If you are planning a trip to the US over this weekend, be ready to pay sky-high fares thanks to surging demand for tickets.
Travel agents say hike in fares is due to a number of reasons including Swaminarayan Mahotsav in New Jersey, vacations in the US and the beginning of new semesters in American colleges. Thousands of devotees of Swaminarayan sect are headed towards New Jersey where the biggest Akshardham temple was inaugurated on August 10.
The spike in fares is across all the airlines beginning from Rs 80,000 and going up to Rs 1 lakh for one-way trip for an economy class seat. "The rush for tickets could be seen post-Eid when the holiday period began in the US. The seats are available at higher prices till September but still people are buying as demand is increasing by the day," said Sanjeev Chajjer, vice-president, Cox & Kings.

Many students are travelling for their first semester in various US colleges, said Bhavin Shah, a tour operator.
"I had booked a return ticket a month in advance for Rs 95,000 via Doha while some of my friends who are trying to book tickets are finding it difficult to get tickets at a reasonable cost," said Anmol Jain, who is heading to Pennsylvania next week to pursue business management from Upenn College.
"There is a rise of over 50% in the number of Gujaratis travelling to the US and Canada in August in comparison to last year," said Manish Sharma, chairman, Gujarat Tour Operators' Association.
