Guys...........here is a hot tip for saving a minimum of 50 to 150 rs for rescheduling a ticket booked on air deccan. (generally they charge 200 rupees for rescheduling.)
I had to recently reschedule one of my trip on air deccan from chennai to bangalore. I had bought 500 (721/- including taxes and transaction fee) rupee ticket for 4th jan but I had to prepone the trip for 2nd jan. so I visitied their website for rescheduling and entered the details. it said 200 rupees as rescheduling fees. I was not very happy to unnecessarily spend 200 bucks for it. out of curiosity I tried cancelling the ticket and rebook it on 2nd jan, which was available for 779rs (1000/- including etc). so to my surprise by cancelling the 500 rupee ticket they charged me only 50 bucks. and I booked the ticket as I wanted on 2nd jan. so I saved or earned 150 bucks by cancelling and rebooking the ticket!!!
the lesson-
1) if the basic ticket price is more than 2000 rupees better reschedule it.
2) if the ticket price is less than 2000 rupees , cancel the ticket and rebook it as per your requirement . u can save any where between 50 - 150 bucks depending on your ticket price. (note: cancellation charges- 10% of basic fare if cancelled 72 hrs prior to take off)
fine print: make sure not to tell this information especially to any air deccan officials.
