Goibibo.com has released a new international booking application with features such as: air craft layout, seat pitch information, alerts such as: late night flight and long lay overs; fare calendar and a sleuth of super refiners. The OTA has registered a growth of 200 per cent, year on year on its international air category. Dubai, Bangkok, London, Hong Kong and Singapore are the top five destinations.
The app allows users to see the aircraft layout, seat layout, seat pitch, facilities like entertainment, in-flight meals, baggage information such as size and weight of baggage. This makes the user more comfortable and confident while choosing the airline for his international travel.
Furthermore, a small icon is placed to inform the customer that the option is a late night flight. This helps in making an informed decision. In case of a flight with a layover, the app enables customers to choose the right option by highlighting the alert when booking a short or long layover.
The app also comes with a fare graph that gives consumers a 30 day option with prices. As a result, the consumer can choose dates where he gets lower fares. There are refiners which enables consumers to refine basis transit airports, time bands and more. For instance, for travel to US, the customer can choose Paris as an airport for connections.
