Indian Airlines - question

joepubli · Aug 14th, 2005, 18:57

Hi everyone

Does anyone know if I can get off an Indian Airlines flight at in intermediate stop. The fares structure is crazy.

For example a flight from Delhi - Ranchi is Rs 9560. However a flight from del to Patna (via Ranchi) is only £2721 as a cheap fare is available for Patna but not for Ranchi. Can I simply buy a ticket to Patna and get off at Ranchi and save myself a lot of rupees? - Obviously would need to have hand luggage only but think of the saving...!

It's possible to get off at Ranchi without having to go on - but don't forget to inform an official that you're doing so - otherwise they'll have search parties out looking for you !!....and a delay for other passengers too!

It should be ok, unless it's one of those multi-leg flights where no one actually leaves the aircraft, only joins....I would ask about that when you book the ticket - and also inform someone on the check-in desk when you arrive for the flight AND a couple of stewardesses/stewards on board....just in case.

But hell, why not do it that way - it saves some rupees don't it! Good idea!
