Travel industry sources expected more airlines to join the competition shortly. AirAsia India had begun such a sale with fares at Rs 999/- earlier this week.
For no-frills SpiceJet, the all-in fares starting at Rs 899/- were available for short distance travel between sectors like Bangalore-Chennai-Kochi. While on Bangalore-Goa sector, a one-way ticket price would start at Rs 1,599/-, for the rest of India, the starting fare would be Rs 2,499/-.

Maintaining that the low fares were on offer for all its direct domestic flights, a Jet statement said the offer was not applicable on group bookings and available on first come, first serve basis.
The overall airfares for advance bookings have remained on the lower side even during the peak holiday season, which has been a welcome change for passengers, with travel portals and agents anticipating that SpiceJet's move would be followed up by other competing airlines.
In his reaction, travel portal Yatra.com president Sharat Dhall said the latest offer from SpiceJet would attract travellers to make early winter season bookings.
"We definitely anticipate other major airlines responding to the sale shortly and expect a significant increase in bookings over the next few days as travellers look to benefit from these discounted fares," he said.
The sales would encourage travel in the months of November and early December, which is a relatively leaner period in an otherwise peak season for travel, Oak said, adding that such sales enable airlines to drive purchases further out, improve forward-loads and yields by filling up seats earlier.

Govt Plans Weekly Training For All Its Employees
New Delhi: Citing importance of Knowledge-Skill and Attitude (KSA) in employees for citizen-centric governance, the government today directed all ministries to hold in-house weekly Training of their Personnel “immediately” to help them perform their work efficiently. The move comes following a direction from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has emphasised on providing regular training of government employees during a presentation made by Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
The objective of the hour-long in-house weekly training is to provide training to all employees of the ministry or department on a regular basis without dislocating their work, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said in its Office Memorandum F.NO.T-17/A/2014-CTP(CSS) dated October 17, 2014. (CLICK HERE TO SEE memo)
At present, the senior civil servants are exposed to a number of training programmes at different stages such as induction training, mandatory mid-career training, in-service training, etc.
“These trainings are mostly organised service wise and within services at same level. Perhaps there is no training being imparted at ministry or department level covering all its Group B and C employees on same subject,” the order said.
The department would be free to choose training topics as per their requirements and utilise in-house expertise for imparting training.
Following the Prime Minister’s directive, the DoPT already started in-house weekly training for its employees.
“All officials from LDC up to Under Secretaries will be nominated in batches of 45-50 and the training will be conducted every Wednesday from 10 am to 11 am.
“You or your representative can attend this training after giving prior intimation, so that your ministry or department is familiarised to start in-house training ,” said the DoPT order sent to secretaries of all central government ministries and departments.
Accordingly, all ministries or departments are requested to start hourly in-house weekly training for their employees up to Under Secretaries immediately, it said.
