Indian Millennials are increasingly traveling the world and showing keen interest in exploring various destinations across the globe. Scoot, the low-cost arm of Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group, has identified that about 60% of its travellers from India this year are millennials.
Based on its booking data, Scoot has identified some statistics on budget travel patterns of Indian millennials. Solo trips continue to be the most popular mode of travel for Indian millennials, be it for leisure or work. They make up about 65% of bookings this year and last year, and Australia (aside from Singapore) is the top choice for solitary wanderers, with Melbourne and Sydney topping the charts.
True to their tech savvy nature, nearly 60% of Indian millennials make their flight bookings online. In fact, Scoot is seeing growth in bookings made directly on the Scoot website by Indian millennials. This might reflect a growing preference by travellers to personalise their travel experience through the full range of ancillary options available, and the advantages of managing their bookings directly with the airline.
