The increase in the price of plane tickets and the promise of returning rates
The increase in the price of plane tickets is sometimes done by denying the authorities and sometimes by promising to return the rates. But those whose lives and jobs depend on air travel say that there is a significant distance between the promise and the action.

“There is no end to denying the realities of society, especially the high prices of all kinds of goods and services and increasing inflation by the authorities. This government has left the final stone and in lying and concealing the facts, it has stolen the lead from all post-revolutionary governments. “The 100% increase in plane ticket prices is one of the most obvious facts that officials easily deny these days, but people feel it with all their heart.” A doctor who is forced to travel between different cities and Tehran due to his work and life situation, referring to this article, adds: “It seems that the government men have no control over any part of the society and the half-life train of the country’s economy is falling at the speed of light and They also stood watching and surrendered.”
“Arash” is extremely angry with what he calls the projection and denial of the facts by the statesmen. He says: “After the spread of the corona virus and the decrease in the volume of travel, especially air travel, until October last month, I used to buy Tabriz-Tehran or Mashhad-Tehran flight tickets for 250-350 thousand tomans, but now the one-time price is 500-600 thousand. Tomans has increased and reaches up to one million Tomans.
He cited the increase in the dollar rate and the requirement to observe social distancing in flights and use 60% of the capacity of the planes to transport passengers as the excuse announced by the airlines and added: “The pricing of domestic flights is not subject to the dollar rate.”
This citizen continues: “If you are looking to buy a plane ticket in the next two or three months, you can enter the origin, destination and date with a simple search in the online market of airline agencies and find out the ticket price.” It has been one or two years that airline agencies have provided this possibility to their passengers, but since September of this year, when I visited the website of every agency I visited to buy Aban tickets, there was no information about Aban rates, and the last date when ticket rates were announced was 30th of October. . When I discussed the issue with one of my friends who works in this field, he replied that the reason is that the airlines are looking to increase ticket rates and are waiting for the right opportunity.
