Ex-ebookers staff set up comparison website
New travel comparison website Allcheckin.com has attracted 12 suppliers for its launch.
Launch partners include Opodo, lastminute.com, ebookers.com, British Airways Holidays, Intercontinental Hotel Group, cng-hotels.com, Hotelclub.com, RatestoGo.com, octopustravel.com, Holiday Autos, Advantage Rent-a-car and Enterprise Rent-a-car.
Allcheckin.com has been created by former senior executives at ebookers.com and BT Looksmart and claims to offer prices and itineraries for more than 500 airlines, 80,000 hotels and car hire firms.
The company says it sophisticated internet technology enables users to refine their search criteria and see immediate results which, unlike many other comparison sites, are presented in a “genuinely objective and agnostic order”.
Co-founder and chief operating officer Martin Turner said: “We will continue to add more high quality suppliers and add new product categories in the coming weeks.
“The great thing about our model is that it works not just for travellers who can quickly search for the best deals, but also for travel suppliers who can reach new customers at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing channels.
Vinod Singh, Allcheckin’s CTO and co-founder, said: “We will expand functionality in the weeks to come, including search for hotels by amenities and locations within a city, user reviews and comprehensive destination information.”
