New Delhi: Leading private carrier Jet Airways Monday announced special fares starting from 
1,722 on 30-day advance purchases, which according to the company is as low as the railway AC two-tier tickets.
"Air travellers who purchase tickets in the domestic sector 30 days in advance would now enjoy low fares, starting from 2,071 for Jet Airways, and 1,722 for JetLite," the company said in a statement.
