Great news travellers, you no longer have to roam airports in search of what to eat while waiting for that connecting flight as leading travel site, TripAdvisor has provided a solution to that challenge.
According to Adam Medros, TripAdvisor's senior vice president, global product, the move was a way to help the over 3.1 billion travelers who pass through airports each year quickly find things to do on the site while they're waiting to catch a flight, or book an airport hotel when they need a place to stay.
Said Medros,
"Over 3.1 billion travelers pass through airports each year, with the average traveler spending 150 minutes of airport 'dwell time' between arriving at the terminal to the doors of the plane closing at the gate, we want to help them quickly find things to do on the site while they're waiting to catch a flight, or book an airport hotel when they need a place to stay."
TripAdvisor says its airport pages will allow users to rate restaurants, hotels, attractions, duty free stores, boutiques and lounges while also giving them the ability to find the cheapest flights to that airport.
So, who's looking forward to a flight lay-over now with the new TripAdvisor page to help pass time?
