As India’s travel preferences shift, premium experiences are becoming increasingly important. According to MakeMyTrip’s recent report, searches for international business class flights have risen by 10% between 2023 and 2024. While traditionally popular on long-haul routes like the USA and UK, this trend is now extending to shorter destinations such as Hong Kong, Japan, Sri Lanka, and Saudi Arabia.

To cater to this growing demand, MakeMyTrip has partnered with 10 leading international airlines, including Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Vistara, offering up to 20% off on business class fares. ICICI Bank cardholders can enjoy an additional INR 10,000 off during the Business Class Fest, which runs from September 27 to October 2.

Saujanya Shrivastava, COO at MakeMyTrip, emphasised the evolving Indian traveller’s desire for premium experiences, stating, “With the Business Class Fest, we aim to make luxury travel more accessible and rewarding.” He also highlighted that the platform is increasingly recognised as the preferred choice for premium travellers, with more initiatives planned for the future.

This initiative follows MakeMyTrip’s launch of a dedicated Business Class Funnel for international flights, offering an immersive and user-friendly booking experience tailored specifically for business travellers. The feature ensures ease of use with refined filters and high-quality visuals, simplifying the process of booking premium flights.
