Can’t get confirmed train tickets? Now, pay a little extra and fly -SpiceJet-IRCTC Tie Up

 

Passengers on the waiting list who don’t get confirmed train tickets can now upgrade to air travel by paying a little extra.

Ajay Singh-promoted budget carrier SpiceJet has tied up with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation(IRCTC), wherein the airline will offer extremely “competitive fares” to passengers whose train tickets remain unconfirmed.
“Passengers on the waiting list with no confirmation can upgrade to an airline seat if they are ready to pay a little extra,” Singh told HT.
The upgrade charges, Singh said, would depend on the route and travel season. “The ticket prices will depend on the season and the routes on which we fly to. So, if it’s a weak travel season, we will charge less for the upgrade,” he added.
Singh said the larger objective behind the SpiceJet-IRCTC agreement was that passenger should enjoy the convenience and means to travel from one place to the other. “We have already started this and in times to come, this arrangement would grow further,” he added.
