Fly91 Launches Smart Ticket

Delivering greater flexibility and control over journeys with added benefits, pure-play regional airline FLY91 has launched its new fare product, the Smart Ticket. Available across all sales channels from October 1, the Smart Ticket is aimed at travellers who value peace of mind when they fly.

The nil cancellation fee will attract no penalty, offering relief to travellers who need to adjust schedules at short notice. For an additional Rs 1,991 over the standard fare, passengers can upgrade to a Smart Ticket. A Smart Ticket allows unlimited date changes without incurring a change fee, with only any fare difference payable.

Smart Ticket passengers will enjoy an extra five kg baggage allowance, bringing the total checked luggage entitlement to 20 kg. Passengers will also be entitled to priority boarding, as well as a complimentary snack and beverage during the flight. As a repeat-travel incentive, FLY91 will issue a Rs 499 voucher within 72 hours of completing a journey, redeemable against a future booking.

Explaining the rationale behind the product, FLY91’s managing director and chief executive officer, Manoj Chacko, said, “Travellers today want predictability and peace of mind as much as affordable fares. The Smart Ticket offers flexibility and tangible value additions and is built for those who value the ability to manage their travel when plans change.” Chacko added that the unique product will appeal particularly to business travellers and families, both of whom frequently face last-minute changes to itineraries.

Headquartered in Goa, FLY91 currently operates to eight destinations: Goa, Sindhudurg, Jalgaon, Solapur, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Agatti in the Lakshadweep Islands.
