Bookkr

Cheaper to book direct with the airline? Usually. Airlines don't charge a convenience fee; OTAs add ₹200–₹400 per passenger at checkout.

When the OTA still wins, and the 30-second check:

ixigo's new ad: "Don't follow the herd." Good line.

But: TARA books on ixigo, Myra books on MakeMyTrip. Each platform's assistant sells its own inventory.

Bookkr shows every provider's price for the same flight and lets you pick. Don't follow one shop either.

Same IndiGo flight, same seat. ₹4,212 on one site, ₹4,589 on another, ₹4,350 on the airline's own.

Nobody's lying. Fees, coupons, fare buckets and pre-ticked add-ons differ on every site.

No site is permanently cheapest. Why, and how to compare:

Meta launched an AI agent that books flights. US only, hotels next. It owns WhatsApp and Instagram, where India plans its trips.

Our question for every agent: whose prices are you shown?

Meta: one partner. Myra: MMT. Layla: Expedia.

Bookkr: several providers, one list.

5. Decide what's optional before you go

Step 3 is the one that eats a weekend. That's the one we built Bookkr for.

How to plan a group trip without losing friends:

1. Lock dates + per-head budget in 48 hrs
2. Collect requirements, not opinions ("no flight before 9am" > "this hotel looks nice")
3. Search against the list, across every provider
4. One person books, everyone pays same day

Bookkr build update, no spin:

Fixed: Google sign-in on Android (that was us, sorry)
Fixed: a batch of bugs that made it feel less solid than it should
Coming: one screen that shows your whole trip at a glance
Waiting: iOS, still in App Store review

MakeMyTrip's Myra: 85,000 chats a day, 8M a quarter, 8 languages, books through to payment.

Good. It proves Indians will book by chat.

It also only ever shows you MakeMyTrip's price.

Bookkr is the same conversation with every provider's fare on the table.

[Bookkr @BookkrApp]

It's a harder business to build than a chat layer on your own inventory. We think it's the only honest one to build.

Congrats to the Layla team, sincerely. They proved the interface works. We're going to keep proving the choice matters.

Expedia bought Layla last month.

We're a much smaller company building in the same neighbourhood, so we read the announcement twice.

Here's what we think it actually means, and why we felt relief rather than panic. A short thread.

[Bookkr @BookkrApp]

Bookkr's answer is: all of them.

Same plain-English conversation. Flights and hotels from multiple providers, prices side by side, and you pick where to book. If Expedia or MakeMyTrip is cheapest, we show you that too.

[Bookkr @BookkrApp]

You use AI for email, notes, code, and meal plans.

Then you book a flight with 14 tabs and a group chat.

Bookkr: type the trip like you'd tell a friend. Get real bookable options from multiple providers. Works for one person or the whole group.

Status update from the Bookkr build:

Live: multi-provider flight search with real fares, natural-language hotel search, group trip chat.
End of Sept: in-app booking.

Provider comparison stays either way. If someone else is cheaper, we show it. That's the whole point.

[Bookkr @BookkrApp]

Hotel filters on every OTA: price, stars, pool, wifi.

What people actually want: "walkable from the lake", "has a snooker table", "quiet for dad, close to the bars for me".

Bookkr takes the second list as typed and finds the hotel. Live now.

ChatGPT: "Here's a lovely 5-day Kerala itinerary."
You: "Great. What's the Friday BLR–COK fare?"
ChatGPT: "I can't access live prices."

Bookkr returns the actual bookable flights, each provider's price side by side. Plan on real inventory, not vibes.
