The days of blind flight selection are coming to an end. Routehappy, a standout product line under ATPCO, is transforming air travel booking by providing unprecedented transparency about in-flight amenities and services.
The Problem With Traditional Flight Booking
For years, travelers have faced frustrating limitations when booking flights:
- Limited visibility beyond basic price and schedule information
- Unexpected lack of Wi-Fi disrupting business travel
- Uncomfortable seating arrangements discovered only at boarding
- Subpar meal options with no advance notice
- Missing power outlets for essential devices
A New Era of Informed Travel Decisions
Routehappy changes this paradigm by offering comprehensive details about:
- Seat configurations including pitch, width, and recline
- Aircraft type and age information
- Wi-Fi availability, pricing, and speed
- In-flight entertainment options
- Power outlet availability and specifications
- Meal service details and special dietary accommodations
This granular information allows travelers to make selections based on personal preferences rather than just price and schedule.
