a cursory assessment of online travel positioning [2 of 2]

Conclusions


The speed with which the Internet has refocused marketing concerns has been breathtaking in comparison to previous models and their relationship to marketing.

Among the notables not yet acknowledged is that Air India is a wholly owned airline in its own right. Consistent with that, the website look and feel seems no different than the website for Continental or Delta airlines.

4lowfare and india-travel.com/ may be indigenously Indian in their design (for they do not immediately remind of any US domestic site of similar caliber). This insight connects to this writers highest metric choices being a tie for the sites most familiar in feel and appearance.

One understands that such sites have many moving parts, a tremendous amount of information to organize, make available and make it extremely easy to navigate. This may seem harsh criticism and I have yet to find the site that accomplishes so much with seemingly so little, whilst still communicating elegance and sophistication (as is this writers estimation of that which is called for).

  1. Ethiopian airlines change flight policy . Flight change policy is the best policy that is very easy to understand and implement as well. If you want to change your flight details or cancel your flights due to unavoidable circumstances then the services provided in Ethiopian Airlines policy can be very useful and effective. The details of flights that are booked can be changed only one time without paying any additional costs. The services provided by the airlines are really very nice and their assistance is just unbeatable.
