Not only are Indians opting more for international travel destinations, but also are ahead of others when it comes to using technology while flying abroad, according to an Expedia survey.
From online hotel check-ins to sharing their flight experiences via social media, to recording bad airline experience — all that and more — Indians are increasingly shifting to technology for services, reports The Economic Times.
As much as 67 percent Indians check in online, taking India to number 7 spot globally. And when it comes to mobile check-in, the country ranks number one at 18 percent, said Manmeet Ahluwalia, the marketing head for brand Expedia in India.
For the number of people using the boarding pass on a mobile device, India stood second with Thailand taking the top spot.
Indians were ranked No.2 for recording bad airline experiences on their smartphone cameras.
Around 34 percent Indians engaging with airlines over social media about their travel experiences while at the airport, at the gate or on the plane and 72 percent of them listen to music or podcasts, taking India to rank number one.
The country ranks No.2 for playing video games in flights at 37 percent.
