P
eople who like to travel to several city and country destinations on one itinerary know that booking their flights for these trips can be a hassle.
Imagine that you are interested in visiting several adjacent Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea, within one whole trip. Or maybe you want to cover different cities within one country – say Beijing and Shanghai in China. You have to use different booking IDs to book the different airplane tickets.
Arguably, these procedures make administrative matters more complicated for you. The administrative matters for airplane ticket payments will get even more complicated if you, for example, plan a tour across Europe. Imagine how many booking IDs you have to collect for your flights and how many transactions you have to complete to pay for all your bookings in that case.
However, there is a good news for discerning travelers.
With Indonesians’ increasing interest and economic power for exploring different countries and cities in their travels, online travel agency Traveloka now makes it easier for you to plan these multidestination trips by allowing you to use a single booking ID covering your entire trip, applicable to both leisure and business travels.
Traveloka is doing this in response to the increasing demands for travel, both for leisure and business purposes, among Indonesians this year. Destinations popular among Indonesians are Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom.
More than ever, travelers now like to hop from one place to another in their journeys, like for instance covering Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in Japan, Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Paris in France while traveling Europe, among many other examples.
You can also take advantage of the single booking ID by adding stopovers for a few days in your transit cities, thus maximizing your traveling experiences. For instance, if you would like to go to London, England, on Turkish Airlines, instead of waiting in the airport for a few hours, you can go and explore Istanbul by stopping over there for several days.
Traveloka is the first online travel agency from Indonesia that offers such practicality, through which you can book multiple flights in one transaction and discover more destinations that way. As a leading flight booking platform in Indonesia, Traveloka now empowers you to explore more places in a more convenient way by purchasing multiple flights in one transaction.
Those who would like to cover Tokyo and Osaka in their Japanese trip, for instance, can pay for their flights under one single ID through one transaction by entering Japan in Tokyo and exiting from Osaka. Therefore, you can book the flights for your Indonesia-Tokyo and Osaka-Indonesia trip under a single booking ID.
Traveloka’s existing system, however, can allow customers to select two flights only in their journeys (like the example stated above), but shortly the online travel agency will open to more flights as it is developing its system further to allow an easier booking experience through one-stop transactions.
Customers can still enjoy Traveloka’s smart combo offers with multi-city features, which generously offer affordable fares for avid travelers. These features can be accessed with the Traveloka App (minimum version 3.9), as well as on desktop computers.
