Generally, flights from India to the US cost a fortune and one has to plan way ahead of their schedule. However, a post is gaining attention online which shows a ticket from Washington to Mumbai priced at a mere Rs 19,000. Yes, you read it right.

Commonly, the price for a ticket from Washington to Mumbai costs between Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000, with a connecting flight. But an account on the social media site X called @phalgun_g, shared an image of a Washington to Mumbai flight ticket offer, according to which it only cost Rs 19,000 for the route.

The image shows several economy-class flight tickets priced at unbelievably low range, by many travel companies.

It was shared with the tweet, “Washington to Mumbai flight for 19k INR, how is this possible??? Went until payment page. Includes regular 2 check-in baggage too!” as the original poster expressed their astonishment.

Netizens reacted to the image in the replies. A user questioned with disbelief, “Are you serious?” Another user wrote, “Crazy! Just confirmed myself, on 17 April 18k, Saudia Airlines.” A third user said, “Perhaps because hardly anyone can arrange for a visa within such a short span.” The tweet has gone viral.
