Just like clockwork, we’re back to that time of the year when we’re planning our next big trip. This calls for flight plans and other things that come with taking a flight out of the city. On-air travel, especially in the case of international flights, includes a lot of factors that you may need to keep track of to ensure a hassle-free journey. Everything from staying aware of changes in flight timings and terminals to maintaining seamless communication throughout the entire experience are things that require quite a bit of attention. Trying to figure out the next best options for yourself when your flight is delayed or cancelled is no trivial matter either. It may all seem like a bit too much to worry about for one trip. What if you could get rid of the added stress of having to worry about any of these? Sounds pretty great, right? ShareTrip values the necessities of its customers. Based on their needs, they’ve come up with a collaboration with TripAdd – a collection of travel features that will take care of most of the small yet vital details of your journey. In this blog, we’ll discuss all the different ways you can improve your experience by availing some extra perks with your next flight tickets.

What services should you look for to ensure convenient air travel?

Ancillary services offer you the option to avail a range of travel features with your flight ticket based on your destination and choice of airline. These services are brought by keeping traveller’s convenience in mind and to elevate travel experience by managing certain features of your travel such as providing data services alongside flight alerts etc. while making flight management much more accessible for travellers. These features are designed to decrease the chances of any unforeseen troubles showing up in your journey. The following services have been seen to make a significant difference in one’s travel experience:

Travel eSIM:

When we are travelling to a new destination, the first thing we struggle with is finding easy connectivity with our dear ones. Hence comes the Travel eSIM, which is a unique and useful feature that includes wireless data services for your phone without the need of a physical SIM card. These services help you achieve connectivity without a cellular network as you can use any apps with the internet connection provided by the eSIM to make calls or send texts. It uses secure credentials to access wireless networks and can be activated using QR codes or manual activation codes. You’ll be able to use this service only at your destination of travel and during your service dates. This feature eliminates the need for you to get a new number or purchase a local SIM card as all your communication can be carried out through apps over the data connection provided by the eSIM.

Flight Alerts:

It offers notifications for changes in flight details, such as changes in departure time, airport terminals, gates, and baggage belt details. While the service covers nearly all global flights, there could be occasional exceptions where activation is not possible due to data constraints imposed by airports or airlines. What makes this feature so useful is that it activates 24 hrs before the departure of the flight, making it really easy for customers to make decisions with adequate time once they’re alerted of the change.

Free Lounge Access for delayed flights:

Imagine you just found out that your flight has been delayed and you’re already at the airport. It would be a total annoyance that you’d now have to deal with by waiting even longer. The good news is, SmartDelay gives you access to a network of over 1300 airport lounges worldwide. If the airline announces a delay that meets or exceeds the qualifying delay threshold, you will receive a LoungeKey™ voucher that provides access to a lounge at the airport where you are delayed for the same day as your flight. This helps customers wait for their flight till the updated time of departure of the flight under more comfortable circumstances.

Flight Compensation:

This feature helps customers with the process of claiming compensation for cancelled or delayed flights. You could also receive substantial compensation for luggage issues (destruction, loss, damage, delay) as well as for extra expenses caused by flight disruptions. The best thing about this feature is that it helps customers exercise their right to seek deserving compensation for such inconveniences.
