Booking announces ‘Flash Deal’ promotion with discounts starting at 30%

As India returns to some level of normalcy and travel restrictions continue to ease, Booking.com, the leading digital travel brand, has launched its ‘Flash Deal’ promotion to make travellers’ wishlists a reality.

The newly introduced Flash Deal promotion is a 36 hour bi-weekly offer launched globally to help travellers save at least 30% from participating properties across India and around the world. The promotional offer has been designed keeping the importance of flexibility in mind, especially in the current volatile environment.

The first promotion will go live in India from 1:30 am on Friday (13th August, 2021) to 1:30 pm on Saturday (15th August, 2021).

With a booking window valid for stays with a checkout date until 13 August 2022, travellers can feel secure knowing that Booking.com offers important features like free cancellation (policies vary by property) and information on cleanliness standards, so they can travel stress free and safely as and when travel restrictions continue to lift across India and globally.

The discount is applied to the original price of a room, before taxes and it cannot be combined with other discounts.

A minimum of 30% discount is offered across participating properties including the likes of Accor, Taj, Wyndham, Sarovar, Radisson, Fairmont, Treebo, OYO, FabHotel and many more accommodations across India. The discounts also go as high as 70%  on select properties.

“This sentiment was reflected in Booking.com’s Future of Travel research, where findings indicated that 74% of Indian travellers expect travel companies to support their future travel plans via discounts and promotions.

“With the launch of Flash Deals, we hope that travellers are able to find the best offers to realise their travel dreams in a safe and cost-efficient manner. As always, we are committed to supporting travellers through initiatives that make it easier for them to experience the world,” Mehrotra said.
