With domestic airline flights now operating, Paytm Travel said it has seen a surge in demand for air tickets.
“Since the bookings opened up, there has been over 85 lakh searches for flight tickets with a surge in demand happening over the weekend. The searches hit a peak of 1.77 lakh requests per hour during the last three days”, it said in a statement on Monday.
A large part of the tickets being sold are of travellers going from Metros to Tier-II and smaller cities, it further said, adding that sectors such as such as Delhi-Patna, Mumbai-Varanasi, Bengaluru-Guwahati are witnessing unusually high demand as compared to typical busy routes like Delhi-Mumbai and Bangalore-Delhi.
