BA launch new online flight search and planning tool
08.04.11
British Airways has put TripSeeker, its new flight search tool, live on its website. It allows travellers to search for the flights and destinations by clicking anywhere on a world map and includes features such as:
- A setting for direct flights only
- the ability to set price limits
- choices for the month of the year and for minimum and maximum temperature
- selection options for travel class
- ability to pick ‘activities’ from categories: beaches, city break, family, luxury, and ski
- zoom shortcuts for particular regions
- ability to search for a particular city
As users choose various settings and categories, dots on the map appear or disappear, showing the locations that fit their criteria. They can then click on the location and get more information, such as total flight time, a description of the location, climate, and the lowest air fares for each month. Click ‘find’ on the destination, and it will bring up specific flights to choose, pricing information, and allow them to book and pay online.
The map portion of TripSeeker is powered by Google maps, which means the interface, particularly the zoom controls, will be familiar to most users. Links for more information about locations takes the users to British Airways’ Destination Guides, which includes more background information, activities to do when you visit, weather, airports, and more.
