MakeMyTrip is India's largest online travel agency (roughly 50%+ market share), tuned for booking flights, hotels, trains, and packaged holidays. Its Myra 2.0 assistant (May 2026) handles flight and hotel bookings in a conversation, but does not plan the trip. If you are looking for a MakeMyTrip alternative for the planning half of your trip, Winnie is the India specialist.
The AI trip planner built only for India. Chat to plan, refine like you would chat a friend, and only sign in when you are ready to save.
Every generalist AI planner tries to cover the whole world. That is impressive, and for planning a trip to Spain or Japan it works. For India it does not, because India has more edge cases per week of travel than any other Top 10 destination:
Not really. MakeMyTrip is India's largest booking marketplace and its Myra 2.0 agent handles flight and hotel bookings in a conversation. Winnie is an independent trip planner that plans the whole trip. The right workflow is Winnie then MakeMyTrip: plan with Winnie, then book flights and hotels on MakeMyTrip (or trains on IRCTC directly).
Myra is a booking assistant for flights and hotels, not a trip planner. It is genuinely good at what it does, but its scope is those two categories. It will not surface Inner Line Permits, Kedarnath's Guptkashi base, safari zone choices, pacing, or honest hotel tier ranges. For those, use Winnie.
Not today. Winnie is planning-first. In-app booking with INR and UPI is on the Month 6 roadmap. Book on IRCTC, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, or wherever the best price and terms land.
For most travellers, yes. Holiday packages are shaped by margin, not by your specific interests. Winnie plans to your actual constraints (dates, budget, group, interests) and returns a real day-by-day plan. You can then book any part of it on MakeMyTrip if their price for that segment is competitive.
For planning the trip, Winnie. Winnie is India-aware for inbound travellers and handles visa, currency, and origin-city context. Myra's language support targets Indian languages, i.e. the product is built for Indians booking travel. For booking, MakeMyTrip works, but foreign visitors often find Booking.com and IRCTC directly more intuitive.
Winnie is free to plan. MakeMyTrip is free to search; the cost is the convenience fee and any margin on bookings. You do not save money by planning on MakeMyTrip. You might save money by planning on Winnie first and then choosing where to book.
Free. No signup for your first plan. Built only for India.
