A precursor website had established a growing following of loyal users
over several years. The new website has created increased interest
amongst travel operators and airlines in becoming advertising partners.
Mo Bulbrook, Cheapflights Head of International said today: Even
though the site was brought to you by whinging pommies, Cheapflights
believes Aussies & Kiwis couldn’t give a XXXX if it leads to better
flight prices. We are therefore very pleased to be able to introduce
Cheapflights.com.au to our family of sites.
Given our websites
popularity with travelers in Europe and North America, it is logical for
us to offer a price search and comparison site Down Under. We have
been very happy with the encouragement we have received from the travel
industry in Australia and New Zealand companies such as Expedia, Zuji,
Best Flights, Qantas Holidays, STA Travel and travel.com.au are all
publishing their deals with Cheapflights. In time, we look forward to
expanding the site to provide local consumers with even more travel
destinations and great fares to get there.
Chris Cuddy, Cheapflights CEO added: The introduction of our new
international technology platform last year has enabled us to
significantly accelerate the rollout of new websites and to ensure that
consumers have a broad choice of flights providers, inspirational travel
guides, and great deals.
Cheapflights is a committed consumer champion
on behalf of travelers worldwide. We will also continue to invest to
make Cheapflights.com.au a highly effective and independent marketing
partner to the travel industry including airlines, budget airlines,
consolidators, online travel agents and the longtail of small and
specialist high street travel agents.
Notes to Editors
Cheapflights Ltd.: www.cheapflights.co.uk
was launched in 1996. It pioneered the concept of online flight
price search and comparison and has been consistently profitable since
launch. It was the first UK dotcom to introduce payperclick in 2000,
which helped to transform online advertising.
Cheapflights does not sell
tickets but publishes flight deals from airlines, budget airlines,
online travel agents and the long tail of other specialist flight deal
providers. It launched its US site www.cheapflights.com
in May 2003, which has rapidly grown and which now provides half
of Cheapflights’ millions of monthly visits by consumers. Its Canadian
site www.cheapflights.ca
which was launched in April 2007 is already enjoying traffic of
over 300,000 monthly visits. The first nonEnglish language site www.cheapflug.de
was “light” launched in Germany in October 2008. Cheapflights’
main European and North American sites each provide consumers with
rapid, easy to use comparisons of about 1 million flight deals daily
from the broadest online selection of travel operators. The sites are
valued by travel industry advertisers as a neutral, hightraffic source
of quality highconversion consumer leads which last year resulted in an
estimated US$ 1.8 billion in ticket sales to its advertising partners.
Cheapflights’ status as an independent online travel price search and
comparison and travel news site, together with its free optin
subscriber newsletters makes it a natural starting point for finding
travel deals and uptodate travel industry information.
