AirlineTickets.org Launches Airline Reviews

Dec. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Since Airlinetickets.org went online six short months ago, it has been providing timely and relevant insider information about air travel and the airline industry.  The site’s blog gives travelers insights that can help them understand how the airline business works and show them how to take advantage of promotions and perks and how to streamline their travels.  Now, Airlinetickets.org is announcing the launch of another resource.  Before the end of the year, the site will be publishing extensive airline reviews of all the major airlines in the world.            

Major travel web sites are supposed to make buying airline tickets, arranging hotels and renting cars more convenient.  But these sites are built strictly to sell tickets, not to provide information that could make the process easier and help travelers feel more confident about their purchases.  Searching through Travelocity and Expedia, travelers can find the lowest prices on tickets, but that’s about it.  These sites don’t even include information about extra fees that could make the “cheapest option” more expensive than the other choices.  

That’s where Airlineticket.org comes in.  The site seeks to provide what the major players in the online travel game don’t: information and data that take the mystery out of purchasing airline tickets.  

Airlinetickets.org allows would-be travelers to personalize their choices beyond the usual variables of price, date and destination.  It provides the information that can help travelers focus their airline search on the specific qualities that are important to them.  

The newly published airline reviews will not only include major domestic airlines based in the US.  Every major airline in the world will be put under the microscope, as will important low cost carriers and regional airlines.  It only makes sense to include international airlines: travelers headed to different continents and unknown lands are in as much need of this type of basic information than people traveling across the US.  

Would-be fliers visiting Airlineticeket.org will be in search of information that they can use to personalize their travel plans, whether they are flying across the ocean or across the state.  The site rates each airline for different types of travelers.  Flying families would not want to look at an airline review aimed at business travelers.  Likewise, business road warriors would have no use for a review that is tailored for the budget travel demographic.  What about novice travelers who are already overwhelmed by the prospect of flying?  Airlinetickets.org rates each airline depending on their user-friendliness and ability to make the journey easier for new fliers.  The site’s goal in providing these unique ratings for each of these different demographics (as well as others), is to give would-be passengers the tools to choose the airline that is the best fit for them.

There is no shortage of rating systems out there.  Most offer a generic rating and leave readers to figure out the details…on a different web site.  Airlinetickets.org, along with giving the specialized rating mentioned above, provides information on specific aspects of each airline.  The details include food choices and food quality, the types of the in-flight entertainment on offer and average leg room.  This data allows fliers to focus even more on the variables that are most important to them.  

Anyone who has flown in the past few years knows that the actual price of a flight can be significantly more than the price tag on the ticket.  Airlinetickets.org seems to be very aware of this: their reviews include facts about airline pricing for everything from food and checked baggage to information about luggage weight limits and excess baggage fees.  So, unlike with major ticket booking sites, Airlinetickets.org makes it possible to figure out how much the journey will cost in total (not just the price of the ticket).      

Each review has a section on frequent flier miles and which airlines have the best loyalty programs.  Most fliers are completely unaware of frequent flier programs and strategies for maximizing miles.  Airlinetickets.org’s reviews include a section about each airline’s frequent flier program.

By launching these reviews, airlinetickets.org is hoping to give users the information that they need to make an informed, personalized ticket purchase
