If you are planning to travel during the upcoming festive season, there is good news for you. Online travel platform ixigo has announced its Grand Travel Fest, offering attractive discounts on flight tickets and hotel bookings. With festive travel expenses usually rising, this scheme comes as a welcome relief for passengers who want to save on their holiday trips.

The fest brings discounts of up to 15% when booking through select partner banks’ credit cards and EMIs. Travelers looking to visit family during Diwali, Chhath, or simply planning a getaway can book their tickets now at reduced prices.

Discounts Available Until 26 September

The offers under the Grand Travel Fest will remain valid until 26 September 2025. Customers can take advantage of special bank partnerships to maximize savings:

  • ICICI Bank credit cards and EMIs: Up to 12% discount on flights and hotels.

  • RBL Bank credit cards, BOB Card, AU Bank credit cards, and ixigo AU Credit Card: Up to 15% discount.

  • IDFC First Bank credit card EMI users: Eligible for exclusive discounts as well.

By using these cards during checkout, travelers can instantly reduce the cost of their bookings and make their festive journeys more affordable.

Why This Fest is Special

Flight tickets usually become expensive during the festive months, especially for routes connecting tier-1 cities to smaller towns. Many families prefer traveling home to celebrate Diwali (21 October) and Chhath (27–28 October), which significantly pushes up airfares.

With ixigo’s Grand Travel Fest, customers can book early and lock in cheaper rates, ensuring their holiday trips do not put extra strain on their budgets.

ixigo’s Vision Behind the Fest

Speaking about the initiative, Aloke Bajpai, CEO of ixigo, said:
“Festivals are a time when families come together. With the Grand Travel Fest, ixigo wants to make festive travel more affordable and convenient for everyone. By partnering with leading banks, we are able to provide exclusive discounts that help customers book trips at lower prices.”

His statement highlights ixigo’s effort to support travelers during peak demand seasons, offering them cost-effective options to stay connected with loved ones.

How to Avail the Offer

To grab these deals, customers need to:

  1. Visit ixigo’s platform during the Grand Travel Fest period.

  2. Select flights or hotels for booking.

  3. Use one of the eligible bank credit cards or opt for EMI payment at checkout.

  4. The applicable discount (12% or 15%) will be deducted instantly.

This simple process ensures that travelers can enjoy discounts without complicated coupon codes or additional steps.

Perfect Timing for Festive Bookings

With major Indian festivals around the corner, the Grand Travel Fest is perfectly timed. Booking early not only helps secure cheaper tickets but also ensures availability during the rush period. Whether it’s flying home to celebrate Diwali with family or planning a short vacation during the holidays, this fest allows you to travel smarter while spending less.
