Frankfurt, Germany July 2010 – Ypsilon.Net AG deploys a revolutionary search engine for flights: “Globalshopper“ expands the standard way of searching for flights in order to allow a much more flexible and "fun" way to search for travel destinations.

The classic search function from A to B on a given date has been enhanced with new criteria that allow an immense flexibility and the biggest choice for an abundance of selections and search options that ever existed in the market.

Examples for the new search options:

•BUDGET: Clients with a budget of e. g. 300 € and time on their hands that do not know where to go.

•TRAVEL DURATION: Clients with e. g. 10 days off searching for a travel destination with a good price-performance-ratio.

•CHEAPEST DEPARTURE AIRPORT: Clients which have defined their travel destination and want to flexibly choose their departure airport by cheapest offer. •CHEAPEST OFFER FOR VARIOUS TRAVEL DESTINATIONS: Clients which simply want to see all the cheapest prices for any destinations and then make up their minds where to go to.

•SELECTION BY CARRIER: Clients with e. g. Lufthansa Miles which want to fly on their miles on a given time range and want an overview of offers for all or selected Lufthansa destinations.

•SELECTION PER FARE TYPE AND PRICE: Clients with a given travel duration and a limited budget, wondering what low cost or regular carrier offers which rates up to their budget limit.

The new Globalshopper technology aggregates on average 90 million of cached fare data for lowcosts, GDS fares and net fares from hundreds of different points of sales and pre- analyzed ATPCO fares provided directly from Ypsilon databases. Availability is then verified and booked once a destination is selected.

Once the destination and date is selected, the user or agent can book his flight in conjunction with a hotel, car and transfer using the Ypsilon dynamic packaging engine with the reassuring knowledge that all transactions are secured through PCI DSS credit card protection. With Globalshopper, Ypsilon again provides advanced technology “ahead of the pack”.

Patrick Coulomb, Ypsilon Vice President Sales and Marketing: “We believe that with this new search mechanism, we respond to the need of the times where flying is a simple commodity and customers need the highest level of flexibility in their search for flights.”
