MakeMyTrip, launched in 2000, has grown at a fast pace toemerge as the leading travel
company for travel from USAto India.
“Lowest Airfare Guarantee” with which its website was launched has disappeared. I find the arifares on this website expensive among all similar websites. I haven’t booked a flight with them since last December simplybecase I always get a better deal else ware.
Other excellent services offered include
Hotel Reservations: They have gone the greedy way here also.The reservations were never in budget although I have to say I used this serviewhen it was peak season.
Car rentals: Living in India I know that their rental pricesare soaring high, but I suppose this service is mainly for foreign tourists.
The only section I have been using it for these days is a section called ’road trip’ it gives a detailed plan and stopovers to nearest destination from your point of origin. I use it to get a basic idea for planning weekend breaks.
The alternative Website to makemytrip which is really impressive these days is travelguru.com although I am still on the lookout for other decent travel portals.
Travelguru is highly recommended for international bookings as well.
Looking at some of the information I found else ware MM T seemto be doing really well.
