A COMPREHENSIVE AIRLINE TICKET BOOKING ENGINE
|
WCT's flight engine utilizes Travelocity's Flight NavigatorSM technology, which empowers your customers with the ability to execute advanced searches, scan fares and seat availability, compare dates, airlines and airports, and much more.
|
|
FEATURES OF THE FLIGHT BOOKING ENGINE:
|
- Number of Seats Left: Your customers are informed when there are three or fewer seats available at the quoted price on a particular flight, alerting them that a fare may no longer be available soon
- Fare Notes: Travelers will be given more valuable flight-specific information than ever before - including flight, airline, fare and deals information -- allowing them to make more informed decisions before purchasing their flight
- Multiple Airports: Travelers can select multiple nearby airports to search and receive up to nine different departing and returning combinations to help identify the best price and flight options to meet their needs
- Date Shuffler: Customers can search up to three days before and/or after the requested departure and arrival dates to find the cheapest available flight and date combination, including an additional "plus one-day" scrolling grid and calendar display of the dates considered
- Alternate Dates: The engine automatically searches and finds fares for nearby date combinations when lower prices are available on those dates
- Seat Maps: Customers can view available seats before booking a flight, giving them the option to view their preferred seat location or even to choose another flight based on their seat preferences

PRIVATE-BRANDED BOOKING FROM END TO END
|
The new air booking interface is private-branded throughout the entire booking experience. Your custom header (with your website's name, logo, et cetera) appears on every page, and your website name also appears on the interstitial page as the flight engine searches for fares. The confirmation page and e-mail are branded with your site's name as well. As a WCT partner, you can also customize the air interface to seamlessly match your website's look and feel using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which are available in our Partner Support Center.

FLIGHT HOME PAGE OPTIONS
|
As a WCT partner, you may choose the Flight Home Page configuration that best suits your business model. The first option is the "Flight Front Door" option with a standard flight search box allowing round-trip, one-way and multi-destination searches. It also serves as a jump page to popular travel destinations, which contain sample airfares as well as a snapshot of general information about the destination. The pages also contains links to "Web Fares" being offered by select major carriers, and the Travel Tools box with convenient options to immediately review reservations, locate an airport, check in online (depending upon the airline), and more.
The second option available is an Advanced Search form, which is recommended for destination and/or niche-specific sites that do not merchandise the multiple destinations presented. It allows your customer to enter exact dates or search with flexible dates to secure the best price options, enter the number and ages of travelers, and specify specific travel preferences such as airline, class of service and fare type.
