Delta Air Lines and iSeatz Introduce Stand-Alone Travel and Entertainment
Booking Engine Online at Delta.com
Enhanced Travel Gateway Now Offers Delta Customers the Flexibility to Book
Hotels, Car Rentals and Trip Amenities on a Stand-alone Basis
NEW ORLEANS, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- iSeatz today announced a new
stand-alone booking engine developed for Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and
available for customers at the airline's web site, delta.com. This
iSeatz-powered, private-label solution offers travelers an even more flexible
way to fulfill their travel and entertainment needs. Customers who visit
delta.com now have the ability to purchase relevant ancillary travel services
with or without the purchase of airline tickets. Customers can also opt to
return to delta.com anytime to browse lodging, rental car and trip amenity
options and purchase any non-air items in one simple transaction.
iSeatz worked closely with Delta to build this customized addition to the
existing one-stop travel shop at delta.com, which is also powered by iSeatz
and launched in 2007. As a full-service travel gateway, offering travelers the
opportunity to choose from thousands of trip amenity options, delta.com allows
Delta to better serve its customers while benefiting from ancillary revenue.
"We invested in a technology solution that is relevant to every customer
who makes a purchase online at delta.com and also easily integrates into our
existing web site," said Josh Weiss, managing director of delta.com and
Self-Service for Delta. "This booking engine from iSeatz provides even more
flexibility and choice for our valued customers."
"We are pleased to further expand our relationship with Delta Air Lines,
and we look forward to supporting the successful launch of their new
stand-alone booking engine," said Kenneth Purcell, Founder and CEO of iSeatz.
"Our customized solutions add measurable benefits to our customers' existing
web sites, and this upgrade to delta.com is further proof that today's
travelers are looking for the ability to easily fulfill all of their flight
and trip needs via a single shopping cart and checkout process, whether
in-path or not."
Each iSeatz-powered solution is comprised of a flexible booking engine and
extensive network of sourced suppliers that it individually designs and
deploys for each of its clients. By partnering with iSeatz, leading companies
can leverage its network of Marketing Partners, which provides immediate
access to more than 60,000 hotel properties, all of the major car rental
