Pay Air Sahara Rs 2,91,635 and from September 4 you would be entitled to take as many flights as you like on its domestic and international sectors merely by paying the prevailing taxes for the next 365 days.

If on the other hand you want to enjoy the luxury of unlimited flights for 30 days then give the airline Rs 32,970, while for three months of unlimited flying a passenger has to put down Rs 80,910.

Unveiling the fly unlimited offer, the airline President, Mr Alok Sharma, said that booking for the scheme would start from Thursday. The airline has an extensive network connecting stations not only in India but also operates regular flights to Nepal and Singapore.

The airline had recently announced that it would be launching 66 new flights connecting 14 new destinations within the country and abroad in the next four months.

Etihad loyalty reward

Meanwhile, the Abu-Dhabi based Etihad Airways also unveiled its new loyalty concept offering immediate rewards to the passenger.

"The programme launched by us eradicates the concept of black out periods and flight redemption restrictions. Besides, it offers a choice of payment with the flyer having the option of either paying through the miles that have been accumulated or by paying cash. In addition, a flyer can start redeeming the miles immediately," said the airline's Area Manager, India and Nepal, Mr R. Dougie Douglas.

The airline currently operates regular flights to Delhi and Mumbai and is keen to expand to other cities including Bangalore, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram among others.
