There’s no denying price is a critical factor for consumers when choosing an airline, but the quality of the inflight experience, plays an increasingly important role today. The quality of food, in-flight entertainment, access to wi-fi, and exact leg room they’ll get for their spend, are all factors which contribute to customer expectations and appraisal of the overall travel experience.
What are customers searching for prior to booking a flight? Easy price comparison, fewest number of connections when possible, but also hard facts and the latest information about onboard amenities in order to make an informed choice. In short, they want to feel in control by selecting the best flight experience possible based upon their personal preferences.
The latest proprietary dataset by Cirium, Cirium Flight Features has streamlined all the inflight amenities’ data you need into an easy-to-access format.
While it is already possible to provide a feed to display amenities on a flight, Cirium is predicting available flight amenities with great accuracy, based on the years of historical data we have been collecting. Exciting, right?
How Cirium Flight Features works
Flight Features looks at real time and historical flight schedule data (back to 2005) and fuses it with historical fleet data and our proprietary Tracked Utilization data portfolio, to accurately predict the likely amenities available on a specific flight up to three months into the future. Our airline data and predictive analytics includes more than 5,000 aircraft configurations. It’s simply the most intelligent way to help you present a more complete view of all flight options so travelers make more informed decisions.
Because when they can see the seat capacity by cabin class of a particular aircraft, along with the seat pitch and details of wi-fi, in-seat power supply and in-flight entertainment, you’re giving customers more personalized value.
