Our design team gave the site a clean, uncluttered appearance by using bold colors and removing the advertisements.  A new interactive map feature helps users find their route and search for flights more easily, putting the focus on reservations rather than distracting the user with advertisements that lead them away from the page.

Additionally, a rotating specials banner at the top of the page encourages users to find out more about the current specials.  And a new simplistic search format with clear, easy to read tabs was also implemented.  These features paired with an easy-to-use navigation structure and more intuitive page names allow the user to quickly find answers to their questions and encourage them to book quickly and easily.
