Booking.com extends its lead to 93.3% as the citation pool tilts further away from Indian challengers.

After yesterday's opening reading at 88%, Booking.com pushes another 5.3 points higher to 93.3% SoV — and now holds 100% SoV on Gemini, a clean sweep across all 50 prompts on that surface.

MakeMyTrip (+4.0 pts to 72.7%) and ixigo (+4.7 to 48%) move with it but lose ground in relative terms; the Booking-vs-MakeMyTrip gap widens from 19.3 pp to 20.6 pp.

The structural driver is the citation pool: ixigo.com jumps from 14 → 24 cites on ChatGPT, play.google.com app-store listings climb 36 → 46, and a fresh cluster of corporate-travel and review domains navan.comhappay.comrippling.comcoaxsoft.comeasemydeal.com all newly cite Booking.com on Gemini.

EaseMyTrip is the only meaningful rank story below the top three — it climbs from rank 9 to rank 6 on ChatGPT — but its overall SoV slips 1.3 pts.

Day two confirms what day one hinted at: this is a citation-pool problem, not a brand-awareness problem.

The Indian challengers own their direct-brand domains makemytrip.com is still the single most-cited source at 53 cites, but every third-party comparison list, app-store roundup, and corporate-travel review pulls the answer back toward Booking.com.

Gemini at 100% SoV is the cleanest illustration — when the engine reaches for B2B travel-management write-ups on navan.com or happay.com, there is no Indian challenger in the source set to surface.

For AEO teams at MakeMyTrip, ixigo and EaseMyTrip, the week's work is to land in the listicle corpus easemydeal.comhappyfares.intripzilla.instardrift.ai, not to push more brand-owned content. "Owning your homepage doesn't beat being in the third-party list — and Booking.com is winning the list."
