Anyone done ticket booking in IRCTC with "Connecting Journey Booking" option?

score:2

Accepted answer

Yes, I used "Connecting Journey Option" from IRCTC.

  1. Does it calculate telescopic distance? No, This facility is just to provide you the refund incase you missed the connecting train. You still have 2-PNR tickets but linked. telescopic distance -> is for single PNR ticket with extended travel to other station.

  2. What things must be kept in mind when booking the first ticket so that we can make use of this facility/option? -> Nothing. Steps are simple: Book 1st ticket as usual -> After booking 1st ticket, note down the PNR number -> Go to Trains tab, click on β€œConnecting Journey booking” -> Search for 2nd train availability -> click on 'Book now' -> Then it will ask you the PNR of 1st ticket (this step is for validation that if you are eligible for Connecting Journey booking or not) -> Enter 1st ticket PNR number -> Submit -> Then follow regular ticket booking steps.

  3. Is this applicable only for non-AC classes? -> This is applicable for all Reservation classes, AC & non-AC.

Hope it helps for you. :)
