The special fare is valid for ticketing from today till April 30 this year.

The airline has also extended the special fares for its first and business class passengers flying from the four metros to various African cities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi and Lagos, among others. The offer, which is to remain valid till September 30 this year, also allows a passenger a stop over in London in both the directions.

There is also a special offer for economy-class passengers travelling from Delhi or Mumbai to London through Singapore or Bangkok. The special fare is to remain on offer till June 30 and will allow a passenger a stop over in Bangkok or Hong Kong. A passenger utilising the offer can fly from Delhi or Mumbai to either Hong Kong or Bangkok before reaching London and can fly directly back to India.

Similarly, an economy-class passenger travelling from either Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Bangalore to either Sydney or Melbourne in Australia can also look forward to travelling with the British flag carrier. A passenger taking up the offer would travel with Indian Airlines to either Singapore or Bangkok before catching an onwards BA flight.
