World Cup Final: Ahmedabad Fight Tickets Soar To Rs 40,000 Ahead Of IND vs Aus Clash

As India charges triumphantly into the Cricket World Cup 2023 finals, the spotlight shifts to Sunday, November 19, 2023, when India faces Australia at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad—now the largest in the country, hosting 1.32 lakh spectators.

The excitement isn’t confined to the cricket ground; airlines are ramping up additional flights over the weekend to and from Ahmedabad, causing ticket prices to soar.

This unexpected surge, deemed a ‘double dhamaka’ post-Diwali holidays, has turned the tables for an industry anticipating record numbers.

Ahmedabad is set for a flight frenzy starting Saturday, November 18th, with over half of the typical Saturday flights from Mumbai not selling.

Airlines are cleverly routing flights through other cities like Bengaluru or Delhi, creating a unique travel pattern.

• From Delhi to Ahmedabad, flight fares range from Rs 14,000 to Rs 39,000, while Mumbai to Ahmedabad sees prices ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 32,000.
• Bengaluru is no exception, with fares between Rs 26,999 to Rs 33,000, as per various booking portals.
• Even flights from Kolkata to Ahmedabad on November 18th are tagged at Rs 40,000, reflecting the escalating demand.
• Nearby Vadodara, just a two-hour road trip from Ahmedabad, is witnessing a surge in flight prices from Mumbai and Delhi due to the high demand.
• Recognizing the frenzy, airlines are stepping up efforts. Vistara is adding extra flights between Delhi and Ahmedabad on November 18th and 20th, catering to the match’s traffic.

IndiGo and Vistara have special flights between Mumbai and Ahmedabad for the two days, and IndiGo is expanding routes to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

With high fares, limited seats, and unprecedented demand, airlines are catching on. For passengers still scrambling for tickets and facing the added challenge of scarce hotel rooms, there’s a glimmer of hope—expect additional flights on Sunday morning to aid those with match tickets but no accommodation.
