So this is something I already warned you about, the platform Fee. I am assuming that you were able to download and install the Xpedia application on your android phone. Can you validate the accessibility of the application on android please?

All the key elements, fields, and buttons were well-labeled, allowing for independent navigation and transaction completion. • Caveat: They did charge a platform fee of around INR 250 per booking. • Current Status: Since my last use, the application has likely updated many times, and accessibility can fluctuate. While Expedia has a well-documented and strong commitment to digital accessibility (following WCAG 2.2 AA standards), it would be best to get an up-to-date test from a current user. Would any other members of AccessIndia please weigh in with their most recent experiences using popular booking platforms in India (e.g., MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Cleartrip, or the direct airline apps) with a screen reader like NVDA, JAWS, or TalkBack/VoiceOver? Best regards for your independent travels!
