As the new academic year gets underway, students from India who are planning to study abroad face a unique set of challenges. From extra baggage fees to competitive student fares, travel costs can quickly add up. To help make this process more cost-effective and convenient, MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, has collaborated with key stakeholders to offer students an integrated travel solution.
MakeMyTrip has partnered with nine airlines, including Air France, Air Mauritius, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Malaysian Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines, Thai Airways, and Vistara, to provide competitive student fares and extra baggage allowance. In addition, MakeMyTrip has also tied up with banking partners to offer exclusive discounts and EMI-led solutions, discounted forex cards, and travel accessories.
This comprehensive package is available through MakeMyTrip’s flight funnel and includes a flat 12% discount up to INR 10,000 when using American Express, Axis Bank, Citibank, and ICICI debit/credit cards. Students can also access BookMyForex Cards without service or delivery charges and an additional 1% (approximate) cashback on purchasing foreign currency during the offer period. To top it off, there is a 50-70% discount on leading travel accessories brands.
