Simple search and booking

Intro

Since it was founded twenty-one years ago, Virgin Atlantic Airways has become Britain's second largest airline serving the world's major cities.

The Brief

Zolv were asked to help integrate Virgin Holidays product inventory into a website that would allow customers booking Virgin Atlantic flights to research and book hotels matching their travel requirements as a continuation of their flight booking process.

Zolv Delivered

Working closely with both clients and using an extension of the existing framework used for the Virgin Holidays website, Zolv built a site that makes Virgin Holidays hotels available to Virgin Atlantic customers through a simple, five-step booking process.

• Simple and effective summary based on existing product data for each hotel
• Visual integration with Virgin Atlantic website
• XML gateway to booking system
• Database storage of booking details
• Designed to be extensible for addition of further ancillaries
• XHTML/CSS templates used to allow future re-skins of the product

Google Maps Integration

Google Maps integration

To enhance the standard information available on hotel detail pages Zolv implemented a custom solution using the Google Map API. This provided the following benefits;

• Instant indication of hotel location (over 1000 unique locations, worldwide)
• Gives the customer an immediate feel for the surrounding location
• Gives the customer the ability to pan and zoom around the desired destination
