This comes to Rs. fifty thousand to and fro from Delhi to London and back.

Similarly , the one way fare from Mumbai to Prayagraj is Rs.56000 whereas the fare from Mumbai to London is merely Rs. 38,331.
This huge difference in air ticket fares between flights to Prayagraj and London from Delhi and Mumbai and vice versa clearly means that while the civil aviation ministry led by brilliant and enthusiastic minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is more worried to earn profits than thinking of the convenience of those interested to avail flights to Prayagraj , Mahakumbh when the entire ruling political dispensation of the centre and Uttar Pradesh is busy claiming tall appreciation for all the so called good work done by it.
