What is the "Travel Agent Overcharging for Onward Domestic Flights" scam in Bengaluru?

Question

Accepted Answer

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. Book domestic flights directly through airline apps (IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet) or through verified platforms such as MakeMyTrip or Cleartrip. Walk-in travel agents should be a last resort and always request a full itemised receipt before paying.
