Cleartrip to provide Visa Denial Cover on international flight booking

Bengaluru, Sep 15 (BVI) International travellers, while booking flight tickets, generally have the nagging anxiety : “What if I don’t get the visa? I will lose the flight ticket booking amount.”

But, now there is a positive news in this regard.

Cleartrip, a Flipkart company, has announced a Visa Denial Cover scheme, under which customers can get full refund on their ticket in case they do not get the visa.

This industry-first feature comes at zero cost, said the company in a statement.

The announcement of the offer comes just ahead of the much-awaited The Big Billion Days (BBD) 2025.

“This Visa Denial Cover is designed to eliminate that by allowing customers to book anxiety-free, knowing that if their visa is rejected, they will get a full refund on their ticket,” the statement said.

“With the Visa Denial Cover, we are directly tackling one of the biggest anxieties that comes with booking an international trip. This new feature isn’t just about a refund; it’s about giving our customers the peace of mind, ensuring that planning a trip is exciting rather than anxiety-driven,” said Manjari Singhal, Chief Business and Growth Officer, Cleartrip.
