Ixigo Trains & Hotels app: Makes your trips more convenient than you can imagine!

Updated on September 1, 2017

Ixigo aims at providing cheap hotels and train booking for trips. Along with this, they have the option of planning an entire trip for you provided you enlist what you want. This online service has moved to mobile in the form of apps. As I use Android, I recently downloaded the app from Play Store and found it exceedingly convenient. On Googling, I found that it was available for Windows phones as well as in the App Store. As the app is free, I insist you hesitate not a minute and download the app immediately. You do not have to be a fan of travelling, this can be used to make your trips convenient in many ways. I shall show you how!

After installing the app, open it and enable the option that requests you to allow the app to plan your trips. After this, I’d recommend that you log on using your Facebook account. You can share a lot of things, for example, the places you are visiting with your friends as live updates.ixigo trains and hotels

Here are the options that the app provides:

Find Cheap Budget Hotels

It has always been the priority of ixigo to provide cheapest hotels. Either enter the location of your destination to enlist the hotels around or if you already are present there, allow GPS to do the magic. You’ll get the list of hotels around you, their details and of course a map!

Quick PNR Status Check

The uniqueness of this app should really be appreciated. Retrieving the status of your tickets cannot be easier than this! You can also search trains based on your source and destination.

PNR status and search trains

  • Train by name/no: Know the name or number of the train? Get the particulars of it in a jiffy!
  • Live Train Status: Where is the train currently? When will it arrive at your station? All these frequent important questions are answered immediately!
  • Live Station Status: Why just trains? Why not the entire station? Now you can find what trains are present in the station and the timetables of the trains. All you have to do is type the station’s name (or code, which is highly improbable that most people know)

  • Seat/Berth Map: This gives you an idea of how seats and berths are numbered and located in trains.
  • Favourites: You can favorite a particular train so that you can always book the same train without having to remember its name or number. So effortless!
  • Book on IRCTC site: Of course, this is where you book your tickets!
  • Rescheduled, Cancelled trains: Are trains booked cancelled or rescheduled? You can be sure by checking this.

My favorite part of this app is the user interface. With classy colours and icons, and a convenient interface, it is more than compelling to use! If you are not a fan of trains, and you love to fly, ixigo flights and hotels app offers a similar service!
