MakeMyTrip recently introduced a dedicated Business Class Funnel for international flights. 

 MakeMyTrip's latest report reveals a 10 per cent rise in searches for international business class flights from 2023 to 2024. The trend, previously linked to long-haul destinations like the USA and UK is now expanding to shorter routes including Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

The number of Indians travelling abroad in a year twice or more has gone up 32 per cent, according to a report by MakeMyTrip.

Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi lead the charts for international travel searches, as per the 'How India Travels Abroad' Report by travel booking platform MakeMyTrip. The report covered the period between June 2023 and May 2024.

Popular destinations such as the UAE, Thailand, and the US, top the chart of the destinations that Indians love to travelling to, with Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Bhutan leading the emerging destinations chart.
