Most airline travel
booking websites offer a multitude of options. You can filter by origin and
destination airports, preferred airlines, class of flight, number of stopovers,
lowest price etc. None of them however tell you up-front what type of aircraft
you will be flying in. Until you are halfway through the booking process and go
through the flight details link in detail. But that is about to change with the
launch of a new website that caters exclusively to the A380.
Why
is this important?
The A380 is not just the
biggest passenger aircraft in operation. It has a host of other features that
make traveling in it a true experience of a lifetime. Consider these: Quieter
cabins, better leg room and comfortable features like double beds and spas! The
catch: only 13 airlines offer A380 flights and the travel is restricted to
about 55 cities worldwide.
The website exclusively
caters to those who want to fly on A380s. Never before was this option
available to most commercial travelers. Set up by the parent manufacturing
company, Airbus, the logic is understandable. The site makes it easier to
search for A380 specific routes and destinations. You are guided to a regular
booking site to make the actual booking though. The website also provides a
page with additional information about the A380 and a social wall featuring
social chatter about the A380 as well. Interesting effort!
So the next time you are
travelling to a destination that the A380 flies to you can check this site out.
I know I will. Sounds like a filter that may soon catch on? Your guess is as
good as mine!
