For its suite of travel sites, slide filters, flex date searches, flight seat selection and addition of EasyCruise makes booking online travel easier than ever

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- To make booking online travel easier, Travel Holdings, Inc. has upgraded the search functionality on its portfolio of online travel booking web sites, giving users more flexibility when selecting travel dates, destinations and transportation. The company is also improving its cruise offering by adding cruises to the eastern Mediterranean for those wishing to travel to destinations like Turkey and Greece.

To improve flexibility and help customers choose the best possible travel options to fit their preferences and budgets, all Travel Holdings sites are being modified to include slide filters. This addition allows users to more easily filter their search results based on price, departure and return flight times, trip duration and layover duration using a simple slide of the mouse. Customers with flexible travel dates can also choose to select only weekends in a preferred month to help them find the optimal weekend to travel based on price. To ensure that travelers are more comfortable in-flight, they will also be able to select their specific seat assignment during the check-out process, eliminating the need to switch on the carrier's web site or request a change at the airport.

"Our goal is to make selecting and booking online travel as simple as possible," said Amir Kalmar, Chief Marketing Officer, Travel Holdings, Inc. "By improving our search functionality and giving customers more flexibility and control, we are helping to ensure that they get exactly what they want."

The company has also added EasyCruise to its arsenal of cruise providers, expanding its cruise offerings to include destinations in the eastern Mediterranean such as Turkey, Greece and the Greek Islands. Many customers who book cruises on any Travel Holdings web site will also enjoy upgrades that are highlighted during the search process so that customers can get the most from their cruise and more for their money at the time of booking.
