Spanair extends flight plus hotel product range

4th September 2007 Print
By choosing marsans.com as its new supplier, Spanair has extended the scope of its online Flight+Hotel product, which facilitates both types of reservation in a single purchase. Since the start of the summer, the company has been offering customers the possibility of room bookings at 30,000 hotels in Spain and 100,000 worldwide in both urban and resort destinations, including those of the main hotel chains.

At Spanair.com, passengers are able to book their flight and hotel at the most competitive market prices in three simple steps - search, booking and document issue.

In addition, before the end of 2007, marsans.com will complement Spanair's Flight+Hotel product with its in-destination transfer service. Passengers who so desire will thereby be able to book airport-destination and destination-airport transfers when purchasing their Flight+Hotel package; they will therefore be able to enjoy private transport to the hotel or airport before and after their flights.

In partnership with marsans.com, Spanair will also soon be offering the possibility of viewing a map pinpointing hotel location, via the Google Maps tool. By means of this service, which will bring added value to the online Flight+Hotel product, passengers will be able to choose a hotel with the most convenient location for them and check exactly how to arrive at their final destination.

"The inclusion of marsans.com as our website's new supplier, has allowed Spanair to strengthen our online product. We are planning both online and offline campaigns to inform our customers of the new services and to increase users' visits to the site" stated Lars Nygaard, CEO of Spanair.

Spanair was founded in 1986 and offers more than 600 daily flights, operated with a fleet of 65 aircraft and in code share with its partners, to 241 destinations. Since April 2003, Spanair is a member of Star Alliance, the largest and most prestigious airline network in the world.

Marsans.com is the online agency of Viajes Marsans, founded in 1910 and part of Grupo Marsans, the Spanish tourism industry leader, which has a network of over 1,000 travel agencies and employs more than 21,000 staff throughout its different companies. Viajes Marsans has links with the main travel wholesalers, road transport companies, and airlines, and offers all types of travel products and services.
