TripAdvisor announced they will let you know what’s really included in the price of your flight, including wifi, in-flight power ports, and the cost of getting more legroom.
TripAdvisor describes its redesign as a move to simplify what can be an enormously complicated shopping experience for those who book their own flights, as a growing number of business travelers do. A given search result will show all available flights, with fare comparisons and a breakdown, by flight segment, of amenities and services on a particular airplane.
Mr. Saltzburg said: “Customers will have transparency while they’re making a booking decision between Flight A and Flight B, which might be the same cost. Are extra-legroom seats available for sale? That’s clearly indicated on the initial results page.â€
How much does this make a difference for you?
I find the travel community runs into two camps. Â Either how do I travel for as cheap as possible, or how do I get first class experiences for cheap.
This seems to be catering towards another camp–how do I maximize the benefits I get for the amount I spend?
But how about you? Â Do you take amenities into consideration when you book, or do you book the cheapest? Â Or the airline you are loyal to? Â Does wifi every make or break your decision?
