How does it work?

It is estimated that airlines in India have over 50,000 unsold seats each day and yet nearly 100,000 people travel on air conditioned trains on a daily basis. A proprietary pricing engine developed from scratch by an IIT graduate helps airlines predict and dispose of unsold inventory and gives consumers the power to bid for distressed inventory. This proprietary pricing engine helps address this inequality though an innovating pricing mechanism, which assists airlines in disposing of unsold seats at preferential prices. The reason why www.atyourprice.in is able to offer airline seats at unbelievable prices.

How is atyourprice.in different from the other travel portals?

Other travel portals such as MakeMyTrip, Yatra, Cleartrip are all travel aggregators who just collect inventory from different airlines and sell them to the customer through a single interface. When an airline starts selling distressed inventory through aggregators’, existing customers avail the rock bottom prices. Selling lower fares through travel aggregators only results in revenue dilution and does not get incremental revenue to the airline. In order to increase the overall revenue, it is necessary for the airline to distribute their unsold inventory through a different market place like www.atyourprice.in to avoid revenue dilution and bring in incremental passengers.
