Oneworld first to sell round-the-world web fares
SYDNEY – Oneworld has become the first in the travel industry to sell multi- airline, round-the-world air tickets on-line with its new internet booking tool for its oneworld Explorer fare.
This also makes oneworld the first global airline alliance to offer any of its public fares for sale through the web.
The new on-line booking tool is available now through oneworld.com.
The alliance’s member airlines will add it to their own websites or provide links from their internet sites to the oneworld.com facility – at www.oneworld.com/ow/flight-info/plan-and-book-your-itinerary
Oneworld Explorer enables passengers to travel around the globe using the flights of any of oneworld’s 10-member airline and 20 or so affiliates.
With the launch this new oneworld internet tool, customers or their travel agents can for the first time both plan their round-the-world itinerary and now book and pay for their tickets on-line.
The system has a number of special features to make it as simple as possible for customers to plan oneworld Explorer round-the-world trips.
As they build their itinerary – simply by clicking on destinations displayed on the alliance’s interactive map – the system automatically checks availability and displays only flights that have seats available for each route and date selected.
It also validates that the itinerary meets all the fare’s rules and
conditions – and then provides an instant price for the trip.
Once customers have finalised their itinerary – which can be of up to 16 sectors – they can pay on-line using a credit card and print out all the details.
The e-tickets for the entire trip are then sent to the customer by email.
