Easy Trip Planners , operating under the brand name EaseMyTrip, has expanded its strategic partnership with HOI to introduce a complimentary airport meal service for travelers departing from Hyderabad, New Delhi, and Goa airports. This latest initiative builds upon their existing smart kiosk rewards program, further enhancing the pre-boarding experience for passengers.

Complimentary Meal Service: Addressing Airport Queue Frustrations

The new service directly tackles the challenge of long food court queues, which can exceed 30 minutes during peak hours. EaseMyTrip now enables passengers to pre-select their dining options as part of their flight booking journey, eliminating wait times and creating a more streamlined airport experience.

How the Enhanced Service Works

Upon completing their flight booking, travelers are guided to the HOI platform where they can choose their preferred food outlet, specific dish, and scheduled pickup time. The process captures flight and passenger details, ensuring meals are prepared for the designated pickup time. This eliminates the need to wait at kiosks or in queues, helping passengers save time and enjoy a more relaxed airport experience.

Existing Smart Kiosk Rewards Program Continues

Alongside the new complimentary meal service, EaseMyTrip's existing smart kiosk rewards program remains active. The program, which has already transformed the travel experience for over 5,000 passengers, continues to offer:

• Immediate ₹500 EaseMyTrip coupons for every kiosk order
• Monthly draws for ₹5,000 EaseMyTrip vouchers
• Contactless food-ordering capabilities

Executive Vision for Integrated Travel Experience

Rikant Pittie, Co-Founder and CEO of EaseMyTrip, commented on the enhanced initiative: "Time spent at airports often involves multiple small decisions before boarding. This complimentary pre-ordered meal offering, introduced in collaboration with HOI, is designed to simplify one such moment and make the experience feel more convenient. This initiative is part of our broader vision of building a unified travel ecosystem where services work together to make journeys smoother and more efficient."

Comprehensive Airport Services Ecosystem

The expanded partnership reinforces EaseMyTrip's commitment to delivering practical and thoughtful customer-first travel solutions. HOI's platform continues to offer comprehensive airport services including:

• Real-time flight tracking with high accuracy
• Intelligent baggage updates
• AI-powered passenger assistance
• Premium Meet & Greet services
• Duty-free integration

This complimentary meal offering at select airports reflects EaseMyTrip's focus on convenience, thoughtful design, and customer-led innovation, supporting travelers in starting their trips with greater ease while building a seamlessly connected travel experience from airport entry to departure.
