Over the past 19 years, MakeMyTrip has become synonymous with online travel bookings. As the <keyword id="337738" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="travel-technology">travel technology</keyword> sector continues to grow, MMT too is evolving using Artificial Intelligence and vernacular to target the next 200 million Internet users in India. Selling experiences now MMT is no more about tickets and hotel bookings alone. It wants to be an end-to-end platform, Deep Kalra, Founder Chairman, MMT, told Business Insider at a TiE Delhi NCR event. They are also selling experiences. Kalra explains that if they know you are in Goa, they can offer you experiences like yacht cruise, ziplining etc., as per your preferences. “We can sell you end to end – from research, to buying and in trip experiences. That’s how travel tech has changed,” he said. Talk to MMT and <keyword id="1705241" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="book-tickets">book tickets</keyword> Having been the frontrunner in travel tech, MMT is obviously moving on to the next big thing – Artificial Intelligence. “With AI, we have the power to learn from every experience so as to give our customers a much more nuanced and better product because the software has been learning for years. We can then proactively recommend you more things based on your likes,” said Kalra. MMT already has two chatbots, which are currently used for post-sales. But soon, you can use them to book tickets as well. “We are more than experimenting. Soon, you can chat and buy tickets. You can also talk to us in vernacular and book tickets,” said Kalra. How the sector has evolved For MMT founder Deep Kalra, it’s been a long journey which also includes a blockbuster listing in the US markets. “In the early days, no one was buying online. It was all search online and buy offline. That started to change in 2005, people started to buy rail tickets first,” said Kalra. The MMT founder has seen the world evolve from web to mobile web and then, an app. Kalra said that ticketing goes online very fast because it’s unidimensional, determined mainly by price and timing. The challenge, Kalra said, set in with selling hotel spaces and accommodation online. “It has now moved online with 20% of hotel bookings in the country being booked online,” he said.

Uncertainly over online train tickets seem to have hit a dead end. <keyword id="65866" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="IRCTC">IRCTC</keyword> has just announced that you can opt for Pay on Delivery for your <keyword id="56937" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tatkal">tatkal</keyword> train tickets just like your online shopping. IRCTC users will be able to pay for tickets via cash or a debit or credit card by opting to have tickets delivered at their doorstep. The service, which was available for general reservations up till now, will be a game changer for Tatkal bookings as it will allow users to book tickets with just two clicks. IRCTC has collaborated with <keyword id="255717" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anduril-Technologies">Anduril Technologies</keyword> Pvt Ltd for the doorstep delivery process. Anduril Technologies provides pay-on-delivery service to 4000+ pincodes across India. In case of refusal or cancellation before delivery, the customer will be liable to pay the cancellation and delivery charges., failing which may attract deactivation of user’s account and strict action as per law. IRCTC processes 130,000 Tatkal transactions daily, and a majority of these tickets are booked within minutes of Tatkal quota being opened for booking. Until now, users had to pay first via the standard online payment gateways before the IRCTC portal confirmed their ticket; a process that introduced a delay of several precious seconds and often led to users not able to book a confirmed ticket. The ‘pay on delivery’ feature completely circumvents the use of a payment gateway and will help users make the bookings in just a few seconds; greatly increasing their chance of booking a confirmed ticket under the Tatkal quota. So what’s the procedure to get tatkal tickets at doorstep? The customers need to first register with irctc.payondelivery.co.in in order to avail the ‘pay on delivery’ option. They need to tender either Adhaar or PAN details at the time of registration. While booking the ticket on IRCTC portal, the user then needs to choose the ‘pay-on-delivery’ option. The digital delivery happens instantly via SMS / Email. The collection happens within 24 Hrs of the booking The customer can also pay online through a payment link that will be sent to them at time of booking. Pay only for successful transactions The new IRCTC ‘pay on delivery’ feature eliminates the transaction failures, often the money gets debited and the ticket is not issued on account of multiple reasons. With the Pay-on-delivery option on IRCTC, users will pay only when the tickets are booked.

Google Pay MakeMyTrip flight offer: How to book flight tickets at a discount

<keyword id="7308" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Don">Don</keyword>’t think this is one of those everyday articles you can ignore as click bait. This is actually authentic. 
 
Traveling can be expensive, but knowing the secrets of the trade can make all of the difference. 
 
As the festive season in India approaches with Durga Puja, Diwali and Christmas on the queue, you have already started looking for discounts, coupons and flash sales on airline tickets. If you are a backpacker or student, it’s not wise to splurge all your savings on flight tickets and feel bank robbed when traveling. 
 Earlier we have read a lot of similar stories saying Tuesday is the cheapest or the weekends are cheap. Those were super effective for international travel and mostly in Europe and the <keyword id="6355055" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="USA">USA</keyword>. However, that didn’t work for India. When we tried booking tickets on metro route midweek, we found the tickets to be super expensive. 
 
So to make things easier for you, Business Insider consulted with Skyscanner, the meta-search engine of travel. And what we found will greatly help you plan your travel. 
 
