Festivals around the world are a time of going back home and being with family. With most people living away from home these days, holidays during festivals like Diwali and Onam are the only way to meet family and friends back home. However, this year, air travel in India might cost you more than you would like.
Airfares are rising for the festival season, with average one-way ticket prices on major domestic routes increasing by 10-15 per cent for Diwali and by 20-25 per cent for some flights to Kerala cities for Onam, according to a recent analysis.
