To kickstart 2026 and welcome the new year with fervour, Cleartrip has launched the Long Weekend Tracker, an industry-first travel-planning feature that maps all long weekends in 2026 directly onto Google Calendar. This year-long campaign aims to remind people to plan trips early and look forward to their next escape. 

Everyone loves to romanticise long weekends, but they often pass by unplanned. Cleartrip changes this by hacking trip planning at the source, with one of the world’s most-used productivity apps, usually reserved for meetings, deadlines and work. By integrating long weekends into Google Calendar and sending reminders two to three weeks in advance, Cleartrip reminds people that taking a break matters equally.

By owning long weekends as a planning trigger, Cleartrip is encouraging travellers to think ahead about both short breaks and longer escapes, domestic and international alike. The Tracker turns each long weekend into a timely nudge to explore travel possibilities, whether that means booking a quick bus trip, a short-haul flight, or planning stays well in advance. 

With direct Cleartrip links embedded subtly within the calendar event descriptions, travellers can move seamlessly from discovery to booking with just a tap. This thoughtful integration ensures Cleartrip stays present at the very moment travel intent forms, building stronger consideration across flights, buses and hotels, while making holiday planning feel effortless and intuitive.

FYI: March 2026 has the highest number of long weekends, so it might be a good idea to start planning now.

Govind Bansal, Head of Marketing, Cleartrip says, “We want travel to stay on your mind all year, not just when leaves pile up or life becomes unbearable. By integrating smart planning into a weekly routine, this campaign aims to change the behaviour around long weekends and reminds everyone to plan ahead. Through timely reminders, we will effectively become that gentle alarm all through 2026, prompting people to pause, plan, and take a break. Even if travellers forget, Cleartrip won’t, because we won’t let you escape a great escape from your daily routine.”