For domestic travelers flying in the metro routes or at least originating from a metro, the earlier you book a ticket, the cheaper you get. There is no magic of any particular day of the week in India. For domestic travelers, the biggest saving of 48% can be made gained if you book a flight 51 weeks in advance. 
 
Well, that might sound absurd but to be frank, if you are willing to save money, you need to plan your travel in advance. And those big trips you make with your friends can easily be made a year in advance to save on flights. As per the new rule, all tickets are refundable and so there is no need to panic. If booked 51 weeks in advance, you can dare to choose your travel during the festive seasons as well, when the ticket prices go skyrocketing. 
 Similarly, if you plan your international trip with <keyword id="3637582" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="schenegan">Schenegan</keyword> visa, again the best time to book your flight tickets in a year in advance, as per Skyscanner. If you book a year in advance, you can save up to 62% on average ticket price. 
 
Skyscanner’s annual survey has shown that in India, if you book even 16 weeks in advance you can gain almost 29% on an average. 
 
A word of caution for the people booking on last minute- you generally end up paying 5% above average fare.

Even if you complete the sale at 12 on the dot, you're going to save just $18 on average.Larger discounts do exist, but they're more common for international flights. Nine hundred of the 3,500 global routes Hopper examined offered an average discount of $20 per ticket on Thursdays, and 600 shaved off $30 on Mondays.Thursdays are also a good bet for cheaper <a href="https://www.insider.com/is-it-safe-to-fly-in-thunderstorms-snow-windy-weather-2019-1">domestic flights</a>. Hopper found that, on average, 3,500 out of 7,500 domestic routes lowered prices by $12 that day. On Wednesdays, 3,000 US routes offered a similar discount.Plus the 2019 <a href="https://www.cheapair.com/blog/cheapair-coms-5th-annual-airfare-study-reveals-the-best-time-to-buy-airline-tickets/">CheapAir.com Annual Airfare Study</a>, which looked at 917 million airfares across over 8,000 markets and found that the day of the week you purchase your tickets "has a negligible effect on flight cost" with rates varying by about $1 within a week. <h2>MYTH: The earlier you book tickets, the more money you'll save</h2>The <a href="https://www.cheapair.com/blog/cheapair-coms-5th-annual-airfare-study-reveals-the-best-time-to-buy-airline-tickets/">same study from CheapAir.com</a> noted if you book between 203 and 315 days in advance, you'll have the most options for <keyword id="44023" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="airlines">airlines</keyword> and seats - but you'll pay an average of $50 more per ticket.According to CheapAir, the prime booking window (the time frame during which you'll save the most) is 21 to 115 days before your departure.<h2>MYTH: Some destinations are always pricey</h2>In 2018, using data from the flight search-engine Hipmunk, GoBankingRates <a href="https://www.insider.com/cheapest-places-to-travel-every-month-of-the-year-2018-1">determined the cheapest destination</a> to visit every month of the year.If you <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-its-like-flying-long-flight-in-world-business-class-2019-12">time your trip right</a> - and are open to smaller cities like Lille, France, and Comporta, Portugal - the savings can be worthwhile. For instance, if you plan to go in May, you may be able to fly to Sao Paulo for as little as $750, instead of $2,000 or more.<h2>MYTH: You have to book all legs of a long-haul trip through the same airline</h2>If you book multiple legs of an international trip separately and are open to <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/budget-airlines">budget airlines</a> such as Wow Air and Norwegian, long-haul flights can be more wallet-friendly.According to the <a href="https://thriftynomads.com/booking-cheapest-flight-possible-anywhere/">budget travel blog Thrifty Nomads</a>, Kiwi.com (which also calculates affordable train and bus options) is one of the best resources for mixing and matching long-haul routes.Likewise, booking separately can save you money on domestic flights.<div type="image" title="airplane in air" height="2308" width="4094" msid="83847644" hostid="261"></div><h2>MYTH: If you and your friends are booking seats on the same flight, you should purchase your tickets in one transaction</h2>In other scenarios, like when a grocery store is running a two-for-one sale, buying in bulk will save you money. But airlines sometimes charge more per ticket if you book seats for multiple passengers.Due to booking algorithms, there can be up to <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/air-travel/get-cheapest-airfares-when-booking-flights-for-several-people/">10 different prices</a> for the same seat on a domestic flight.To avoid paying more than necessary for multiple tickets, Consumer Reports recommended splitting your ticket purchase among members of your party or finding airlines that take group reservations, which works for parties of 10 or more people.