Jet Airways has revised its cancellation charges from INR1,050 on all domestic flights to penalties ranging from INR200 to INR2,000.
According to travel agents, as per the airline’s new structure, the higher the fare, the lower will be the cancellation charge. The lowest economy fare tickets will be non-refundable. The tickets priced a little more than the cheapest would attract a cancellation charge of INR2,000; the upper economy INR1,000; and premium class tickets the lowest penalty of INR250 to INR500.
“This is how most cancellation charges are slotted broadly. There are minor variations depending on the flights passengers book,” an official of Cupid Travels was quoted as saying by the Times of India. “On the whole, the economy traveller will pay a higher cancellation charge. The cheaper tickets come with a heavy clause.”
A Jet Airways spokesperson said the charges have not been increased on an ad-hoc basis. “The charges depend on the kind of fare and flight. There is a range of penalty.”
