What is iXiGO?

iXiGO is a travel search engine for Indian consumers.

Our mission: to aggregate travel information and make it searchable and useful.
Our passion: technology that brings speed, usability and transparency to the travel world.

How are we different?

iXiGO is an infomediary, not an intermediary. That means we are NOT an online travel agency. We let you search directly across multiple airlines, hotels, buses and online travel agencies in real-time so that you don't need to search a zillion travel websites. We thus aim to make your travel search easier for you, the same way Google does for information on websites.

We do not advertise any 0 Rs. fares, 1 Rs. fares, 99 Rs. fares on our site, for one simple reason - we let you cut through the crap and give you the raw deal - inclusive of all taxes and fees. We believe that travelers want an all-inclusive price comparison, even for roundtrip fares. We show you all combinations with the actual price that hits your pocket.

iXiGO is a search of the traveler, by the traveler and for the traveler. When you use iXiGO, you retain complete control on your travel choices and preferences. You choose which provider you want to book with, and can complete the booking directly on the provider's site. This ensures that you retain a direct relationship with travel vendors and complete a transaction more efficiently. It also means that travel planning is no more stressful and you spend less time searching for tickets and more time on planning your stay.

Unlike travel agencies, there are no biases or commercially-motivated deals within our results. We don't sell placements within the search results nor allow anyone to pay for higher visibility. We give you objective, comprehensive and transparent information to assist you in making informed buying (and traveling!) decisions. In addition, we provide you with cool tools to sort, filter and personalize your results, ensuring that you have fun while you search for that perfect travel deal.

iXiGO's utility and ease of use have made it India's best known travel search engine almost entirely through word of mouth from satisfied users. We have also received great support from bloggers and frequent travelers, and work hard on new features and other suggestions by them and our valued customers. We look forward to your feedback and we always get back to you personally!
