nThose of you who scour the Net for deals, here’s a spot of good news. Five-year-old makemytrip.com, the on-line Indian travel agency that has so far focused on bringing travelers from the US to India, has now turned its eye on the Indian market through its India travel site. The website, makemytrip.com (the URL for the US and Indian markets remains the same), is offering on-line booking of tickets on all airlines, some 350 hotels in the country, car rentals, weekend packages and road trips within and from India. The Website is hard-selling its Lowest Airfare Guarantee (valid on all domestic airlines including low cost carriers) that challenges the passenger (at the time of booking the ticket) to come up with a lower fare than the one offered by it. If the passenger does, then the site promises to return the passenger the difference. The search engine on the site called FarePundit offers a variety of itineraries. The site also offers the Road-Trip section.
