Online travel continues to get interest. After half a dozen early stage investments and launches, consumer experience remains at abyssmal levels. My own view is that these players will figure it out over next few months, but a person I was talking to made a valid point — focus on user experience is in the genetic makeup of the company; its either there or not there…
Contentsutra has reports on progress at Flightraja, and another travel metasearch portal Meratrip. Looking for a breakaway on user experience…

We too have took our small steps in to the travel arena. UAeexchange was providing travel services.. now we are in online booking of tickets. more info can be found in http://www.uaeexchangetravel.com , If you try to access the site in gprs you will get lead to the wap version of the site.
I wish people ( both service providers /agents and consumers) are able to make use of this online travel biz. I have been searching for some travel sites but am unable to find one independent good source of information available online to compare with my company :)….is that to be considered vain?? he he he…….
Hi Vinay,
This is probably a dead thread but having read some of the stuff on here I wanted to know how you set up the mobile payment option, who you contacted and if you have been able to get the network operators to agree to allow one to purchase tickets through sms. I was looking at the possible use of sms as an avenue for receiving subscriptions for magazines.
Thanks,
Pranav
I am happy to call you and understand that. You can alternatively reach me at

Vinay,
I first saw Flightraja on Sahads website and tried it. I travel frequently as i am a management consultant, and have now started using websites to get good deals. While the first few pages have been great, i somehow for some technical glitch end up not booking on your site and go to the airline site after a check on the fares and book. I think u need to check the backend…. u must have lost atleast 5 tickets of mine in the last 1 month….
