MakeMyTrip Long Weekend Sale 2026: Up to 40% Off, Till September 5

MakeMyTrip's Escape and Recharge Long Weekend Sale signboard over the sea, a Phu Quoc cable car and a Goa resort pool on green panels

MakeMyTrip has hung an "Escape & Recharge Long Weekend Sale" board over its offers wall — up to 40% off flights, hotels, packages, buses, cabs and trains, running until 5 September 2026, aimed squarely at the Ganesh Chaturthi long weekend. But the sale is only the loudest of 104 live offers we counted on the wall on 26 August: behind it sit a hotel-chain rack with Oyo at up to 60% and ITC at 30%, AirAsia fare sales with Malaysia from Rs. 9,429, a Raksha Bandhan travel-home offer, and a 19-card bank wall. This page sorts the whole board by what expires first.

Update log:
26 Aug 2026 — first published. 104 trending offers plus 9 upcoming read from the rendered offers wall today. Headline event: Escape & Recharge Long Weekend Sale, up to 40% off, ends 5 September. Hotel-chain deals (Oyo, Sarovar, Taj, Ginger, Lords, ITC, LaLiT) end 28-31 August. Rakhi travel offer ends 30 August. We re-check on refresh cycles and log changes here.

The Long Weekend Sale: What 'Up to 40%' Splits Into

The Escape & Recharge sale is one umbrella over per-category offers, all expiring 5 September 2026. One wall coupon activates the umbrella discount — we keep the live, verified version behind the reveal on our MakeMyTrip coupons page — and the category caps break down like this:

CategoryLong-weekend offerExpires
Flights, stays, packages & moreUp to 40% off5 Sep
Outstation cabsUp to Rs. 1,000 off5 Sep
BusesUp to Rs. 300 off5 Sep
Trains (Alternate Trip Plan)Up to Rs. 500 off5 Sep
Rakhi special — buses, cabs & flights homeUp to Rs. 1,000 off30 Aug
Why the 5 September date matters: the window is built to cover bookings for the Ganesh Chaturthi long weekend and the string of festival breaks behind it. The discount applies when you book, not when you travel — so a December trip booked this week still rides the sale.

The Hotel-Chain Rack Ends First: 28-31 August

The shortest fuses on the wall are the branded hotel deals. Two expire 28 August; the rest die with the month:

ChainOfferExpires
Oyo HotelsUp to 60% off (select properties)31 Aug
Sarovar Hotels & ResortsUp to 40% off31 Aug
The LaLiTUp to 35% off28 Aug
ITC Hotels30% off + up to 20% off food & beverages28 Aug
Taj (breakfast-inclusive stays)Flat 15% off31 Aug
Ginger HotelsFlat 15% off31 Aug
Lords Hotels & ResortsExtra 10% off31 Aug

The spread is the story: the same wall covers a Rs. 1,500 Oyo room and an ITC Grand with a food discount attached. The ITC and LaLiT rows are the ones to move on — both close 28 August, and luxury-chain discounts on MakeMyTrip rarely hold past their printed date. Our flagship-hotels guide maps which premium properties are worth these percentages.

Airline Fare Sales Riding the Same Window

Six airline promotions share the wall, and three are hard fare sales by AirAsia: Malaysia from Rs. 9,429 and Japan from Rs. 22,990 (both to 31 August), and Thailand from Rs. 12,850 (to 8 September). Etihad is running up to 20% off economy and business fares to 3 September, IndiGo has flat 8% off business-class fares to 31 August, and there are baggage sweeteners — 40 kg on flydubai one-way value fares, and free extra allowance for students flying Air Astana to Bishkek. For a Southeast Asia winter trip, the AirAsia floors plus the long-weekend hotel discount is the strongest combination on the board.

The Standing Discounts and the Bank Wall

Under the event layer, MakeMyTrip's evergreen cluster keeps running: up to 35% off with interest-free EMI on flights, hotels and packages (several cards in this family expire 31 August, others run to December), flat 8-10% off business-class fares, and a students' deal at up to 30% off international trips to 31 August. The bank wall held 19 offers on our read — the named anchors are 6% extra savings with the MakeMyTrip ICICI credit card and up to 15% off flights and hotels on IndusInd debit cards, with SBI, Axis, Kotak, Yes Bank and J&K Bank cards carrying the rotating EMI and instant-discount slots. Bank discounts apply at payment, on top of wall pricing — details of the ICICI card economics are in our MakeMyTrip ICICI offer explainer.

Reading the Wall Like a Regular

  • Every asterisk is a details page. "Up to" caps, minimum booking values and blackout dates live behind the View Details link on each card — the wall text is the headline, not the terms.
  • Wall coupon + bank card is the real stack. The category coupon prices the booking; the bank instant discount or EMI saving lands at payment. The two combine; two wall coupons do not.
  • Expiry timers are real. Cards on the wall rotate hourly ("expires in 01h") alongside dated ones — if a specific deal matters, book it, don't bookmark it.
  • Pilgrimage corridor: a separate up-to-40% rack on buses, cabs, trains and stays to sacred destinations runs longer, to 11 September.
  • MMTBLACK members get their own train and bus slots (up to Rs. 500 off Alternate Trip Plans) — check the wall while logged in, since member cards only render on your account.

FAQs

What is the MakeMyTrip Long Weekend Sale and when does it end?
The Escape & Recharge Long Weekend Sale is MakeMyTrip's event for the Ganesh Chaturthi long-weekend window: up to 40% off flights, hotels, packages, buses, cabs and trains, live on makemytrip.com/offers until 5 September 2026. Category caps differ — up to Rs. 1,000 off outstation cabs, Rs. 300 off buses and Rs. 500 off train Alternate Trip Plans. The discount applies to bookings made in the window; travel dates can be later.
Which MakeMyTrip hotel offers end this week?
The branded-chain deals close first: ITC Hotels (30% off plus up to 20% off food) and The LaLiT (up to 35%) expire 28 August 2026, while Oyo (up to 60% on select properties), Sarovar (up to 40%), Taj breakfast-inclusive stays (flat 15%), Ginger (flat 15%) and Lords (extra 10%) run to 31 August. All were live on the offers wall on 26 August.
Do MakeMyTrip coupons stack with bank offers?
Yes, in one specific shape: a wall coupon sets the booking price, and a bank instant discount or interest-free EMI benefit applies separately at the payment step. What does not work is stacking two wall coupons on one booking. The bank wall carried 19 offers on our read, anchored by 6% savings on the MakeMyTrip ICICI credit card and up to 15% off with IndusInd debit cards.
What are the cheapest international flights in the current MakeMyTrip sale?
The AirAsia fare sales on the wall list Malaysia from Rs. 9,429 and Japan from Rs. 22,990 (both bookable to 31 August 2026), and Thailand from Rs. 12,850 (to 8 September). Etihad adds up to 20% off economy and business fares until 3 September. Fares are starting prices on select routes and dates — the booking screen is the final authority.
Is there a MakeMyTrip offer for Raksha Bandhan travel?
Yes — a "Visit Home This Rakshabandhan" offer gives up to Rs. 1,000 off on buses, cabs and flights, valid until 30 August 2026. It sits separately from the Long Weekend Sale, so travellers heading home for Rakhi and away for the long weekend are looking at two different cards on the wall.
