Travel Bundles:

When we look at the travel bundles that you can get then there is a huge collection of bundles.

You can get discount on different type of deals and if you donor like the deals that are displayed there then you can make your own custom deals and this is very easy and basic.

Airfare

There fare is normal as compared to other travel booking sites and you can expect slight high rates during holidays and weekends but this is so common in the industry.

Flight Time Preference

You can set your flight time preference and this is very easy. But you have to keep that in mind that this preference that you will set will not be obeyed as guaranteed so you must be prepared to adjust your time for flight.

Preferred Airline/Preferred Class

Another cool service that they offer is the selection of preferred airline. This feature is offered by most of the other online travel booking sites but the additional feature that you will get is the selection of preferred class. You can select the preferred class as business and it will be filled in most cases.
