5. About Let me think
The Let me think service is a new all-in-one, booking-engine
agnostic platform developed by Airsavings that merges the burgeoning
world of social media with economically viable (and vital) ancillary revenue
opportunities.
Rather than resorting to old-fashioned word-of-mouth tactics to discuss
one s travel plans or secure booking through another channel, Let me
think combines both functions into a single experience - through Facebook.
Populated with more than 900 million users (and soon-to-be a billion!)
Facebook currently reaches one-seventh of the global population.
That is a lot of potential passengers and eyeballs!

*For 2010, IdeaWorks estimates airlines will generate a total of €18.4 billion of worldwide ancillary revenues.
6. How does it work?
"Let me think" allows a potential passenger to log into their Facebook profile within the
booking path, where they are then taken to a "passenger's details" page. Once there, the
traveller will find their first and last name and email address automatically pre-populated and
extracted from their Facebook profile…A world first for the airline industry!
Travellers also have the freedom to select a fare that meets their budget and itinerary, and have
the ability to place the fare on hold while they connect with friends and family, relaying travel
plans and sharing their flight details in the process. They can also sneak a peek at profiles of
other travellers that share their same flight plans.
In addition, they can share the competitive fare on their Facebook wall for others to take
advantage of.
Airsavings is now gearing up for its next
level deployment, where passengers will be
able to send discount coupons directly from
the airline's confirmation page to their
Facebook friends – creating a viral experience
and extra income for airlines.

Drives purchase preference and loyalty by providing
convenience and assurance by ensuring the fare is reserved:

family and decide upon booking the flight or not
