Rehlat allows customers to lock fare for flight bookings

Zawya

Found a fantastic flight deal, but not able to book it because plans are not confirmed yet? Rehlat, Middle East’s leading online travel agency addresses this scenario by bringing in “Price Lock” – an innovative feature that allows you to lock flight fare now and pay only when your plan is confirmed. Even if the fare increases, you still pay the locked fare only.

No matter how fast technology is evolving when it comes to payments, a majority of the Middle East population does not find it comfortable to confirm & pay their booking on one go — this is one of the many reasons why OTAs are adopting flexi-booking option. From easy payment plans to pay @ hotel to the latest “confirm now & pay later”, end users are offered varied payment modes to suit individual requirements.

Most of the travellers expect the following services too for a hassle free trip for them and their family, like holiday packages, cab facilities, destination information, travel inspirations, & much more.

He further confirms, “Rehlat has already started travel inspirations blog where users can read and learn about new destinations and cultures; we have seen a tremendous uptick in user engagement and response for this new channel.”

Bader Al Bader, president, Rehlat talks to TBMEs Charmaine Fernz on intricacies of setting up an OTA for the Middle East traveller, getting the right product mix and plans ahead…

The idea of venturing into the online space emerged when a family member faced problems while booking a personal trip. The outcome of the trip resulted in thought seeded for a year which began in 2011.

The advancements in technology witnessed many players enter the online travel space. However, Bader opines that there are two kinds of OTAs in the Middle East. The regular offline agencies who want to go online with a ready-made booking engine. In this case, it is easy to start but once launched, will the company be able to handle the demand, varying needs of customer service, developer issues and more so exponential growth? The other kind according to him are the serious OTAs, which is barely three to four in the Middle East region; Rehlat can safely be added to this category.
