Umkhwa phakathi kwabanye abathwali kwiinyanga zamva nje ibikukuqhuba abathengi abaninzi ukuya kwiindawo zabo ezinegama, kwaye isixhobo sokhetho kule mfazwe yokuthembeka kwebrendi ibe ziikhowudi zokunyusa okanye zezaphulelo, ezihlala zibizwa ngokuba ziikhowudi zokuthengisa. Bafuna ukuba ufake ulandelelwano olufutshane loonobumba kunye/okanye amanani xa ubhukisha, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi zizitshixo ezinokuvula awona maxabiso aphantsi kakhulu.
Ulufumana njani ufikelelo? Kukho iintlobo ezintathu eziphambili zeentlawulo zentengiso:
• Iyafumaneka kwi-intanethi ukuze nabani na ayisebenzise, kwaye inyuswe kwindawo kunye/okanye ngamaphulo amakhulu e-imeyile
• Izivumelwano ezenziwe ngumntu ngamnye ezijoliswe ngokukodwa kubathengi ababhalisiweyo nge-imeyile
• Iintengiso ezikhethekileyo zipapashwa kuphela ngezixhobo zewijethi, ezifana ne-DING yaseMazantsi-ntshona! kunye neDealFinder yaseMelika
Izivumelwano zamva nje ziquka i-JetBlue's 10%-off specials kunye ne-Southwest's 50% yekhowudi yokuthengisa ikhowudi. Ilungile loo nto ... isiqingatha sekhefu. Kwezinye iimeko, iimali zokunyuswa zibonisa ukucuthwa okuthile okunokuqala ukusuka kwi-15 yeedola ukuya kwi-30 yeedola ngaphantsi kwetikiti, akukho mali encinci kusapho lwabane. Kwaye kwezinye iimeko, iinqwelomoya ziya kukuvumela ukuba uthumele ikhowudi yakho yobuqu kwisihlobo okanye kumhlobo.
Kunzima ukuyifumana
Xa kufikwa ekuqondeni ukonga imali yokuthengisa, kukho into yokubambisa yokwenyani: ukuyifumana. Ngokuqhelekileyo azizukuvela kwindawo yokukhangela yokuhamba oyibhukhimakiyo. Enye indawo abaza kubonakala kuyo, nangona kunjalo, kwi-Airfarewatchdog, indawo yokukhangela yokuhamba eyasekwa ngumakhwekhwetha wentatheli yokuhamba uGeorge Hobica.
UHobica uthi: “Sibona ukwanda kwamaxabiso entengiso. “Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, akukho nanye inqwelo moya ngaphandle kweAlaska eyayisenza oku. Ngokukodwa, uMzantsi-ntshona ubusebenza kakhulu mva nje. Basoloko bendlongondlongo ngokuqhuba abantu kwiwebhusayithi yabo.”
Ubhengezo olupheleleyo apha: Ndiyamazi uGeorge iminyaka emininzi kwaye ndibhale ngaphambili malunga nendawo yakhe, kokubini kule ndawo nakwezinye iindawo. Uqokelele abasebenzi bexesha elizeleyo “abahlalutyi ngemali yenqwelo-moya” abayenza ngendlela yakudala—ngeekhibhodi neminwe. Oko kunokuvakala kungqingqwa kubuchwephesha obuphantsi ngo-2009, kodwa inyani kukuba itekhnoloji "yokukrazula" esetyenziswa ziinjini zokukhangela eziphambili azinakwenza konke. Okokuqala, ezinye iinqwelomoya-ezifana noMzantsi-ntshona-azenzi amaxabiso azo afumaneke ukubhukisha kwiindawo zomntu wesithathu. Kwaye, imali yokukhwela ikhowudi yentengiso iyilwe ngokucacileyo AKUNJALO ukuba ifunyanwe kwiindawo ezingaphandle. Ingcinga epheleleyo yeyokuba inkampani yeenqwelo moya ikuhende iye kwindawo yayo enegama, apho ubethelela amanani ambalwa kunye/okanye iileta ukufumana isivumelwano ongasifumani kwenye indawo.
