MakeMyTrip Introduces Industry-First Guarantee on Early Check-In and Late Check-Out Options

MakeMyTrip Introduces Revolutionary Early Check-In and Late Check-Out Feature

In a significant move to streamline travel, online travel major MakeMyTrip has rolled out a novel feature that enables travellers to secure guaranteed early check-in and late check-out slots at the time of booking. This innovative offering, available across more than 10,000 hotels, villas, and homestays in India, as well as over 1,000 properties across 20 international destinations, marks a significant milestone in the industry, particularly in India.

Addressing a Persistent Pain Point

According to MakeMyTrip's analysis, a substantial portion of travellers experience a mismatch between their transportation schedules and standard hospitality timelines. Booking data reveals that 53% of travellers arrive at their destinations before 9 AM, while 54% depart after 3 PM. With standard hotel check-in times typically set at 2 PM and check-out mandated by noon, travellers are often left navigating unfamiliar cities while half-asleep or waiting in lobbies. This pattern is equally pronounced on international routes, where more than half of travellers on short-haul flights to Singapore, Bangkok, and Hanoi, as well as long-haul flights to New York, land before 8 AM.
