Travelocity Unveils Features for Uncovering Travel Bargains Low-Fare Directory and E-Ticketing Available
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Searching for the best deals on air fares and hotel accommodations is easier than ever with new features from Travelocity, The SABRE Group's (NYSE: TSG) travel Web site at http://www.travelocity.com . The site now offers a low-fare directory, consolidator fares and enhanced hotel listings with ratings and reviews. Plus, Travelocity offers electronic ticketing or "e-ticketing" for more airlines than any other travel site.
"One of the questions frequently asked by online travelers is 'How do I find the best deals?' Travelocity has always been a one-stop site for bargain travel shoppers. Searching for deals is even easier with the new low-fare directory, Today's Lowest Fares, located on the homepage," said Terry Jones, CIO of The SABRE Group and president of SABRE Interactive. "In just a few steps, you can find the lowest fares to major cities, book your flight, and pay for your ticket online. For an added convenience, online planners can travel ticketless with our new e-ticketing capabilities."
Many of the new Travelocity features have been developed in response to specific customer requests. "We're pleased to offer an improved product that helps our customers save both time and money," said Jones.
Details on new features:
Today's Lowest Fares -- A directory on the homepage highlights the lowest
fares for multiple flights from the 14 most popular cities booked by
Travelocity customers. A direct link is provided to the Travelocity Three
Best Itineraries section for immediate booking. Airfare comparisons are
updated three times daily to ensure that the lowest fares are shown. An
animated graphic displays the fares with the greatest price reductions.
Electronic Ticketing -- Travelocity offers e-ticketing for American
Airlines, America West Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines,
Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Trans World Airlines, United
Airlines and US Airways. E-ticketing on Alaska Airlines will be available
starting November 4. Additional airlines will be added in the future.
Consolidator Fares -- Travelocity has teamed up with one of the top
distributors of consolidator fares on the Internet. Pre-purchased in bulk
by agencies, these fares are sold back to travelers at discounted rates.
Additional sources of consolidator fares will be added in the coming
months.
Enhanced Hotels -- A redesign of the hotel availability page integrates
photographs and location maps. Soon, reviews from Reed Star Guide
Service's Hotel Review will be included. This exclusive feature will
provide more than 10,000 rankings and reviews covering hotels worldwide.
