What a joke! And you can't blame the airlines ...
by Aravind Nair on Sep 09, 2004 08:03 AM

Comparison:

Flying distance from B'lore to Pune: approx 700 Kms. The cheapest one-way fare is Rs.2,345 as given in the article, so two-way can be taken as Rs.4,690.

Flying distance from S'pore to Phuket (Thailand): 959 Kms. You can book a TWO-way ticket 7 days in advance for just SGD88 (Rs.2,300 approx.). And that is not on a budget airline but on a regular airline.

From today's news in S'pore - a budget airline is offering one-way ticket from S'pore to Bangkok (1,425 Kms) for just S$0.59 (Rs.15 !!!)

Remember - Thailand is a developing country like India

We may have won Independence in 1947, but we as a people have not won economic FREEDOM from the "ruling class" of whatever hue and shade.
