Premium fare ko Flight ke aaj ke fare ke sath compare kare naa ke 3 mahine pahle ke
It doesn't make much of a difference Mishraji. I had tried to book on the Mumbai New Delhi Premium and it was showing me a fare of 6500 (abt 4/6 days prior departure) whereas a air ticket was 8000 so rather than spending 16 hrs in a train i choose to fly at an mere additional rate of 1500.
Right now the Mumbai-Delhi Air fare for 13 Oct is Air India
AI-314 Rs. 4,222 (All Incl Per Adult) (1 Seat left) only.

That's exactly the point. Unless the train fare is atleast around INR 3000 it does not really make sense to take a 16 hours train as compared to a 2 hour flight.
