Route maps are important to me (and I’m in the travel industry, by the way).

In addition, I have a family member whose vision is not great. Therefore the text size and color combinations make a huge difference. And when you remember that those in the older age brackets also have a significant number of disposable dollars, it might make sense to make your website easier for them to read. Perhaps a panel in one corner that allows the user to modify the text (like on the Rush Limbaugh website).

Also, when I was a trainer I remember reading about color combinations and their readability. White letters on a dark blue background are easiest on the eyes. Red letters are very hard to read in some combinations.

Thanks for soliciting this info!

I like an easily accessible “cheap seats” page. I’m not a fan of having to guess when I’m going to get the best fare. I like it when there’s a calender showing the fares for different days, that has proven to be the most helpful for me.

I love when there’s a recreation section with an interactive map of things to do in the area and the ability to buy a combo pass for those things..
Guides are great and all, but there are tons of guide sites that I already prefer.. However, I like to be able to just select a few things I want to do and buy a discounted pass for those at the same time I buy my car rental.. I like to have a lot to choose from, not just a golf course or particularly expensive experience.. Local museums perhaps with links to an already popular guide with reviews.. I also love when a site can show me what the cheapest price will be to my destination in the next month or suggest an alternative airport if there’s a substantial savings..

What I find helpful are lists of destination activities, also calendars of special events ie. festivals, list of different neighborhoods and what each offers, hotels and restaurants in the area. Also weather and airport information, and links to other sites such as shuttle or car service, tour guides, museum or activity websites.

rental cars.

I like sites that allow me to search dates by price. I can plan my trip around the least expensive flights. I used to do this a lot with Travelocity, but I’m in Asia now and can’t book through them for the flights I make most.

I often read questions like this asking the consumers opinion on different things, (like the company has genuine concern for the consumer) when in reality the consumers desire for a particular type of service is often offered the opposite of what they want.

For me, I like to know more about the destination cities or countries. the facilities, information about cool place and tourism area, etc. I also would like to know about the accomodation that travel agencies provide. About the flight, I would like to know the plane type, the services they give especially for a long journey, and all kind of important information such as baggage limit etc.

My husband and I travel both in U.S.A. and in Europe for pleasure – never for business. Which country or state we choose often depends on what there is to see or do there, with the cost of the flight itself being a only close second in priority. We live in Europe, and we’ve discovered that most American travel businesses seem to be unable to process requests for information (brochures and such) sent to Europe, so getting that information online is very important to us.

We seek travel goals with interesting history, rich musical culture (especially traditional folk music), and nature trails for hiking and biking. Therefore, adding local bike rental shops and the area’s best hiking trails to a site would be very attractive to us. An interactive map also helps us to choose where to travel. We like to make one city a kind of “home base”, so therefore suggested day trips from a certain location would be good.

A list of area hotels is helpful, but we’ve found that it’s cheaper as well as more fun and interesting to just look for a “mom and pop” local hotel when we arrive rather than reserve a room in one of the more expensive “cookie-cutter” chain hotels.

We couldn’t care less about shopping, restaurants, or nighclubs. We’re nature lovers, so where or what we eat is of little concern to us.

Thanks for asking!

When I travel, I want peace of mind about making sure my connections to and from the airport will run smoothly and like to explore my transportation options both price and convienience wise. It is nice to have access to detailed information in English about shuttle services, trains, etc even in places all over the world.

I also usually look for customer reveiws about destinations and hotels, restaraunts, shopping etc.. I am a budget traveler, so I like to try and find the most bang for my buck wherever I go and I don`t like to rely on only commercial advertisements which may not give the full story.

I also like to find out which destinations are unique to the area and which places are good for families (since I am now traveling with a small child). When planning a trip to Hong Kong for instance, I found out about an amuzement park/zoo/water park/aquarium/seaworld place called “Ocean Park” which turned out to be much less crowded and a better value than going to Hong Kong Disneyland and had a lot more culture as well! We only read about it in a few places but the place was fantastic and makes Hong Kong a wonderful family destination!

Travel sites I like have flexible travel dates and nearby airports. It’s very important to me to have options for cheaper flights. I also like that I can sign up on sidestep to keep me on alert for any price changes on a certain trip.

The flight and the total price.

We don’t care about fancy graphics, the blueprints for the airplane, useless promos, or company news.

We just want to book the best flight at the best price without having to click through 10+ pages.

Please include the taxes and fuel charges in the promos. You can still show the basic fare to attract attention, but maybe include the extras on the same page.

My favorite section is user opinions or user reviews on hotels, restaurants, activities/excursions, etc.

The yellow pages.

Specials, and the calender which shows the cheapest days to fly……..dunno if that’s on the Delta site though.

(Look at Southwest Airlines for some tips)

Expedia, and Priceline,,, find these two to work the best for Air travel and Hotel and Auto,,,, For cruises,,, There are a number of really good agencys who can get you the best
cruise values,,,, I book with these outfits at least twice a month and they have never done wrong.

I like to start with airfares, since they’re usually the largest single expense. I like a site with flexible search options because I would rather pick my dates according to when the lowest fare is available than choose an exact date first.

Once I’ve settled on a destination, I like to look at activities. I like to see links to multiple providers so I can shop around and compare the various options.

Pricing out the trips is cool, putting together different times and dates for offpeak travel and having the flexibility to price different scenarios withought having a card charged is important.

Reviews section on any carriers web page. Honestly, I do not travel or book a hotel until I read the reviews on Tripadvisor.com. That site has never disappointed me and is usually right on with every review.
