Air India is running a sale but surprisingly they have got their pricing ulta…<\/p>\n

Business class is cheaper than Premium economy, Premium Economy is cheaper than Economy on certain routes!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Above image shared by Gopinath Prabhu in response to my below reel where I spotted Premium Economy being cheaper than Economy.<\/p>\n

These were from BLR to MRU (Mauritius) for sometime in March 2025. You can try your luck for other destinations and dates.<\/p>\n

Why this happens?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Possible reason 1:<\/p>\n

Economy sub class is sold out- like Air India pricing manager would have set something like<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Economy first 20 seats 15000 INR, next 20 seats 20000 INR, next 20 seats 28000 INR &<\/li>\n
  • Premium Economy: First 2 seats 16000, Next 4 seats 22000, remaining seats 35000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Now cheapest economy seats are sold out, triggering next slab while premium economy seats are not yet taken.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Possible reason 1: Human Error<\/p>\n

    Let me know what you think<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
