The most popular destinations\u00a0seem to be Guwahati, Nagpur, Chennai, Imphal, Pune and Bhubaneshwar.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this being the peak travel season, the dip in airfares can be due to the following reasons-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intense competition among airlines,<\/li>\n<li>Increased capacity on airplanes<\/li>\n<li>The ongoing discounts offered by airlines and online travel websites.<\/li>\n<li>Oil prices remaining stable, which will keep the input costs lower for airlines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Goomo, a renowned travel operator, is offering 20% discount on early-bird tickets and you can look forward to better\u00a0discounts if you plan to travel mid-May.<\/p>\n<p>With two long weekends coupled with summer vacations, airlines will look to tap into the holiday travel demand by offering such discounts.
