IndiGo starts flexible payment scheme: Pay 10% fare now and get ticket

Passengers can defer the 90 per cent remaining payment "for a period of up to 15 days either from the date of bookings or before the date of departure" under this scheme, IndiGo said.

IndiGo announced a flexible payment option allowing customers to secure booking on a domestic flight by paying 10 per cent of the ticket price upfront or minimum Rs 400 per passenger. Customers will have to pay the balance upto fifteen days from date of booking or fifteen days before departure, the airline announced said.

The move will help customers lock in fares and help IndiGo grow bookings as it expects a shift in demand from other airlines.
