Press Release Summary: Travel 2.0 network gets under the skin of which airline is best for the route you fly
Press Release Body: 22 October 2008: Have you ever wanted to know who has the flattest beds in business, longed for an in-flight massage or wondered whether a first class goody bag is worth the premiere price tag? Today you can put your mind at rest. Iloho, the online tool for travelers, launches its new flights function (www.iloho.com/flight-search), an innovative and unique online database of the world's airlines, the routes they fly, the services they offer and how they rank with travelers in the know.
Iloho's flights function offers 360 degree airline and flight information that is easily accessible and quickly navigable. Core route data is augmented by a wealth of service information and user-generated reviews for over seventy of the world's leading airlines. This data is brought to life by a catalogue of images showing airlines' on-board and airport amenities, making iloho's information source as dynamic, original and interactive as possible.
To give the best impression of what it is really like to travel with a certain airline on a specific route, both airlines as a whole and their individual routes are scored. Calculated from user-generated reviews, these scores cover customer service, comfort, in-flight entertainment, food and drink, cabin atmosphere and value for money.* Each of the seventy airlines and every flight has its own detailed information page so it is simple to assess in-depth, route specific information. Expanded user-generated reviews are shown on these flight information pages to give a balanced insight into airlines' offerings.
Users can search for flights by route, stops and cabin class. Available flights can then be compared against each other, side-by-side, in an array of categories from check-in options to frequent flyer services; results are broken down by class of travel - one airline's business cabin will not be pitched against another's economy. The way results are displayed can be tailored according to the priorities of individual passengers by collapsing fields that are not of interest.
In addition to route and service data, iloho's flights search function also provides information on route schedules, flight times and aircraft models. Once users have made an informed travel choice, booking is available via direct links to airlines' websites. The aim is to help users secure the best possible ticket price and to allow airlines and passengers to get to know each other before airport check-in.
Richard Archer-Perkins, Chairman and Founder iloho.com, says: "We are extremely excited about iloho's new flights function. By combining core route and airline data with user-generated reviews, iloho helps flyers understand exactly what airlines are offering and precisely why one airline is better than another on the route they want to fly. We hope the innovative way we offer detailed flight and airline data will really appeal to our users. We are consistently developing our content so we can provide the best and most interactive airline information on the web."

Notes to Editors: * Airlines and their routes can only be scored if user-generated reviews are available. In the absence of user-generated reviews routes and airlines will remain unrated.
