Online travel platform, EaseMyTrip will now be offering discounted air tickets to users who have waitlisted train tickets. The move comes on the back of the efforts taken by the company to encourage travel bookings by providing additional options and benefits. It is also aimed at supporting the recovery of the travel and tourism industry which has faced severe disruptions since the onset of the pandemic, the press release said.

It also said that, to avail this offer, the user can visit the EaseMyTrip website and click on the ‘Train Waitlisted’ option and enter the unique PNR number. Once it is confirmed that the train ticket is under waiting list, the user will receive flight options with additional discount of up to 50% for their preferred routes.

Offer to provide additional flexibility and convenience

“The new feature is in line with a slew of offers EaseMyTrip has launched this year to revive the travel sector. The most recent initiative launched by the company is the full refund on domestic air ticket cancellation due to medical reasons”, it said in the press release.

During these unprecedent times, the feature would enable passengers to find last-minute alternate travel options in case of unconfirmed train tickets. “It will not only protect users from the uncertainties associated with waitlisted train bookings but also offer them an upgraded travel option at a discounted price”, the release further added.

“There are still concerns regarding confirmed bookings among train journeys, which are acting as a barrier to travel recovery. This unique feature will provide additional flexibility, convenience and eases the financial woes associated with an expensive last minute flight”, said EaseMyTrip, Co-Founder, Rikant Pittie. He also added that the upgraded feature would strengthen the travel sentiment during such unprecedented times.
