How We Delivered Comprehensive Flight & Hotel Data for Strategic Booking Decisions
Lack of Complete Travel Visibility
A corporate travel manager needed comprehensive visibility into flight and hotel availability across multiple platforms to make strategic booking decisions. The challenge was that different platforms showed different information, policies were often hidden or contradictory, and there was no single source of truth for comparing options.
They needed complete data - not just prices and availability, but also cancellation policies, room-level details, and platform-specific nuances that could impact booking decisions.
Complete Visibility Across Platforms
We implemented a weekly data extraction system that captured flight and hotel information down to policy and room-level details, providing structured, complete availability across multiple platforms.
Data Captured:
- → Flight availability, pricing, and route options
- → Hotel room-level details and amenities
- → Cancellation and modification policies
- → Platform-specific pricing and availability differences
Platform Contradictions Exposed
By exposing platform contradictions and providing complete visibility, our client was able to make strategic booking decisions that optimized costs while ensuring policy compliance. They could see exactly what was real versus what was marketing, enabling them to negotiate better deals and avoid hidden costs.
Key Insight:
The data revealed significant discrepancies between platforms - what appeared to be the same room or flight often had different policies, hidden fees, or availability windows. This transparency enabled strategic decision-making that wasn't possible before.
