LOS ANGELES, CA, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Placely, the social network for travelers, launches a free flight
reservation aggregator that instantly links users' personal calendars
with the latest flight information pulled directly from major airlines'
websites and online travel agencies. By allowing members for the first
time to keep track of their travel plans regardless of where they book
them online, Placely completes their vast toolset for the frequent flyer.
Placely is the only travel social network to provide all the tools you
need to share and plan travels in one place. The new reservation
aggregation service ties directly into users' favorite calendar system
through Placely's iCal connection. With the iCal connection, users can
add their Placely travel calendar to their Outlook or Google Calendar
instantly. Seamlessly integrated into Placely, the new reservation
aggregation system offers users the ability to plan, share and manage
their travel plans with up-to-date information pulled directly from all
major airlines.
"Creating numerous itineraries can become confusing and stressful,
especially when you're juggling business as well as summer vacation
trips," said Denis Khoo, CEO and Co-Founder. "With Placely, we hope to
save users as much time and effort as possible and create a more
streamlined trip experience."
Placely integrates all the travel-related features of popular media and
social networking sites, such as Flickr, Tripit, Trip Advisor, Dopplr,
Blogger and Facebook, into a single platform. Members can "experience"
sharing travel plans and trip updates while staying connected through
distinctive group features and a travel network platform. Placely users
can log in, update their location and easily connect with family back
home or find fellow trekkers to meet while traveling between destinations.
