EaseMyTrip has launched its Monsoon Travel Sale running from July 7-10, 2026, offering significant discounts across multiple travel categories. According to reports from Business Standard, the four-day campaign covers both domestic and international destinations, providing travellers with substantial savings opportunities during the monsoon season. The campaign uses coupon-led and bank-linked pricing with the official sale page displaying the coupon code MONSOON and advertising up to ₹15,000 off across flights and hotels, while buses and cabs receive up to ₹500 off and holiday packages start at ₹11,599. Manmeet Ahluwalia, chief marketing officer at EaseMyTrip, stated that the campaign has been timed to coincide with the peak monsoon travel period and is aimed at driving bookings across domestic and international destinations by catering to rising demand for leisure holidays, family vacations and short seasonal getaways. As the sale progresses, travellers are becoming more intentional about how they plan their holidays, looking for the right mix of value, convenience, and memorable experiences, according to Business Standard.
The sale offers substantial savings across all major travel segments with flights receiving up to ₹15,000 off, hotels up to ₹15,000 off, bus bookings up to ₹500 off, and cab bookings up to ₹500 off. As reported by Business Standard, holiday packages are available starting from ₹11,599, with customers required to use the promo code MONSOON to access these discounts through the EaseMyTrip website or mobile app. However, the maximum saving depends on product, payment instrument, bank, minimum order value, selected supplier and valid promo code, with bus and cab offers remaining much smaller than flight and hotel discounts. The offers cover destinations including Goa, Kerala, Kashmir, Bali, the Maldives, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. With the monsoon having set in across parts of the country, including Kerala and Goa, and gradually progressing along the western coast, travellers are witnessing a growing trend of making the most of extended weekends and public holidays for monsoon travel this year by opting for short, nature-led getaways.
The sale includes instant discounts and financing offers through partnerships with multiple banks including AU Small Finance Bank, Punjab National Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC FIRST Bank, IndusInd Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. According to Business Standard, travellers should compare the bank offers with standard promo code discounts to determine which option provides better savings depending on their booking value. AU Bank credit card offers up to ₹10,000 on international hotels including the AUFEST code, while ICICI Bank provides flat ₹15,000 on international flights and hotels above ₹1,50,000. Axis Bank EMI offers up to ₹6,000 on international hotels with EMI-led terms, and Kotak Bank provides up to ₹10,000 on international hotels with higher hotel caps than flight caps. The monsoon season is emerging as a preferred travel season rather than an off-peak period, with hospitality companies banking on year-round demand beyond summer peak to maintain consistent bookings throughout the year.
The monsoon travel sector is experiencing significant growth beyond traditional peak seasons, with S D Nandakumar, president and country head at SOTC Travel, noting that destinations such as the Nilgiris, Kodaikanal, Wayanad, Munnar and Kerala continue to attract travellers in southern India, while Kasauli, Mussoorie, Nainital, Kanatal and Naukuchiatal are witnessing strong demand in the north. As reported by Business Standard, Nikhil Sharma, managing director and chief operating officer at Radisson Hotel Group South Asia, stated that across their portfolio, they have witnessed strong momentum during the May-June 2026 period, with occupancies outperforming last year and July bookings currently pacing nearly 10 per cent ahead year-on-year. Shwetank Singh, managing director and chief executive officer at Chalet Hotels, emphasized that domestic leisure travel is no longer confined to just two peak seasons, with the monsoon emerging as a powerful travel driver in its own right. Guests are increasingly seeking holistic stay experiences, from wellness facilities and indoor recreational offerings to regional cuisine and seasonal comfort food, with interest coming from customers across Tier-II and Tier-III markets.
Travel experts recommend comparing final fare prices across platforms, checking direct airline and hotel pricing, and carefully reviewing cancellation and rescheduling policies during monsoon season. According to Business Standard, combining the MONSOON promo code with eligible bank offers can maximize savings, while comparing holiday package prices with separate flight and hotel bookings ensures optimal value. The sale creates a short, high-intent booking window across multiple travel categories, giving travel agents and tour operators a wider retail opportunity during the four-day urgency window. For travel agents and tour operators, the winning strategy will be speed, accuracy and segmentation: sell the right destination, match the right payment offer, disclose the real discount cap, and package the trip before the four-day urgency window closes. The monsoon, combined with continued momentum in business travel and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions), is reinforcing confidence in the sector's long-term, sustainable growth.
