TripAdvisor flies into airport territory

TripAdvisor flies into airport territory

TripAdvisor has launched a page dedicated to airports, helping travellers kill time in style at airports around the world.

When travellers search for an airport on TripAdvisor, they will be directed to a dedicated airport page with reviews, ratings and other information about hotels nearby, as well as restaurants and attractions in both public and transit areas.

Travellers will never again be at a loss of what to do, where to eat and where to stay at 200 major airports globally, with amenities also including duty free stores, boutiques and airport lounges.

“Over 3.1 billion travellers pass through airports each year with the average traveller spending 150 minutes of airport dwell time from arriving at the terminal to the doors of the plane closing at the gate2,” TripAdvisor’s senior vice president of global product Adam Medros said.

“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.”

“With the launch of airport pages, not only will travellers have access to airport information at their fingertips, but businesses will also be able to market themselves directly to travellers worldwide searching on TripAdvisor.”

Changi Airport is the first airport in the world with hundreds of its amenities listed on TripAdvisor, while other key airports to be launched next month include John F. Kennedy International Airport and London Heathrow Airport.

“As the world’s most awarded airport, Changi has won many fans across the globe and we are proud to be the first airport on TripAdvisor to feature our amenities and encourage travellers to visit and review them,” Changi Airport Group’s senior vp for corporate and marketing communications Ivan Tan said.

“We believe providing useful information on what is available at the airport will help travellers make the most of their time here.”

Australian airports which will feature on TripAdvisor:

  • Townsville Airport
  • Kingsford Smith Airport Sydney
  • Launceston Airport
  • Cairns Airport
  • Tullamarine Airport Melbourne
  • Canberra Airport
  • Gold Coast Airport
  • Adelaide Airport
  • Brisbane Airport
  • Perth Airport

TripAdvisor airport pages will be available on all 45 TripAdvisor sites and in 28 languages globally and on the TripAdvisor mobile app.

Travellers will be able to use the “Near Me Now” feature on the TripAdvisor mobile app to find amenities nearby through the smartphone’s GPS when they are at the airport.
