is a good time for travellers to avail the best prices for their upcoming trips,\u201d said Aloke Bajpai, CEO of ixigo. \u201cVaccine rollout and cheap fares will lead to a substantial rise in demand to travel by summer this year, making this the ideal time to plan trips in advance.\u201d
