Travel to U.S. gets cheaper

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: Singapore Airlines (SA) is making travel to U.S. cheaper for its customers in Karnataka. It recently launched a new reduced fare of Rs. 40,000 to San Francisco, which makes it an all-inclusive price of Rs. 59,850 (includes taxes and surcharges) to the U.S. destination.

A release from SA said the reduced price is a 32 per cent discount over the current lowest market economy fares from Bangalore.

This fare is valid on Singapore Airlines daylight departures from Bangalore. The service, three times a week, is on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. The morning flights offer a convenient departure from Bangalore as customers can beat the long-winding evening rush at the airport here.
