This review is only forthe air ticket auctions on the Indiatimes website. I have written anotherdetailed review for the other electronics auctions.
I have won/bought over 20 tickets this way and the service is really cool, yourget the tickets as e-tickets, only for Air-Sahara do you have to go to Saharaoffices, which is OK considering that the prices are real cool..
In fact indiatimes is the first website to have launched air ticket auctions; howeverwith the proliferation of the low cost airlines, indiatimes seems to have lostthe edge. Buy the tickets only if you are not getting the cheaper alternativeotherwise.
Another problem with thetickets won in auctions is that they do not entitle you to frequent fliermiles, so if you are a frequent flier member in Sahara or Kingfisher, no pointsfor flying
Cancellation may be a big problem with the auctions, since there is no clearpolicy for refunds, so it is a good idea only to bid for tickets where you arevery sure of traveling.
