You think of Tatkaal, you think of trains. But Cleartrip is here to claim the term for flights and hotels too, with the launch of Cleartrip Tatkaal.
Cleartrip Tatkaal is here to disrupt the travel industry with (don’t say it, don’t say it) an unprecedented offer (damn we said it). So, what’s the offer?
Flat 50% off on all domestic flights and hotels, everyday at 12 noon.
You are probably waiting for the catch, but that’s the best part – there is no catch. It is genuinely half price, and it is applicable on all domestic flights and hotels. For a nation that loves a good deal, this is some really good news, and that is exactly what the campaign proposition is :
Ab isse achhi kya good news?
For years, “good news” has been widely used as a synonym for whenever a baby is born in a family. Cleartrip takes this insight and turns it on its head in this ad.
In the world of startups, there’s only one “good news” – when you finally receive funding and you are ready to take on the world. But with Cleartrip Tatkaal in the frame, there’s always better “good news” around the corner.
Cleartrip’s proposition is simple and straightforward. It doesn’t confuse the user with complicated terms and conditions, and it doesn’t hide anything. What you see, is what you get.

Not convinced?
Yes, the offer does sound too good to be true. In fact, people voiced their concerns as well, but Cleartrip was quick to respond to the skepticism, re-assuring everyone.
@tokotadh32– It's unfortunate you think it's fake. We can assure you , you'll get flat 50% off any domestic flight if you're able to book before they run out at 12 noon daily. Please check the link for details – https://t.co/ydrm6iNMLn
