Yarta.com App Gets the Much-awaited Web Check-in, Bus Booking

Yatra.com has done it again. The company that spearheaded the digital revolution in the Indian travel industry, for more than a decade, is now attributable for pioneering another radical transformation in the landscape. The latest version of the Yatra App has become the first app in the Indian market to bring Web Check-in feature for all flight travellers – even those who haven’t booked their travel through Yatra.com or the App. The addition is a welcome change, especially given the fact that no other app so far gives user the option to avoid the ever-increasing queues at airport check-in counters. 

Available for both iOS and Android devices, the latest release of the Yatra App also gives users the option to book bus tickets, which is another feature that was sorely missed in the older versions, and will certainly be appreciated by the Indian audience. Although air travel has become a lot more affordable over the years, a lot of people still need to take a bus ride, especially if they are planning to explore remote locations. Given the rapidly increasing travel and adventure patrons in the country, Yatra.com can certainly hope to add a substantial number of app users with the addition of this feature. 

Yatra.com, one of the frontrunners in the Indian online travel industry, has taken special care to ensure the release is rolled out right before summer sets in and people start making arrangements to materialize their holiday plans. Despite being a leader in the segment holing the lion’s share, the company is giving even more reasons to users for downloading the Yatra App. Under the ‘Invite & Earn’ promo offer, users can refer the travel app to a friend and get Rs 500 eCash, whereas the referred gets Rs 2000 eCash to those who sign up!

All in all, though it would be premature to comment on how the release would impact the market share of the Yatra App in the increasingly challenging Indian travel industry - to say the least - users, especially frequent business travellers and those by smitten by an unwavering wanderlust, now probably have all the right reasons to add it to their list of favorite Apps. In all cases, smartphones are all set to revolutionize the way we travel and Yatra App will certainly be a notable contributor in the transition. How exactly the new release with the feature additions unfolds for the company and its prominence in the industry, guess we’ll have to wait and watch. 

Until then, the next time you travel, before checking-in on Facebook, check-in at Yatra App and know you’ve got it all covered.
