Since 2007, Vayama has provided international travelers with the most comprehensive set of airlines, fares and flights, allowing people to experience popular well-traveled destinations as well as remote corners of the world. Working with its vast network of global partners, Vayama gathers all the best content in one place.
"We understand the needs of the international traveler better than anyone," said Ted Jansen, Executive Vice President at Travix International and head of Vayama. "Often, our customers know they want to travel abroad, but haven't yet settled on the exact destination. As we relaunch our brand, we're making important changes that allow us to serve those travelers who are ready to book a trip, as well as those who are still looking to find the travel experience that's right for them."
With these changes, Vayama has introduced the concept of curation to its site - putting a renewed focus on relevant results, while continuing to offer the same depth and breadth of international content its customers have come to expect.
A New Way to Shop for International Flights and Fares
The beta version of the new Vayama.com website provides four distinct ways to search international flights - quick search, map view, grid view and list view. Quick search is ideal for the traveler who knows exactly when and where they are going. For a customer who is still determining their travel details, map view allows a sense of global discovery and the ability to shop across the world. For those travelers who prefer a different view, the grid and list views allow customers to instantly search across top international destinations from their origin city for the travel dates important to them.
Breakthrough Travel Search Technology
A key feature of this new beta site is curated results, a breakthrough travel search solution aimed at removing the clutter and complexity from international travel search. Powered by Amadeus Featured Results, a search solution developed by Amadeus, a leading technology partner for the global travel industry, Vayama's curated results functionality culls flight options from more than 500 airlines worldwide to identify the fastest, cheapest, most popular and sponsored itineraries. A pilot of curated results is now live at Vayama.com and includes 100 origin and destination combinations from five U.S. cities: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Miami.