Ukukhupha imali yokuthengisa kungathatha umsebenzi owongezelelekileyo, okanye kunokubandakanya ukubhalisela iinkqubo zokwazisa kunye nokubukela ibhokisi yakho yokungenayo igcwalisa. Nangona kunjalo, iya isiya icaca ukuba kuyingozi kunangaphambili ukubhukisha inqwelo moya ngaphandle kokujonga indawo enegama lenqwelomoya kuqala.
Iwijethi, ii-DINGs, kunye nezinto ezinokukhutshelwa
Phakathi kwabathwali abakhulu basekhaya, uninzi lwezinto ezintsha zetekhnoloji kwindawo yentengiso zivela kwiinqwelomoya ezimbini eziseDallas. Bobabini uMzantsi-ntshona kunye neMelika baphuhlise izixhobo zetechie eziyilelwe ukukwazisa ngezivumelwano ezikhethekileyo.
Umzantsi-ntshona ubonelela ngeenkqubo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zokwazisa ngenqwelomoya:
• Cofa u-'n Gcina i-E-mail yeZibonelelo eziZodwa. Le mveliso inikezela "kwizinto ezikhethekileyo" ngokuthe ngqo kwibhokisi yakho yangaphakathi, kwaye ibonelela ngezaphulelo zeWebhu kuphela ukusuka kuMazantsi-ntshona, kunye nezivumelwano zokuhamba ukusuka kwihotele, uhambo lokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye namaqabane okuqasha imoto.
• I-DING! Usetyenziso lweDesktop. Esi sixhobo sinokukhutshelwa kwi-desktop yakho simahla, kwaye siyakulumkisa—DING—xa “ixabiso elithotyiweyo” lifumaneka kwindawo oye walungiselela ukuya kuyo (ukuya kutsho kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezili-10). Ezi ntlawulo zizodwa.
Iinkcukacha ezithe vetshe malunga neenkqubo zombini ziyafumaneka kumzantsiwest.com.
Kwiminyaka emibini emva kokuqaliswa kwe-DING! in 2005, Southwest ingxelo abathengi izigidi ezibini ukhuphele widget, leyo evelise ngaphezu $150 million kwiintengiso. Kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu onokuthatha inxaxheba, kuba ngoku iDING! isebenza kuphela kwiinguqulelo ezikhethiweyo zeWindows kunye neMac OS kwaye ayifumaneki kwiinkqubo zeLinux. Kwaye i-downside to downloadables kukuba abanye abasebenzisi babika ukuba amawijethi anciphisa isantya seenkqubo zabo zokusebenza.
Ngokuphathelele eMelika, imveliso yayo yeDealFinder sisixhobo sedesktop esikhuphelekayo esivumela inkampani yenqwelomoya ukuba ikuthumelele ukutya kwayo kweRSS ngeentengiso zexabiso kunye nezibonelelo ezikhethekileyo. Unokukhetha kwangaphambili ukhetho lwakho, olufana neendawo oya kuzo, imihla yokuhamba kunye nokuba yimalini ozimisele ukuyichitha, kwaye iDealFinder iya kuqhubeka nokukhangela kwaye ikwazise ukuba kukho into ekhoyo.
Kodwa iqabane elibhalisele i-DealFinder emva xa yayisungulwa ngo-2007 inika ingxelo yokuba akafumananga zihlaziyo zentlawulo mva nje. Ndibuze umMelika malunga noku, kwaye isithethi sikaMarcy Letourneau saphendula: “Ngenxa yokuba iimali zokukhwela, njengoko usazi, zijoliswe, kunokwenzeka ukuba ngelixa ubona iimali ezimbalwa zokukhwela, omnye umntu (okhetha izinto ezahlukeneyo, ngaloo ndlela ufumana iimali ezijoliswe kuzo ezahlukeneyo kunawe. ) isenokuba ubona nje uninzi okanye ngaphezulu. Kuxhomekeke kwiimarike, iindlela, apho uhlala khona, njl.
