“The connected network of low-cost airlines in Europe offers great value to travellers and we are very proud to be the first to make it visible to them.” Says Frosti Sigurjonsson, general manager at dohop.com. “Having access to this information can mean important time and cost savings for people, but users must also be aware that the low-cost airlines are offering point to point flights and do not endorse or take responsibility for any flight connections.”

www.dohop.com usually finds many connections on a selected day for a chosen city pair, and displays them by travel time. Travelers can easily choose the combination which suits them best, based on their carrier preferences, available time and budget.

Once the choice is made, www.dohop.com puts the traveler in touch with the airline, and the tickets are booked on the airline’s website.

Travelers have access to connections which were previously hidden to them and can save time and money by shopping in one place.

Airlines benefit from receiving qualified leads which will easily be converted to bookings on their own websites.
