Searching

What number should I send my searches to?

5667744

I sent a search SMS, but haven’t received a reply. What gives?

A couple of things could have gone wrong here:

Check that you sent your SMS to the correct number – 5667744.

Make sure you send your search in this format:

fly <departure city> <destination city> <day> <month>

Finally, Cleartrip Mobile currently services only domestic flights within India.

Can I search for round trip fares on Cleartrip Mobile?

No. The fares shown are per adult for one-way travel only. If you want airfares for your return journey, just do a second search for your return trip.

Can I search fares for a specific airline only?

No. That would make for a mobile experience that’s tedious and messy, and we don’t want that. Chances are, your airline of choice will be listed in the results we send you anyway.

What is the maximum number of fares I can get for a search?

Using Cleartrip Mobile is slightly different from using Cleartrip.com.

SMS or text messages have a limit of 160 characters per message. To minimise the number of messages, we send you only the best fare per airline for your search, limiting the maximum number of fares for your search to 9.

Are searches case sensitive?

No. You get the same speedy response whether you send us

“FLY MUMBAI DELHI 10 OCT”

“fly mumbai delhi 10 oct”

Results

Help! I can’t make out the airlines in the results?

Relax, we’ve used airline display codes instead of airline names to shorten the length of the message we send you. Here’s the airline display codes and names:

AI: Air India
GO: GoAir
IN: Air India IC
IG: IndiGo
JT: Jet Airways
JL: JetLite
KF: Kingfisher
KR: Kingfisher Red
MA: MDLR Airlines
PA: Paramount Airways
SJ: SpiceJet

Are the fares inclusive of taxes?

Of course. This is Cleartrip, remember? No hidden taxes, surcharges or fees, what you see is what you pay.

Why do I only get one fare per airline?

We’re assuming you’re using Cleartrip because you want a travel search experience that’s simple, fast and cost-effective. So, we give you only the best fare per airline to choose from, instead of cluttering up your mobile screen or SMS inbox with multiple messages.

Why are some airlines not showing in the results?

Paramount are currently not available as part of Cleartrip’s air search. If one of the other airlines is missing from your results, it could be missing because:

The airline does not fly between your origin and destination cities
There are no flights operated by that airline for the day you searched
No seats were available on that airline for your search
Cleartrip was unable to get a timely response from the airline’s systems
