* Yatra has no concern for their customers*
My experience with Yatra has been otherwise Big names like Reliance and TV18 etc does not necessarily mean that the service rendered would be world clsss. While it looks nice to see things on their Portal, on the ground reality is different ! I had done Hotel bookings thru them this April for a family holiday in May and to my surprise even after the money was 100%charged in advance to my CC, I found the Hotels refusing to confirm the bookings. On notifying the anomaly to them, an11th hour attempt by Yatra yielded result and they found a hotel some 145 kms away from my destination ! Finally I had to search a hotel which was reluctantly booked by yatra but was still some 20kms from the downtown area and I had to pay thru my nose everyday for an up-down travel by taxi. One one such occasion we al had to walk 3 kms and face humiltion at the hand of Taxi drivers and seek help from police to avert a situation.In the other case, I was offered a very dingy cottage (one can call it a servant room) at a resort instead of a room booked and confirmed thru them. After hours long arguments, I had to check in at another hotel and pay thru my nose.
The very purpose of going on a vacation with family, with advance bookings done, is to enjoy a hassle free vacation but that is the last of the concerns with the people at Yatra. Till date, despite so many reminders, Yatra has not even bothered to call back and apologise. Their sales manager Arpit Seth has no empathy for the poor clients. Net net, my vacation was royally sc***d and my family keeps cursing me for no fault of mine.

Why is the debate on pricing ?? The debate should be on customer/user experience. At the end the travel industry is growing at 271% and recuded pricing is not the solution .. Or is it ??
Another interesting aspect is when OTAs launched they spoke about how easy it would be for us consumers to use them but with these horribble flashes , colours , glitters and clutter it confuses me more. I am looking for a partiucular trip why dont they just help me with that instead of this shinny page.. what the dont realize is my time is precious why would I hang on when I can move to a faster OTA. I think we stopped going to tradtional agents caused they confused us and we did not trust them how different is Makemytrip or Yatra they dont even show me the taxes.

well this place is going to get more crowded and lets C who wins us .

Ezeego1 ( http://www.ezeego1.co.in ) appears to be a fraud and con website and company going by all the reviews and my personal experience. There are numerous compliants about the discounts and cash back schemes they offer. In the most published ICICI Bank credit card cash back offer for airlines ticket booking they promise cash back upto 50% which as per their terms and conditions should happen in 7 days has not happened even after 14 days. There are many negative feedback given by users on websites like mouthshut.com etc. Here are few links.

Many emails and phone calls to this company were unanswered.

I would suggest people beware of this company and go with other sources for booking tickets.

I have been using Yatra.com, makemytrip.com and http://www.cleartrip.com for the past two years, in my experience, cleartrip.com is the best.

Ezeego1 – Good to see iXiGO, Yatra and trak.in having a good influence in finding correcting all your “technical errors”

By: Team Ezeego1

Team Ezeego1 — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 09:23:43 +0000

Our Technical team has found the error due to which the wrong results were displayed. We now have the right results displayed.

Would also like to highlight an important feature that can be used as a very effective search tool for return flights. While defining the search parameters for a return flight, we have an option where you can choose to see results of the outbound and inbound journey on different airlines.

This feature gives the user flexibility to choose flights which suit his time and budget.

We thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

I am surprised to see a big player like Arzoo.com not being featured here. The site was launched much before than the couple of sites featured here.
Fares on Arzoo.com are usually quite competitive. It would have been interesting to see how does arzoo fares fare in your analysis.

Hello Avinash..Thanks for dropping in a line. I will surely look at travelocity in my next travel coverage which I am planning to do by this month end. That will cover more areas than what is covered here. If you have seen the recent Times of India article, you will know my name :).