DealFinder ifumaneka kuphela kubasebenzisi Windows. UMelika uthi usebenza nzima ukwenza ukuba abasebenzisi beMac bafikelele kwisixhobo “kamsinyane,” kodwa inqwelomoya ayinakukhomba umhla othile ngeli xesha.
Ngapha koko, ukuba uyazibuza ukuba kutheni ezinye iinqwelomoya zingasusi nje ii-gizmos kunye nee-imeyile kwaye zisasaze imali yazo yentengiso kwihlabathi, inokuba inento yokwenza nokuchonga izinto ezikhethwa ngabathengi kunye nokugcina ugcino lweenkcukacha zamashishini. Njengoko u-Hobica ebonisa, "Iikhowudi zokunyusa zivavanya ukusebenza kwemigudu yabo yokuthengisa."
Iipateni zendlela
Kwiinqwelomoya, yonke into imalunga nokuqhuba itrafikhi ye-intanethi ukubuyela kwiindawo zabo. Ngaphambili, bebekwenza oku ngokunikezela ngebhonasi rhoqo, kodwa ngoku iqhele ukwenziwa ngeemali eziphantsi. Qwalasela ezi ndawo zilandelayo zentengiso ezifunyenwe kwiWebhu kwezi veki zidlulileyo:
• I-Alaska's Winter Clearance Sale ibonise imali yohambo lwendlela enye kwi-intanethi ukusuka eSeattle nge-$59 ukuya eSan Francisco, i-$69 ukuya eLos Angeles, kunye ne-$109 yokuya ePalm Springs.
• Ngexesha leeholide, iAir Canada ibonelele nge-15% isaphulelo sokukhwela kuzo zonke iiklasi zeenqwelo moya ngaphakathi eKhanada, kunye nokuya e-US kunye neendawo zamazwe ngamazwe kunye nelanga.
Uya kubona abathwali abakhulu benikezela ngamaxabiso okuthengisa ngamanye amaxesha. Kodwa uluhlu lweenqwelomoya ezineekhowudi zokuthengisa zilawulwa ngabathwali bexabiso eliphantsi ekhaya, njengeAirTran, Allegiant, JetBlue, Spirit, USA3000 kunye neVirgin America. Ukongezelela, iinqwelo-moya ezisuka kwamanye amazwe, njengeWestJet yaseKhanada, ziye zasebenzisa ezo zixhobo zokuthengisa. Oku akumangalisi, kuba enye yeendlela abathwali bexabiso eliphantsi bahlala beneendleko eziphantsi kukunciphisa iindleko zabo zokuhambisa. Kwaye oko kuthetha ukungahlawuli iikomishini kuzo zombini ii-arhente zokuhamba ze-intanethi kunye ne-offline, ukungahlawulisi iifizi kwiindawo zokubhukisha zomntu wesithathu kunye nokuzama ukunciphisa iindleko zokugcina amaziko ogcino.
Eyona nto iphambili kukuba eyona ndlela inexabiso eliphantsi yenqwelomoya enikiweyo yokuthengisa isihlalo kukusebenzisa iwebhusayithi yayo, kwaye yiloo nto kanye abanye abathwali abagxile kuyo ngoku. Thatha iFrontier Airlines, umzekelo. Ibonelela rhoqo ngoNxibelelwano lwe-Intanethi kunye nezilumkiso ze-imeyile kwindawo yayo. I-United ikwabonelela ngee-E-Fares, kunye nezaziso ze-imeyile malunga nesaphulelo somzuzu wokugqibela okhutshwa rhoqo ngoLwesibini ngo-12:01 am.
