OAG Offers Easy To Use Travel Planning Tools
(Washington, DC, July 14, 2010) OAG, the global leader in aviation intelligence, now offers in-trip travel conveniences and tools designed to put more information into the hands of travelers. These services will save time and provide them with quick information about their travel options when service interruptions occur. “OAG for the Traveler,” www.oagtravel.com, is now available to all travelers and travel planners around the world and offers many free services to make business and leisure trips more enjoyable.
OAG’s new Travel website makes it easy and convenient to arrange travel plans. Travelers and travel planners can access information on schedules via whatever channel is most convenient - mobile, online or print. This flexibility means added in-trip conveniences to facilitate searches or make changes to travel plans in advance of and during trips. These services are quickly becoming a “must-have” resource when flight delays impact travel plans.
“As a frequent traveler, I understand the frustrations and stress involved with travel interruptions, and this new travel site offers a wealth of information that will be useful to both experienced and occasional travelers,” said Peter von Moltke, CEO UBM Aviation, parent company of OAG.
Just a few of the in-trip travel conveniences available on OAGTravel.com include:
Flight Status – Allows travelers to find up to the minute status (departure and arrival time) on their flights
Airline Route Finder – Displays all the routes a chosen airline flies on any given day
Terminal Finder – Provides the specific airport terminal that a flight departs from and where it will arrive
Other new OAG Travel services provide the ability to obtain information on any major airport in the world, learn which airlines offer direct flights on a given route, find the first and last flights of the day on any selected route, and gives instant access to a world time clock. The site also includes reference information about what to do if your bags are lost, your flight cancelled, passports, visas, health and safety tips, and much more.
“As the peak summer travel season gets underway, OAG is offering new in-trip travel conveniences at just the right time. Information is available anywhere and at any time you need it,” continued von Moltke.
