Airbnb, the world's leading community-driven hospitality company, today announced its first airline partnership in India with Jet Airways, India's premier international airline.
This announcement adds momentum to the growth of Airbnb's footprint in the Indian market by focusing on establishing a deeper connect with the new age Indian travellers who seek unique travel experiences.
To announce this exciting partnership, Jet Airways is running a contest on its website www.jetairways.com, where 5 lucky winners have a chance to win free couple flight tickets from Jet Airways together with a stay coupon worth Rs.35,000 from Airbnb.
To be eligible for the contest, all that guests in India need to do is to book a Jet Airways flight to any of the 64 destinations on its network between 23rd August and September 1, 2017.
In another inaugural offer, the first 100 Jet Airways' guests booking their accommodation with Airbnb via the Jet Airways website, also receive 10 percent off. In a separate, limited period offer from Airbnb, travellers can get a 10 percent discount for their Jet Airways flight booking via a promo code.
"Airbnb has been committed to building local partnerships which enable us to strengthen our connect with the Indian audience. With this partnership, Jet Airways fliers who are also Airbnb travellers will be able to enjoy the added-value they receive from being associated with two dynamic brands," said country manager - India, Airbnb, Amanpreet Bajaj.
With over a million Indians having travelled on Airbnb globally, this partnership comes as a reaffirmation of the company's commitment to make travel unique for Indian travellers.
