Reviews of People you have booked flight + hotel together:

"When I first booked a hotel + flight at MakeMyTrip I was bit worried as how it would work out as the price was pretty cheap at around 15K for flight to and fro and a 2 days stay. However, when I arrived at Goa from Delhi, was very pleased with the hotel I got and really it was worth the money and there was no worries anytime during the travel and stay. I would surely book through this option next time too to save money" - Rajiv Malhotra, Noida

"We went on a family vacation and booked everything through MakeMyTrip as it was quite value for money. The only doubt we had was about the condition of the hotels we get during the stay and service. However, it turned out to be a three star hotel with ample space and a park for kids to play. Overall it was a tour we would cherish for long. In the end we were quite happy to have booked our tour from MakeMyTrip as we would have spent double that amount if we had booked elsewhere. Thankyou MMT". - Ms. Pooja Salve, Nasik

"The bookings through MakeMyTrip was cheap and saved lot of money. The only problem we had was a flight delay of 30 minutes but that was the problem with Jetlite. Will book again using the hotel + flight feature provided by MakeMyTrip." - John Mathew, Goa

MakeMyTrip.com Tries To Attract Holiday Travellers With “Holiday Plus”

Few days back we had discussed about Travelguru TAP’ing with bloggers and website holders. Travelguru is focusing on hotels now which itself is a big market whether for business travelers or leisure travelers. Though it is easier and faster to book through an online travel portal like Yatra and ClearTrip, these travel portals still do not offer a complete holiday planning tool. Holiday traveling is much more complex as it requires timely decision and multiple location coverage unlike business travel which is to and fro to a single location. So in order to attract international holidaying customers MakeMyTrip.com has launched “Holiday Plus” which guarantees satisfaction to the travelers. This is achieved by charging only half the amount upfront , and the rest after the travelers’ return.

On this Keyur Joshi, Co-Founder & COO, MakeMyTrip.com said, “We are absolutely certain that we offer the Best Holiday Experience in the market. As proof, we have extended a first-ever guarantee to customers under which we are willing to receive upfront payment for only 50% of the package cost, and the rest after the traveler returns from a satisfactory holiday. We are supporting this with a high-voltage campaign “Humne Toda Vaada Toh Pay Only Aadha” that will shortly break across mass media – TV, electronic and radio channels as well as the internet.”


Besides for the price factor I guess whats lacking is a holiday travel tool which helps me make the best decisions for my holidays and if one can add a reviews and recommendations feature to that from other people who have spent a holiday at the same location then nothing like it. I guess online travel portals need to start thinking beyond transaction focused schemes and products and look at adding ease and value to travel decision making atleast as far as holiday or leisure travel is concerned.
