Cheapflights US up and running with new design

As reported a month ago, Cheapflights in the US was busily beta testing various elements of its new site.

We published a sneak peak of the new site in our February edition.

The beta is now over and a full relaunch, with new back-end functionality, was unveiled today out of the price comparison site's Boston office.

The top line improvements, according to Cheapflights:

• Enhanced location-based search function gives travelers more ways to find excellent deals.
• Gives advertisers new, more profitable ways to target consumers.
• Changes improve scalability facilitating easy international expansion.
• An expanded content library covers everything from airport security information and currency exchange rates.
• Tips on the best times to visit more than 500 highlighted destinations worldwide. This proprietary material is written firsthand by Cheapflights’ own in-house editorial staff.

Expect the UK site to follow suit shortly, or at least by the end of year.
