Validity: currently valid and supposedly a limited period offer
Description: In addition to the Jet Airways offer (already posted here), Cleartrip is offering Kingfisher bookings for select segments at a base fare as low as Rs. 525.
The highest base fare under this scheme (which is subject to change) is Rs. 1075. There are many segments where you can get tickets at a base fare of Rs. 550, Rs. 675, Rs. 700, Rs. 775, Rs. 950, etc. Check the latest base fare available under this scheme here.
I think, Kingfisher bookings at a base fare in the range of Rs. 500 to Rs. 1075 is good enough to be considered for your travel bookings. Just check if the flights available under this scheme fit into your travel plan or not. You may like to check both the offers - Jet Airways bookings starting at Rs. 500 and this Kingfisher offer, before getting your air ticket bookings done. Almost all the domestic segments are covered under this scheme, so it's highly likely that you can find at least one flight of your choice under this scheme.