<h2>MYTH: Layovers are a nuisance ― and should be avoided at all costs</h2>Flights with layovers are known to be cheaper than direct routes. Layovers also offer another benefit called "hidden city ticketing."In a 2018 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/find-cheaper-flights-through-hidden-city-ticketing-2018-1">interview with Insider</a>, Scott Keyes, CEO and cofounder of <a href="https://scottscheapflights.com/">Scott's Cheap Flights</a>, explained the concept with the following example: If you want to <keyword id="6354692" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Travel">travel</keyword> between two major cities, such as Chicago and New York, you could book a flight from Chicago to Burlington, Vermont, that stops in New York, and skip the connecting flight. Although the practice is legal, there are a few caveats to keep in mind."It is 100% legal, but it is against the airline's contract of carriage, meaning that they don't like it when passengers do this," Keyes said. "If the airline knows that you are doing it, then they <a href="https://www.insider.com/surprising-secrets-about-flying-2018-7">might not let you on that plane</a>, or they can kick you off."If you want to take your chances with hidden city ticketing, he advises not purchasing a round-trip ticket and only bringing carry-on luggage.<div type="image" title="eating airport" height="4024" width="6048" msid="83847662" hostid="261"></div><h2>MYTH: Your browsing history doesn't matter when it comes to buying tickets</h2>Thanks to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/dynamic-fare-pricing-airline-ticket-personalisation/">dynamic pricing</a>, ticket prices can <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/travel-experts-discuss-dynamic-pricing-and-how-industry-is-beginning-to-set-prices-based-on-consumer-income-shopping-habits-1020457944">increase</a> just by repeatedly searching for certain routes. To avoid fare hikes, clear your browser's cookies or search in an incognito tab.<h2>MYTH: You always have to pay for an upgrade</h2>To improve your chances of a free <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/guide/ultimate-guide-upgrades-on-united-airlines/#:~:text=Upgrade%20Priority,-Just%20finding%20upgrade&amp;text=United%20elites%20traveling%20on%20the,to%20M%20fares%20as%20well.ell.">upgrade</a>, you can try buying a full-fare economy ticket with a <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/guide/airline-fare-classes/">Y or B booking code</a>.If there are available spots in the next service class, you'll receive a complimentary <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/guide/united-fare-classes/">upgrade</a>, Amy Lee of TravelNerd.com told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/experienced-business-travelers-reveal-their-favorite-travel-tips-2013-10">Insider in 2013</a>.This trick is the most effective <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-its-like-to-fly-business-class-during-covid-2020">if you're a frequent flyer</a> and are loyal to a particular carrier.<h2>MYTH: All flight search engines are created equal</h2>If you look up the same route on various flight search engines, don't be surprised if the prices vary.To illustrate that not all airfare search sites are created equal, Frommer's compared and contrasted <a href="https://www.frommers.com/slideshows/848046-the-10-best-and-worst-airfare-search-sites">10 booking engines and aggregators</a>, including Priceline and Kayak, based on last-minute and advance-purchase fares for major gateways (NYC to LAX), secondary gateways (Philadelphia to Rome), and less-common routes (Denver to New Delhi). The travel-guidebook company learned that only some search engines identified the cheapest routes.Overall, each site had <a href="https://www.frommers.com/slideshows/848046-the-10-best-and-worst-airfare-search-sites">its own pros and cons</a>, so it's worth experimenting with search engines until you find one you like.<h2>MYTH: Regional pricing doesn't exist</h2>Flight prices can vary depending on your location, especially for international flights. Thankfully, there are a few ways to get around this hitch.You can either <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-book-the-cheapest-flight-hacks-2017-1">fake your computer's IP address</a> by using a virtual private network or purchase tickets from the airline's foreign site in the local currency. For instance, if you're <keyword id="52392" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Flying">flying</keyword> to India from somewhere in the United States, you can book your tickets through www.airindia.in instead of www.airindia.com.If you opt for the local currency solution, make sure to purchase the tickets with a card that doesn't impose a foreign transaction fee.<div type="image" title="airport coronavirus" height="1072" width="1500" msid="83847675" hostid="261"></div><h2>MYTH: Non-refundable tickets are never refundable</h2>Flight change fees are notoriously expensive, but there's actually a <a href="https://www.insider.com/howt-to-avoid-airline-change-fees-2017-1">change/cancellation window</a> built into all non-refundable tickets that's regulated by the US Department of Transportation.If you've booked your ticket seven or more days <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-dallas-fort-worth-airport-like-during-covid-photos-2021-3">before your scheduled departure</a>, the DOT mandates a free change or cancellation within a 24-hour period.The only catch is that <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/consumerist/all-major-u-s-airlines-offer-free-cancellations-within-24-hours-except-one/">airlines are not required</a> to offer both options. This also only applies to a flight going <a href="https://scottscheapflights.com/glossary/24-hour-rule#:~:text=The%2024%2Dhour%20rule%20is,or%20change%20that%20ticket%20free">to or from the US</a>. <h2>MYTH: Frequent-flyer miles aren't that useful</h2>You might think airline rewards programs are just a gimmick, but they're quite useful if you do your research.Some programs allow travelers to earn and redeem rewards by <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnnyjet/2018/02/12/get-more-from-your-frequent-flyer-program-by-redeeming-miles-on-partner-airlines/#1cbcf9e9287b">booking through other airlines</a> within the same alliance network or partnership, such as the Star Alliance (members include United, Lufthansa, and Singapore Airlines, among other major carriers).
