The Secret To Book Cheap Flights
The man explained the method in a post, where he wrote, “Save this number: 7065145858, which is IndiGo’s official WhatsApp. Send a message, and an AI chatbot will ask for your travel details. IndiGo often gives better fares on WhatsApp than on the website, apps or OTAs.”
According to the user, travellers only need to enter their destination, travel dates and number of passengers. The chatbot then shows available flights with prices that some people claim are lower than other platforms. The trick is now being widely discussed by users comparing fares before purchasing tickets.
Several passengers believe IndiGo may be offering lower fares on WhatsApp by avoiding additional convenience fees or platform charges. Many travellers say the process is simple and can be completed within minutes while checking flight rates across different booking channels.
The post, shared on November 17, has crossed over one lakh views and prompted multiple reactions from users. People now check the WhatsApp fare alongside the website, mobile app and online travel agencies to choose the best rate. The method has created interest among those looking for cheaper domestic flight options.
Online Users Share Mixed Reactions to the Viral IndiGo Hack
The trick surfaced after the man responded to another user who claimed he booked a cheaper IndiGo ticket through a travel agent. That user said the IndiGo app showed a fare of Rs 9,500, but the same flight cost Rs 6,800 through the agent. Several people reacted to the WhatsApp method, with mixed responses. One user commented that the trick may no longer stay “underrated” after going viral.
Another person claimed they were charged a convenience fee despite being told that WhatsApp bookings avoid such charges. Many travellers continue to test the feature to compare results.
