IRCTC TICKET BookingIf you are planning to travel in these new trains, then read on to find out the top 5 tips that will help you get a confirmed seat and avoid the rush:
1. Travel on the weekdays: Plan your journey on a weekday (Monday-Thursday). This way, there is a higher chance of you getting a confirmed ticket since rush in trains increases on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You can easily check the schedule of all new trains on ixigo!
2. Opt for OTP-less payment: Pay for your train booking with a payment method that does not require One-Time Password (OTP), such as UPI. It will save your time and help you get a confirmed ticket.
3. Log-in in advance: Passengers opting for tatkal booking must remember that the quota opens at 10 am for AC classes and at 11 am for sleeper classes one day before the journey. Therefore, make sure you are ready with all your details filled in before the quota opens up for your train. See the steps to make a tatkal reservation.
4. Use high-speed internet: It is very important to have access to high-speed internet while making a train booking. In case of slow internet, there are chances of the payment not processing, leading to booking failure. PRO TIP: Use the UPI payment option to make your train booking on ixigo and get a refund within minutes in case the booking fails.
5. Book a train with a higher Tatkal quota: Some important routes are always booked out. Thankfully, with the 80 new trains starting, passengers can now book tickets in another train for the same route. Ensure that the train you are trying to book has a high Tatkal quota to greatly increase your chance of getting a confirmed ticket!
