How to grab those cheap tickets on Air Deccan???

Does anyone know the secret to getting those elusive Re.1, Rs.500.... & such ultra cheap air tics ? I've tried grabbing them on the air deccan webpage without any success whatsoever. About a month ago I concluded that such tics most probably dont even exist at all, till I met a few guys who claim to hav travelled on Rs.500 tics on Air Deccan, not once but many times!! I hope they arnt bluffing!! anyone knows what the truth is?

I have managed the Rs.500 ticket a few times. You have to have the timing right. they open the booking for a certain period months in advance, and if you log on to the site regularly, you will come across such notifications. However, It is quite difficult to get a Rs.500 ticket on major routes. About the Re.1 ticket, I am yet to see someone who actually purchased it..

I guess you have to have the timing right. Most of these cheap tickets get sold out within a day or two of launch. I did manage to book tickets on the Delhi-Pune sector for travel in November for Rs. 3 last week. The total cost of the ticket was Rs. 928 (Fare Rs 3 + Fuel Surcharge and Taxes Rs. 875 + Transaction Fee Rs. 50).

I've tried booking those tickets the very same day they put out the ads without any success! I guess as BigZero says one has to frequent the site to catch those elusive tics. Please throw more light on how to get the timing right.
