COPR and coronavirus

Someone mentioned it was 2 lakhs

Someone I know paid about 1.4

 

[going2CA]

I’m hoping to be able to book something after Jill 15.
How’re you doing otherwise?

Few people here have booked tickets under Vande Bharat mission

I'm not sure why Air India is charging such high fees when many other international carriers are charging less than 1 lakh

When are you flying? Sorry if I’ve asked you before, don’t remember

Hardeep Singh Puri, Indian Union Civil Aviation Minister: "We are confident that in [July] we will start taking decisions on the resumption of international flights. I do not want to put a timeline here, all stakeholders & travellers need to be taken into confidence". LINK

Read the statement carefully and don't jump to conclusions.

How’re you doing bro?? Long time! What’re your plans?

So one of my neighbour has tested positive today for covid-19. The health officials have sealed off my whole apartment building. I will be under house arrest for next 14 days.

Relieved I didn't book any ticket

I'm great brother. How you doing in these tough times? You safe?

My city has gone under intense lockdown again!! People just don't seem to listen to the government anymore

For now I have planned to travel in August. What are your plans?

I'm staying now in Canada during the COVID pandemic. My visa has expired 2 months ago but Canadian government allows me to stay 3 months more. I'm very thankful for it because I can still work and earn some money during this pandemic. And be careful, take disinfectants with you because at the beginning of pandemic was difficult to find hand sanitizer for sale and I ordered online from https://arcreef.com/ and the quality is very good. Actually, all expensive sanitizers are good.

M good bro ... How about you ?? Same here planning to book something after July 15th hoping that the travel bubble thing is set in motion so that we don't have to pay such exhorbitant prices ...

 

[going2CA]

I know! Full exploitation

I'm not sure why Air India is charging such high fees when many other international carriers are charging less than 1 lakh

 

[going2CA]

As per the tweet of Hardeep Singh puri and few news articles it is said that AI tickets are fairly priced as comapred to other airlines. Furthermore they have to fly empty planes over long distances and then cost of maintenance and everything hence the prices.
I have seen Lufthansa charge 90k for mumbai to Toronto back in mid June.

I don't know why AI would price it so expensive.

Just saw the news that Maharashtra has gone back into lockdown I hope that doesn’t impact travel

Yeah they have extended the lockdown but the relaxation which were laid down on 31st May and 4th June are still in place as per the news. Let's hope we can travel by mid August atleast

Yes I have already quit my job and living with my parents. Grateful and lucky to have a roof to sleep under and food to eat during this lockdown. I was suppose to leave in April if not for the travel ban. It is definitely frustrating with this unexpected wait. All other countries seem to have allowed international travel except India and they're also charging exuberant rates in their VBM flights
