Destination content – is it the next big thing?

Possibly… No airline has yet perfected the selling of this product

Attach rates on some airline sites are under 0.1%

Fliers either buy from airline, or when they arrive Airline knows where and when traveler is going

Airline knows who is going (family/couple/solo)

Airline knows traveler’s service preference (eco/biz)

Requires opt-in (some opt-in results > 70%)
