LONDON GATWICK and the Icelandic travel search engine Dohop have launched a unique booking service, GatwickConnects, which enables flights from separate airlines connecting through Gatwick to be booked in a single transaction. Gatwick offers a guarantee of service if flights don't operate as planned.
Previously, connected flights between the participating airlines would have to be booked separately, and carried the risk of travellers having to buy new flights if the first one was delayed. GatwickConnects joins the tickets into a single booking and removes this risk by protecting the connection for the passengers.
The airlines taking part in GatwickConnects are easyJet, WOWair, and Norwegian, making up 52% of Gatwick's flight traffic. More airlines are expected to follow.
It is the first time an airport has taken the lead to book and safeguard connections, which makes full use of Dohop's Self-Connect technology of looking up and displaying cost-saving connecting flights.
