FlightGPT vs MakeMyTrip
Quick answer: MakeMyTrip is an online travel agency: it sells the ticket, handles changes and refunds, and runs bank offers, but shows only its own fares. FlightGPT is a metasearch: it compares Google Flights listings and travel-agent fares and sends you to the cheapest seller. Use FlightGPT to find the fare, then compare MakeMyTrip's total on the same flight.

Where MakeMyTrip is better
One company for everything. When you book on MakeMyTrip, the same company issues the ticket, takes the call when your flight is rescheduled and processes the refund. Its bank and card offers can bring a fare below the airline's own price, and it bundles flights with hotels and holidays. FlightGPT can't do any of that — it doesn't sell anything.
Where FlightGPT is better
Seeing beyond one seller. MakeMyTrip shows MakeMyTrip's fares; FlightGPT compares Google Flights listings — which include airlines and several agencies — and series fares from travel agents such as Tatkal Flights, then shows the cheapest offer for each flight. You can type the trip in plain English. And because FlightGPT adds nothing, the fare you tap is the seller's own quote.
The same trip, searched both ways
Hyderabad to Chennai, Monday morning.
- On MakeMyTrip: search, pick a flight and fare type, add any bank offer at checkout, pay, and MakeMyTrip issues the ticket. Everything after that — date changes, cancellations — happens in your MakeMyTrip account.
- On FlightGPT: type "cheapest Hyderabad to Chennai Monday morning". You see each flight with the cheapest offer across Google Flights listings and partner agents; a tap opens that seller, where you pay.
A sensible routine: find the cheapest flight on FlightGPT, then check that exact flight on MakeMyTrip with your card offer. Book wherever the final total is lower.
What changes after you book
This is the real difference. With MakeMyTrip you have one account, one support line and one refund process for everything you booked there. With a booking found through FlightGPT you deal with the seller — the airline or the partner agent — directly. Keep the seller's confirmation and the airline PNR, and read the agent's change and refund terms before paying; series fares are often non-refundable.
The practical way to use both
- Search your route and date on FlightGPT to see the cheapest seller for each flight.
- Open the same flight on MakeMyTrip and apply any bank offer you qualify for.
- Compare the totals — fare, convenience fee and baggage — and book with whichever is lower.
If you value one point of contact for changes, a slightly higher MakeMyTrip total can be worth it. That's a fair trade, not a mistake.

Frequently asked questions
Is FlightGPT cheaper than MakeMyTrip?
Sometimes. FlightGPT shows the cheapest offer across its sources and adds ₹0, while MakeMyTrip may add a convenience fee but can be cheaper with a bank offer. Compare the total on the same flight.
Does FlightGPT sell tickets like MakeMyTrip?
No. FlightGPT is a metasearch: a tap opens the seller's site, where you pay. MakeMyTrip is a travel agency and sells the ticket itself.
Who do I contact for a refund if I found the flight on FlightGPT?
The provider you booked with — the airline or travel agent on whose site you paid. FlightGPT doesn't hold bookings.
Does MakeMyTrip charge a convenience fee?
A convenience fee may apply at checkout depending on the fare and payment method; check the final total before paying.
Can FlightGPT book hotels and holidays like MakeMyTrip?
It compares hotel rates and opens the provider to book. For holidays, cabs and visas, a FlightGPT concierge chat takes the request and the travel team replies by email.
Should I book on the airline website instead?
Check it too. The airline is often the same price with simpler changes; agents win when they sell series fares or run offers.
