New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) National carrier Air India Wednesday extended its short-term promotion scheme till January. It will now provide unlimited journeys for 15 days instead of 10 on domestic routes.

“Passengers are happy with our effort to provide them with the most competitive prices while ensuring the best customer service,” an Air India spokesperson said.
