Are you a frequent traveler of the Indian Railways? You must be familiar with the discouragement that hit people’s mind after booking tickets in waiting list. Here is a great news coming from Indian Railway!

If you have an unconfirmed ticket for the 1^st class AC coach of Rajdhani Express, there is nothing to worry about. Air India, in collaboration with the Indian Railways, has brought in an exciting offer for you. Under the scheme, you can travel by air without having to buy a separate ticket or pay a single extra penny for the air journey.

The officials at IRCTC are in talks with their counterparts at Air India, and this scheme is about to launch, supposedly, in coming weeks. The agreement currently is in its last phase.

The passengers with unconfirmed ticket on their scheduled date of journey will be given an option to travel by an Air India flight within 24 hours. For this, no additional charges will be applicable – for the ticket owners of 1^st class ticket of Rajdhani Express, however the passengers with 2^nd AC ticket will have to pay Rs. 1500 for the upgrade.

Although it is a great move to polish the reputation of both – Indian Railways and Air India – in one go, it will be interesting to see whether the ‘Aam Janta’ accepts the scheme.

Under the new scheme, the tickets of Air India will also be available on the IRCTC ticket booking website.
