Booking.com extended its lead to 86.8% in Flight and Hotel OTAs, driven by a 93.8% Gemini citation rate, while ixigo shed 3.9% concentrated in AI Mode where it fell to 33.3%. Booking.com gained 3.1% to 86.8% from the previous edition's 83.7%, with the gain most pronounced on Gemini (93.8%, rank 1), while ChatGPT sits at 77.1% and AI Mode at 89.6%. MakeMyTrip fell 2% to 66.7%. ixigo is the biggest mover at -3.9% to 40.3%; the engine split shows the loss is most pronounced on AI Mode (33.3%, rank 3) against a stronger ChatGPT position (47.9%, rank 3), suggesting AI Mode's retrieval for travel queries is increasingly favoring OTAs with broader global inventory at the expense of domestic-flight-comparison platforms. A very large source-pool expansion occurred, with 68-plus new domains entering, including airbnb.com, hoteltonight.com, hopper.com, and dozens of India-specific tour-operator sites such as planmytour.com, touron.in, keralaholidays.com, and tropertours.in. These new domains skew toward hotel-specific and tour-package content, which structurally favors Booking.com's category breadth over domestic flight-booking specialists.

Editor's note

20 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

Booking.com extended its lead to 86.8% in Flight and Hotel OTAs, driven by a 93.8% Gemini citation rate, while ixigo shed 3.9% concentrated in AI Mode where it fell to 33.3%.

The move

Booking.com gained **3.1%** to **86.8%** from the previous edition's **83.7%**, with the gain most pronounced on Gemini (**93.8%**, rank 1), while ChatGPT sits at **77.1%** and AI Mode at **89.6%**.

MakeMyTrip fell **2%** to **66.7%**. ixigo is the biggest mover at -**3.9%** to **40.3%**; the engine split shows the loss is most pronounced on AI Mode (**33.3%**, rank 3) against a stronger ChatGPT position (**47.9%**, rank 3), suggesting AI Mode's retrieval for travel queries is increasingly favoring OTAs with broader global inventory at the expense of domestic-flight-comparison platforms.

A very large source-pool expansion occurred, with 68-plus new domains entering, including airbnb.com, hoteltonight.com, hopper.com, and dozens of India-specific tour-operator sites such as planmytour.com, touron.in, keralaholidays.com, and tropertours.in.

These new domains skew toward hotel-specific and tour-package content, which structurally favors Booking.com's category breadth over domestic flight-booking specialists.

What it means

Booking.com's lead at **86.8%** puts the vertical at the top of the competitive band, approaching near-locked territory; another 3 to **4%** gain over the next several editions would cross the **90%** threshold where practical differentiation for other brands becomes very difficult.

The Gemini-specific dominance at **93.8%** is worth isolating: if Booking.com has deep indexing in the types of structured content Gemini prioritizes for travel queries, competitors cannot close the gap through owned-content optimization alone without also targeting the third-party source layer.

The entry of hotel-specific platforms `airbnb.com` `hoteltonight.com` and India tour-operator sites signals that the query set is expanding beyond pure flight-OTA comparisons into accommodation and itinerary content; brands without coverage in that content register will see their citation density fall even if their flight-booking content remains well-indexed. ixigo's AI Mode-specific loss is the clearest actionable signal for that brand: structured AI Mode optimization including on-site schema and featured-snippet style summaries is the highest-priority surface given where the gap is concentrated.
