Well, like others I was lured by Makemytrip’s(MMT) AD and did lots of online air ticket bookings with them. But be careful my friends, on how they calculate the fares. I recently found a bug in their fare calculating method(may be they should give me some prize for bringing out the bug in the system and fire their Project Manager - haha). Ok this was the scenario. I wanted to book one adult, one child and one infant ticket from delhi to bangalore - 16th march via Indigo Air. The fare was 2399 and when it calculated it showed:
1 Adult 2399
1 Child 2399
1 Infant 2399
Airport tax 3675
Serv Tax 0
Total 10872
I was suprised that they were charging full fare for infant, when its 10%. I went to https://goindigo.in site and they did the calculation as:
1 Adult 2399
1 Child 2399
1 Infant 275
Airport tax 2, 675
Total 7748
That’s about Rs. 3, 124 extra! Wow, is that low cost airlines booking site or they have these tactics to earn more? Or is it a software bug. Are our websites so buggy? MMT can u please explain? Or if that’s how you charge, why would we use your site and not use the real airlines website?
Lemme attach screenshot so that there is no doubt:D
Be careful friends!
Cheers
