Air India No Meals Ticket: Good news for air passengers! Travel can become cheaper with No Meals ticket, know what is the new plan?

Air India No Meals Ticket: The country’s largest airline Air India is considering starting a new facility for domestic passengers. Under this proposal, passengers can get the option to choose while booking tickets whether they want to avail the benefit of in-flight meals or not. Passengers who do not wish to avail meal service can be provided tickets at relatively lower fares. The company believes that this will benefit those people who only want to travel at low cost and do not feel the need for food during the flight.

How will the ‘No Meals’ category work?

As per the recent plan, passengers may see a separate ‘No Meals’ option at the time of ticket booking. Passengers choosing this category will not get the facility of food or snacks in the plane, but in return they can get some relief in the ticket price. Air India already offers various fare categories and this new category is being created keeping in mind those passengers who want to travel at a lower cost.

Trial may be done on selected routes first

The airline can start this facility on a limited scale instead of implementing it in all domestic flights simultaneously. In the initial phase, it is likely to be implemented on some small domestic routes on a trial basis. The company will take a decision on expanding this service only after assessing the response and demand of passengers.

If there is positive response from passengers, the ‘No Meals’ option can be extended to more routes. At the same time, in case of not getting the expected response, it can be kept within a limited scope or can even be closed.

There will be no change in international flights at present

At present this proposal is considered to be limited to domestic flights only. There are no plans to implement any such system in international services. At present Air India provides food and snacks facilities to the passengers in both its domestic and international flights. In such a situation, if this new scheme is implemented, it can become a new option for saving fares for domestic passengers.

What will be the benefit to the passengers?

Amidst the increasing competition in the airline industry, this step is considered necessary to provide more options to the passengers. Those who do not prefer food on short haul flights will be able to take advantage of the lower fares. At the same time, passengers wanting food facilities will be able to choose regular ticket class as before.
