How Trips Get Booked
As developers begin peeling through the dynamic layers of Netcaster's push content technology, certain kinds of content emerge as prime candidates for Internet Channels. An online resource for time-sensitive information like late breaking travel bargains, flight schedules, and airport weather reports could become an indispensable tool for the saavy traveler. And that's exactly what the Travelocity channel intends to be.

The Travelocity channel extends Sabre Interactive's successful website into the interactive edge of the internet. The channel features Today's Lowest Fares, a dynamically updated priceguide that features the lowest round-trip airfares between pairs of Travelocity's seven most popular cities. These fares are updated three times daily by SABRE, the computer reservation system used by the professional travel agents around the world.

Other dynamically updated content on the channel includes Travel News headlines from USA Today, additional promotional bargains, and Weather Reports from around the world. Through the channel, the wired traveller can explore a destination through the insight of Frommer's experts, and actually book that dream trip--all online!

Visit the channel through the netcaster channel finder in communicator 4.0
