Air India has seats for restricted and unrestricted fares in the same class of travel. As flight availability is dynamic in nature, the fares may differ with the discounted fares being available later. Refund cannot be processed for the difference in fare. The same applies if the fare displayed is higher that the fare that you have paid. We do not collect the fare difference if you do not change your travel date. The fare difference is collected only if the travel date is changed and the fare applicable for the rebooked dates is higher than the amount paid by you.
