Hi All,

Please utilize this offer started 1 to 3 April.. Check spicejet WEBSITE

Signalling yet another fare war, low cost carrier SpiceJet on Tuesday announced a three-day-only sale for domestic flights with fares starting at Re 1 (statutory taxes and fees extra) from July 1.

"The sale will be applicable only on direct flights of SpiceJet's new domestic network. Tickets can be booked via SpiceJet website (www.spicejet.com), and through travel portals and travel agents," the airline said in a statement.

In addition to the Re 1 offer, discounted fares are also available for Rs 799 and Rs 1,499, and at other attractive rates (statutory taxes and fees not inclusive), depending on specific flight and date of travel. The limited seats offer is available for bookings made in the period April 1 to April 3, 2014 only.

We have been at the forefront in the Indian market in stimulating demand by offering discounted fares. These offers have served as a catalyst for travel for many potential flyers willing to plan and book early," said SpiceJet CCO Kaneswaran Avili.

"These fares will allow families to plan their vacations and weekend trips at fares lower than train fares with joy and freedom, now that the pressure of March school exams is finally over. But they need to move fast as seats are limited," he added.

SpiceJet COO Sanjiv Kapoor said: "Our market stimulation efforts have had a significant positive impact on the entire travel ecosystem at a time when the economy has slowed. We are now happy to start the new financial year and summer schedule with such an attractive offer. We have received overwhelming response to our previous offers and I am confident this sale too will attract many new flyers."
