Ctrip Partners with 30K to Bring Frequent Flyer Benefits to Chinese Users
11 Octobre 2018 - 10:00AM
Ctrip, China’s leading online travel agent, today announced a new
partnership with 30K, the world’s leading frequent flyer content
provider, to bring flight mileage benefits information to its
users. The information is displayed within the fare details
section on the search results page as well as within the
‘upsellable fares’ section on the booking section. The feature is
available on Ctrip’s Chinese language website and mobile apps.
Mr. Xiong Xing, Ctrip Group CTO and CEO of Ctrip’s Flights and
International Business Units, said: “Chinese travelers are becoming
more sophisticated. Additional value-added information such as
aircraft type, seat configuration and accruable frequent flyer
mileage are increasingly becoming important decision-making factors
when they select airlines for their journeys. This partnership with
30K enables us to provide accruable mileage information for each
selected fare and can help encourage travelers to upgrade. This is
also a welcome development for airlines, as OTAs provide more
valuable options to travelers and create further opportunities for
upselling.”
Alex Jawad, the CEO and Co-founder of 30K, said, “Frequent flyer
programs are growing around the world as travelers seek value and
rewards for their air travel loyalty. At the same time, the Chinese
travel audience continues to expand exponentially. Ctrip has
recognized the accelerated sophistication of this ever more
important demographic by offering its valuable high frequency
travelers a de-commoditized experience.”
Ctrip joins a long list of meta search engines across the world
including Hipmunk from the USA and Ixigo from India, that have
partnered with 30K this year. Ctrip is 30K’s first Chinese customer
and the largest travel retailer to integrate its Milefy API to
date.
About 30K:30K was launched in California, USA,
in 2012 as the world’s first aggregator of frequent flyer program
content for personalized application in travel shopping and booking
platforms, connecting travel retail with the top 25% of travelers
that make up above 70% of worldwide aviation revenue. 30K’s
technology returns content of the top 75 frequent flyer programs
and serves to de-commoditize airfare shopping by bringing to the
fore underlying benefits that are uniquely tailored to each
individual traveler’s frequent flyer memberships. The company won
the "Best Business Travel Innovation” award by GBTA in 2017 and its
CEO, Alex Jawad, was named one of the “Future Leaders of Travel” by
Phocuswright in 2016.
