Indians struggling to take off for Kerala
I would like to have your kind attention on the subject of fares charged by different airlines to the Indian destination of Kerala.
This is a common menace and be aware that they are charging a whopping Dhs2,000 for a single way.
Due to this, a lot of families are suffering - unable to take a vacation with their family members. If there are four members, we cannot even think of the budget for this summer vacation.

In Kerala we have three airports and everywhere the rate is almost same. As an ardent reader of 7DAYS, I would like to have it discussed.

“Unni.... as people mentioned in their comments... it is simple economics! and there is nothing to be discussed.
As for the comments... @ in Dubai too long...." most people coming from your part of the world as mentioned above bring in their whole clan here from grandparents to grand children" ...??? really? I sense a bit of stereo typing or even a bit of racism there! Not all people from the south bring their whole family down....and even if they do...I am sure they would have taken the cost of bringing them down here into account. I am sure they do not need some 7 days reader with snap judgment to tell them whether or not they should have their family down here!”

“it's not just simple economics it's also a lot of logic to find ways to live within one's means.. if your moaning about the airfare being high... guess what, don't have your family live with you then.”

“The latest comments / replies on this post are deteriorating and heading nowhere... not sure what some are trying to prove with remarks out of tone and place.”

“already complaining about 2000dhs ticket price? try going to south east asia or america or europ or uk...
as everyone commented, supply and demand; basic economics;
most people coming from your part of the world as mentioned above bring in their whole clan here from grandparents to grand children...should have thought of the costs first (i.e. plane ticket for going back) before bringing them over...
planning makes a big difference...”

“If the prices are consistently high, this means that the flights are generally full of people willing to pay the fares. Why would a private company reduce the fares if it didn't have to? Simple economics my friend.”

“HMMM!! What a bad luck. No wonder the traffic these days is still not reduced. Atlas people woke up. Mr. Unni, Welcome to the real world. I hail from the south of India and have you tried inquiring with some other flights? Have you tried travelling from sharjah through some other flights? Let us know. Happy Stay in Dubai!
