I recently had the chance to exclusively interview CEO of CheapAir.com, Jeff Klee. With flight prices rapidly increasing, CheapAir promises to keep airfares exactly as the name of the company suggests: cheap! The company offers plenty of filters for travelers to determine the best flying experience for their budget. Here’s what Jeff Klee had to say about booking travel during not only chaotic holiday season, but always.
Does CheapAir guarantee finding the cheapest airfares online? If so, how is it done?
While CheapAir.com does not guarantee the cheapest airfares online, it’s innovative, easy-to-use travel search and booking interface, as well as its travel blog with insightful travel research, analysis and advice help everyone make better travel decisions and book with confidence.
Why should CheapAir be considered over competitors?
CheapAir.com is dedicated to making every step of booking travel transparent and easy to use for customers with its innovative travel booking interface and more than one hundred U.S.-based customer service representatives ready to answer calls any time of day. CheapAir.com is the perfect travel site to book with confidence as we are there to walk customers through every step of the booking process and get them the best value possible. We pride ourselves on being transparent and dependable.
What benefits are there to the “Apples to Apples” comparison?
CheapAir.com’s apples-to-apples comparison gives travelers details about each airline ticket side by side, including legroom, Wi-Fi speed, seat assignments, bag charges, and inflight entertainment options. This feature provides transparency to travelers to easily and clearly understand what their airfare does and does not include.
CheapAir has the option to see amenities that are available for each leg of the flight. What are some of the more popular amenities consumers are looking for?
We have found that some of the more popular amenities among consumers have been in-flight Wi-Fi and power outlets. Making sure Wi-Fi and outlets are available on the plane ahead of booking travel have become essential for the modern-day traveler. Many airlines are still circulating old model planes which do not accompany these features.
What amenities breakdowns, if any, might CheapAir be adding in the future?
We are always focused on improving the customer experience and making booking easier. Right now, we are looking into ways to make the search feature when paying with digital currencies more seamless. Beyond that, we are looking for ways to share additional information with our customers that provide greater transparency to help them make the right travel decisions.
Some people have reservations about booking with third-party sites. Why should consumers trust and book with CheapAir instead of booking directly with the airline?
CheapAir.com has always put the customer first and continues to do so. Our dedication to helping travelers make the best travel decisions is the core of who we are. Because of this, we offer features such as “Price Drop Payback” ensuring customers get the best price guaranteed. CheapAir.com also offers travel insurance and a “Fly Now Pay Later” option which makes traveling accessible to all.
CheapAir offers “Price Back Payback,” where, if the price for the same itinerary goes down any time before a consumer’s trip, CheapAir.com will pay back the difference in the form of a travel voucher for up to $100 per ticket. Is this travel voucher specifically for CheapAir, or is it for the airline?
The travel voucher provided through “Price Drop Payback” is specifically for CheapAir.com.
What destinations remain most popular to book on CheapAir?
While Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles are always popular, in 2022 Orlando was our top booked destination. Its popularity with families due to the Disney and Universal theme parks make this a top destination year over year.
Prices have significantly increased this year regarding flights, hotels, and travel in general, but it doesn’t seem to be stopping anyone. What changes have you noticed in the way people book tickets since the “comeback of travel” this year?
During the year of “revenge travel,” the desire to go on vacation, redeem travel vouchers and use pent-up paid time off, travelers were not deterred by higher prices for airfare, car rentals and hotels. To help travelers get the best value and book with confidence, CheapAir.com continued to release first-hand data sharing tips and advice on the best ways to save.
