How it works
Travel agencies near MG Road and around the KSRTC Bus Station sell domestic flight tickets at prices significantly above those available directly through airline websites or apps, charging "booking fees" of 500–2,000 INR per ticket and sometimes adding undisclosed insurance or hotel packages. Walk-in tourists are particularly targeted.
