AirAsia offers two million cheap tickets to South East Asian cities

NEW DELHI: In the backdrop of its India entry, Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia has opened bookings for two million seats between April 2 and 7, 2013 offering air tickets as cheap as Rs 3,300 to South East Asian destinations for travel next year. 

One can fly from Kolkata to Bangkok for all-in-fare of Rs 3,300, Chennai to Bangkok for Rs 3,500, Bangalore to Kuala Lumpur for Rs 5,500 , Kolkata to Kuala Lumpur for Rs 5000, Kochi or Chennai to Kuala Lumpur for Rs 4500 and from Tiruchirapalli to Kuala Lumpur for Rs 4000, a statement by the budget carrier on Monday said. 

"We are the only airline in the region to constantly keep our fares low and offer free seats campaigns in such a scale. It has now become an anticipated global virtual event and we will continue to stay true to our promise of 'Now Everyone Can Fly'," Siegtraund Teh, Group Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia said. 

"Free seats to domestic Malaysia destinations such as Penang, Alor Setar, Johor Bahru, Kota Bahru, Terengganu and more are also available from Kuala Lumpur . Only taxes and fees apply to these free seats, which will be available from INR 0 one way," the statement added. 

These tickets can be booked for a travel period of January 1-April 30, 2014, which, according to AirAsia officials is in line with the airline's standard practise of encouraging advance bookings. 

"This is a standard promotion offer all over the world for all routes and nothing to do with India entry as we may enter even before January next," a company official said, declining to be named. 

The official also said that their offer was different from the one recently offered by Tiger Airways. 

In March, Singapore-based Tiger Airways opened a promotional offer for tickets to Singapore from Chennai, Kochi, Bangalore, Hyderabad Thiruvananthapuram and Tiruchirapalli at $50 (Rs 2700) for travel between May 1st and December 15th. The tickets will be on offer until March 13. 

The scheme, which offered 10 seats on each flight, was one to celebrate five years of its Indian operations. 

In an earlier story, ET had reported that AirAsia's standard practise is to open seat bookings a few months in advance at a nominal price, going up to ten times that sum near the flight day. 

The idea is to stimulate the market with low fares till a certain percentage of seats are filled and then go to the highest levels. This is standard AirAsia practise across its network in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Japan arms, which would be later replicated in India. 

AirAsia flies 186 routes, covering 85 destinations throughout 18 countries.

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'. This loss can be adjusted against in the same year against other heads of income in your income tax return including salary. Therefore, it reduces your total taxable income and the tax you pay thereon. A...
