Search journeys, not tickets.

When the through train is waitlisted, or a flight plus a train is faster — one search.

Train and flight, as one journey.

On a long corridor, flying part of the way is often the faster door-to-door answer. RailRoute ranks it beside the direct trains.

How train and flight journeys are compared

Stop opening five travel apps.

IRCTC for seats, an airline for the flight, a map for the change — or one search that ranks them together.

When the through train is waitlisted.

A split, a second train, an earlier station — ordinary IRCTC tickets, ranked beside the sold-out through booking.
