ZUJI the only online travel site to show Qantas domestic, Virgin Blue and Jetstar Fares in price-comparison format
Announcement posted by ZUJI 22 Apr 2004
Asia Pacific?s leading online travel company ZUJI today announced that it is the first and only online travel site in Australia to offer Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar domestic fares in an integrated online display.
In a highly sophisticated technology enhancement ZUJI now accesses all three major Australian domestic airlines to source available seats and flight information.
ZUJI then presents this information with consumers and then offers the ability for consumers to book the flight in real time, safely and security online with ZUJI up to 6 hours before flight departure.
?By showing travellers a comprehensive range of fare choices for Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar, ZUJI has made the need to visit different websites to check domestic travel options pass,? said Ms Jo O?Brien, General Manager, ZUJI Australia.
People who log onto ZUJI (www.zuji.com.au) can now search, see available seats and book domestic flights from Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar carriers online with ZUJI. ZUJI?s integrated fare option screen allows travellers to price check the lowest fare on any of the three airlines on one site.
?ZUJI offers the only place to compare ?apples-with-apples? domestic flights quickly and easily with one search. This saves consumers time, reduces the hassle-factor of jumping between sites and, we believe, is a much better alternative for customers than simply providing site ?buttons? to click through to find fares.
?ZUJI is absolutely leading the industry with this new service, making us the most convenient place for travellers to go for comprehensive domestic fare choices and great value travel.
?Our promise to the Australian traveller is that we do not charge service or booking fees. With our comprehensive range of domestic and international hotel, flight and car hire products, great a prices and reliability, there?s no need for travellers visit anyone but ZUJI to find great travel deals and book the trip that meets their specific needs and budget,? said Ms O?Brien.
ZUJI?s domestic fare and other regular enhancements do not come at any additional cost to Australian travellers as ZUJI? operates on a low cost structures as a result of high automation of travel search and booking processes. ZUJI?s regional scale allows it to spread the cost of site and product enhancements across a wide geographic market, and sees such enhancements as part-and-parcel of continuing to offer the best available online travel booking service in Asia Pacific.
?Our customers have told us they like to book travel online because it?s fast, easy and convenient,? said Ms O?Brien. ?Nearly 98% of our customers already choose e-tickets for domestic travel for exactly the same reasons.
?With the launch of our new integrated display and our transition to full domestic e-ticketing, our customers can now be in the sky within six hours of making a domestic booking. With the range of fares, options and features we now offer, ZUJI is truly the first and last stop for domestic travel in Australia,? said Ms O?Brien.