Ukongeza, i-Air Canada ibonelela nge-webSaver ye-imeyile yentengiso kwindawo yayo yase-US. I-Canadian carrier carrier ithumela iintlobo ngeentlobo zeentlawulo ze-Web kuphela; kwiveki ephelileyo i-webSaver Daily Deals "izibonelelo ezishushu" zibandakanya imali yokuya nokubuya ye-198 yeedola ukusuka eSeattle ukuya e-Edmonton kunye ne-210 yeedola ukusuka eNew York ukuya eCalgary. Ezinye izinikezelo ezikhethekileyo ziquka i-$ 166 yohambo lokuya nokubuya ukusuka ePhiladelphia ukuya kwiindawo ezintathu ezahlukeneyo: eMontreal, eOttawa, okanye eToronto.
Kwaye kukho iinqwelomoya-zombini zasekhaya kunye nezangaphandle-ezibonelela ngeemali ezikhethekileyo kwiindawo zabo ezinegama, ngaphandle kweekhowudi okanye iwijethi okanye ukuxhawula izandla ngokufihlakeleyo. Kwiinyanga zamva nje, i-Aer Lingus, i-Air China, kunye ne-Singapore Airlines zonke zibonelele ngezivumelwano ezinje ngewebhu kuphela. UHobica uthi: “Ayiyokhowudi yokuthengisa. "Kodwa sisicwangciso esifanayo sokuthengisa, ukuqhuba abantu kwiindawo zabo."
Ngaba ukuncothula ezi ntengiso kuyandisa inkqubo yakho yokuthenga kwi-Intanethi kancinane? Ewe. Kwaye kwezinye iimeko kunokubakho i-caveat, njengokusebenzisa ikhadi lentlawulo ethile ukubhukisha. Kodwa ugcino lunokwenza ukuba ixabiseke ngakumbi ingxaki.
Yintoni ezayo?
Ngokubhekiselele kubathengi, kusenengqiqo eninzi ukuthelekisa-ivenkile kunye nemilinganiselo yenqwelo moya kwiindawo zokukhangela ukuhamba kunye neendawo ze-arhente yokuhamba. Kodwa izizathu ezichasene nokubhukisha kwiindawo zomntu wesithathu zihlala zisanda. Ukongeza kwixabiso, iisayithi ezinegama lenkampani yomoya nazo zinokubonelela ngezi nzuzo:
• ukungahlawulisi imali yokubhukisha kwiimeko ezininzi
• Ukubonelela ngamaza omoya ongezelelweyo kwindlela ethile
• Ukubonelela ngezihlalo ezongezelelweyo kwinqwelomoya
• Ukubonelela ngeendlela ezingcono, kubandakanywa iinqwelomoya ezininzi ezingamisiyo
Ngoko ke zithetha ntoni iindlela ezinjalo kwiindawo ezinkulu ze-arhente yokuhamba njenge-Expedia, Orbitz, kunye ne-Travelocity? UHobica uthi: “Ukuba ibindim bendiya kusongelwa. "Jonga, iinqwelomoya zinqumle iiarhente zezitena kunye nodaka [ngokunciphisa ikhomishini] kwaye ngoku kubonakala ngathi ziyayenza kwiiarhente zokuhamba ezikwi-Intanethi." Uyishwankathela ngolu hlobo: “Ukuba lo mkhwa uyaqhubeka, ukukhula kwe-OTA [iarhente yokuhamba kwi-intanethi] kuya kuqhubeka ukwehla.”
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuhanjiswa kwe-airline dynamics kunye nezoqoqosho zahlukile ngeli xesha, kwaye ezininzi iindiza zigcina izivumelwano zokuthengisa kunye neentengiso kunye neendawo ze-arhente yokuhamba, ngoko musa ukubhala i-Big Three ye-Expedia, i-Orbitz, kunye ne-Travelocity okwangoku. Kodwa iisayithi zomntu wesithathu ziya kufuna ukufumana izizathu ezitsha nezinyanzelisayo zokuba abathengi baqhubeke nokubhukisha ngazo, hayi nje ukuthenga kuzo.
