KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 ― If you’ve been sitting at your desk weaving fantasies of a quick weekend getaway or a grand adventure of late, then perhaps it’s time you booked yourself a holiday.
However, between now and getting to your dream destination, we’re all familiar with the many obstacles typically faced by aspiring travellers.
But don’t let them deter you!
For those looking for a way to make planning and booking your travels as effortless as possible, let the Traveloka App take you where you want to go.
Over 10 million people throughout South-east Asia and counting have downloaded the app, which can be used to purchase cheap flight tickets and good value hotel stays ― like them, you can get the app here to overcome these common travel dilemmas:
1) “Can’t go anywhere with my limited budget…”
Traveloka App users not only get the usual cool flight and hotel deals available through the Traveloka website, but they also get additional discounts for hotel stays that are exclusive to the app. With all these bargains at your disposal, you’re sure to find something that will catch your fancy without burning a hole in your pocket.
Based on your budget and preferences, you’ll be able to customise your flight and hotel searches, featuring a wide selection ranging from low-cost airlines and full-service airlines such as AirAsia and Singapore Airlines to budget hostels and luxury 5-star hotels.
You’ll even be able to mix and match your flights from multiple airlines to ensure you get the best price. Besides that, when selecting round-trip flights through the app, look out for those marked with the “Smart Combo” tag to save up to 40 per cent.
Paying for your flights and hotels will also be a cinch, thanks to the various secure payment options available, including credit cards, bank transfers, and over-the-counter payments across South-east Asia.
2) “Hmm, not sure where or when to go…”
Stumped for ideas on where to go? Use the search feature to find popular destinations nearby. If you need help figuring out the perfect place to stay, the search filters will pinpoint the best hotels for you based on price range, star rating, facilities, accommodation type, and whether you’d prefer to be near any particular locations, such as public transportation or local attractions.
You can also narrow down the optimum dates for your trip using the calendar, which will feature the national and state holidays for your home country. Who doesn’t love three-day weekends?
3) “Don’t know how to find good deals…”
You’ll never miss out on a good deal again, as the app will let you know of hotel deals all over the region via push notification, while Traveloka’s latest promotions can all be found in one place by tapping on the “Ongoing Promos” button.
No need to open multiple tabs on your browser to compare prices either, as the app will do the work for you ― all you need to do is choose how you want the search results to be sorted, from options such as lowest price or earliest departure time. You can also set up price alerts to receive a notification when flight prices for specific routes match your set price range.
4) “Can’t find the time to book…”
Once you’re registered and logged in to the app, you can search for flights and hotels and have them booked within minutes, as all your details are securely locked in for speedier booking. Similarly, using the Travelers Picker feature, you can even add the details of those you usually travel with, such as friends and family, making group bookings much smoother.
To breeze through the payment process, simply add a credit or debit card to the My Cards feature, and after you’ve completed your booking, you’ll receive your flight e-ticket or hotel voucher in your inbox. Easy peasy, right?
5) “Wow, what a great deal! Is this really the final price I’ll need to pay?”
With Traveloka’s Honest Price, you can be sure that the price you see is the price you’ll pay ― no booking fees or additional charges, as it already includes applicable taxes and surcharges.
6) “It’s so troublesome to print my flight ticket/hotel voucher…”
Forgot to print your flight e-ticket or hotel voucher? No worries ― when you book through the app, your booking details will be saved to your account, which is readily accessible on multiple devices, even those without an internet connection.
With the Traveloka App, planning a trip has been made so convenient, you won’t have any more excuses not to travel ― so try it out today.
