Southwest Airlines has added an online hotel reservations facility to their website, thus progressing further towards the airline`s goal of making the site a one-stop travel site.
Company travel managers benefit from online hotel reservations since it also has been added to the offerings at SWABIZ. Southwest Airlines launched SWABIZ in February 2000 to assist company travel managers in recording and tracking purchases made through the site.
In December last year, car rental reservation capabilities were added to the site.
In terms of the percentage of overall passenger revenues, southwest.com
is the most successful airline website.
