MakeMyTrip launched its mobile apps for Android devices and iPhone and an upgraded HTML mobile site for smartphones. Following the launch of the Blackberry app earlier, this marks a comprehensive mobile suite from MakeMyTrip that offers its services across all mobile devices, designed to make travel planning fast.

“India is amongst the top five countries in the world in mobile search queries, growing at 170 per cent year-on-year. MakeMyTrip is one of the top five most-downloaded travel apps in India with only the Blackberry app on offer. This overwhelming response encouraged us to extend our product offering to other popular mobile platforms. With this launch, all smartphone users will now be able to experience MakeMyTrip through their devices,” said Mr Amit Somani, Chief Products Officer, MakeMyTrip.com.

The app allows users to search and book flights. Passenger details are stored on the device to avoid having to type-in the details every time and enable any future bookings with just a few taps. The app provides additional travel-solutions as well - users can view booking details, make cancellations, request e-tickets and even track refunds.

Mobile transactions made through MakeMyTrip apps are supported by all modes of payment – Credit Card and Debit Cards of all major banks as well as NetBanking. In addition to the regular features, the App also provides alerts on updated flight schedules. Users can check the status of a flight with real time flight schedules. Users receive details on exclusive travel deals and also get instant personalized deal notifications. Keeping the new age social media friendly mobile users in mind, the app allows users to share their itineraries on Facebook and Twitter. It also uses the device’s GPS capabilities to find nearby restaurants.
