KLM OTA Price Comparison Case Study: MMT vs EMT vs Google Flights

OTA Price Comparison for KLM — MakeMyTrip vs EaseMyTrip vs Google Flights vs Skyscanner

OTAs rarely show the same price for the same flight — especially for global carriers like KLM. These variations come from markups, convenience fees, currency rules, promo discounting, and even API refresh timing. For travelers this creates confusion, and for travel companies it creates revenue leakage.

This case study shows how a leading travel platform used Actowiz Solutions' real-time airline fare scraping system to identify price discrepancies for KLM flights across four major OTAs.

The Problem

A European OTA was noticing sudden drops in booking margins for selected KLM routes. Their customers also complained:

"Google Flights shows cheaper prices."
"Skyscanner is lower than MMT."
"EaseMyTrip shows random extra charges."

The OTA needed transparent, real-time data to understand how different platforms were pricing the same KLM flight.

They approached Actowiz Solutions for a detailed POC.

The Approach — Real-Time Multi-Platform Scraping

Actowiz Solutions deployed its high-frequency monitoring engine to track fares across:

KLM Official Website
MakeMyTrip
EaseMyTrip
Google Flights
Skyscanner

Every 15 minutes, the system captured:

Base fare
Final payable fare
Currency
Taxes & convenience fees
Promo codes
LCCF (low-cost carrier fee)
API lag price shifts
Mobile app vs web variation

Tracking was done for 7 days across 3 routes:

Amsterdam → Delhi
Amsterdam → Dubai
Amsterdam → New York

Sample Data — Average 7-Day Price Comparison (AMS → DEL)

Currency: USD

Platform	Base Fare	Final Price	Difference vs KLM
KLM Website	$582	$590	—
MakeMyTrip (MMT)	$596	$612	+$22
EaseMyTrip (EMT)	$587	$601	+$11
Google Flights	$580	$588	-$2
Skyscanner	$583	$597	+$7

Key Insight

Google Flights stayed the closest to KLM's official price.

MMT consistently added higher convenience fees.

Price Instability Snapshot – 24 Hours (AMS → DXB)

Time	KLM	MMT	EMT	Google Flights	Skyscanner
10:00	$462	$485	$476	$460	$468
13:00	$479	$499	$492	$474	$481
17:00	$455	$478	$469	$452	$461
22:00	$472	$498	$485	$464	$474

Key Insight

Prices moved 7–12 times in 24 hours, but the gap between OTAs remained constant.

MMT showed the highest markups every time.

Why These Differences Occur

1. Platform-specific markups

MMT adds dynamic convenience fees.

2. Currency rounding differences

Google Flights updates quicker than OTAs.

3. Refresh latency

Skyscanner depends on partner API speeds.

4. Promo codes

EaseMyTrip applies occasional “app-only” coupons.

5. A/B testing

OTAs show different prices to different users based on location and browser history.

Actowiz Solutions captured all patterns automatically.
