Herald Online Travel unveils wireless itineraries

The Herald Online announces...

The Herald Online Travel website has shown once again why it is at the cutting edge of Internet-based travel services in New Zealand.

Clients who book their travel through the Herald Online Travel booking engine can now view their trip plans on any internet-connected computer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using Sabre Virtually There.

Itineraries can also be downloaded to a handheld device such as a Palm or Pocket PC machine to view their plans on the run.

A major benefit of Sabre Virtually There is as soon as you make any changes or additions to your plans, you can view your new itinerary straightaway online.

Guy Orridge, Travel Product Manager at Wilson and Horton Interactive, believes this new feature shows the way for the future of online travel.

"More and more people everyday are turning to handheld devices to help organise their lives," he says.

"The ability to carry your up-to-the minute travel plans with you is another exciting development for the traveller."
