Umkhuba phakathi kwezinkampani zenethiwekhi ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula kube wukushayela abathengi abaningi kumasayithi abo anezimpawu, futhi isikhali abasikhethayo kule mpi yokwethembeka komkhiqizo kube amakhodi ephromoshini noma esaphulelo, avame ukubizwa ngokuthi amanani okugibela ekhodi yephromo. Zidinga ukuthi ufake ukulandelana okufushane kwezinhlamvu kanye/noma izinombolo lapho ubhukha, futhi ezimweni eziningi zingokhiye abangavula amanani okugibela aphansi kakhulu.
Ukuthola kanjani ukufinyelela? Kunezinhlobo ezintathu eziyinhloko zezimali zokukhangisa:
• Iyatholakala ku-inthanethi ukuze isetshenziswe yinoma ubani, futhi iyakhangiswa esizeni kanye/noma ngemikhankaso eminingi ye-imeyili
• Amadili akhiqizwa ngawodwana aqondiswe ngqo kubathengi ababhalisiwe nge-imeyili
• Amaphromoshini akhethekile akhangiswa kuphela ngamadivayisi ewijethi, njenge-DING yaseNingizimu-ntshonalanga! kanye neDealFinder yaseMelika
Amadili akamuva afake izipesheli ze-JetBlue zesaphulelo esingu-10% kanye nokuthengiswa kwekhodi yephromo engu-50%. Kulungile … isaphulelo sikahhafu. Kwezinye izimo, imali yokukhangisa isho ukwehliswa okuthile okungasukela ku-$15 kuye ku-$30 ngaphansi kwethikithi ngalinye, hhayi inani elincane lomndeni wabane. Futhi kwezinye izimo, izindiza zizokuvumela ukuthi uthumele ikhodi yakho yomuntu siqu kusihlobo noma umngane.
Kunzima ukuthola
Uma kufikwa ekuboneni ukongiwa kwemali yokukhangisa, kukhona okubambekayo kwangempela: ukukuthola. Ngokuvamile ngeke zivele kuleyo sayithi yosesho lokuvakasha oyibhukhimakhi. Indawo eyodwa abazovela kuyo, nokho, ise-Airfarewatchdog, indawo yokusesha ezokuvakasha eyasungulwa umakadebona wentatheli yezokuvakasha uGeorge Hobica.
“Sibona ukwanda kwalezi zindleko zokukhangisa,” kusho uHobica. “Eminyakeni emibili edlule, azikho izinkampani zezindiza ngaphandle kwase-Alaska ezazikwenza lokhu. Ikakhulukazi, iNingizimu-ntshonalanga ibisebenza kakhulu, muva nje. Bebelokhu benolaka ngokushayela abantu kuwebhusayithi yabo.”
Ukudalulwa okuphelele lapha: Sengimazi uGeorge iminyaka eminingi futhi ngike ngabhala ngaphambili mayelana nesizindalwazi sakhe, kule sayithi nakwezinye izindawo. Uhlanganise abasebenzi besikhathi esigcwele “abahlaziyi bemali yendiza” abakwenza ngendlela yakudala—ngamakhibhodi neminwe. Lokho kungase kuzwakale njengobuchwepheshe obuphansi obunqunyiwe ngo-2009, kodwa iqiniso ukuthi ubuchwepheshe "bokukhuhla" obusetshenziswa izinjini zokusesha ezinkulu azikwazi ukwenza konke. Okokuqala, ezinye izinkampani zezindiza—ezifana neNingizimu-ntshonalanga—aziwenzi amanani azo wokugibela atholakale ukuze abhukhe kumasayithi ezinkampani zangaphandle. Futhi, amanani okugibela ekhodi yephromo aklanywe ngokusobala ukuthi ANGATHOLA kumasayithi angaphandle. Umqondo wonke uwukuba inkampani yezindiza ikuyengele kusayithi layo elinegama, lapho ushaya khona izinombolo ezimbalwa kanye/noma izinhlamvu ukuze uthole isivumelwano ongeke usithole kwenye indawo.
Ukukhipha imali yokukhangisa kungase kuthathe umsebenzi owengeziwe, noma kungase kuhlanganise ukubhalisela amasistimu ezixwayiso nokubuka ibhokisi lakho lokungenayo ligcwala. Kodwa-ke, kuya ngokuya kucaca ukuthi kuyingozi kunangaphambili ukubhukha imali yendiza ngaphandle kokuhlola isayithi enebhrendi yaleyo nkampani yendiza kuqala.
Amawijethi, ama-DING, nokulandekayo
Phakathi kwezinkampani ezinkulu zezinkampani zasekhaya, iningi lezinto ezintsha zobuchwepheshe emkhakheni wezindleko zokukhangisa zivela ezinkampanini zezindiza ezimbili ezizinze e-Dallas. Kokubili iNingizimu-ntshonalanga ne-America yenze amagajethi e-techie adizayinelwe ukukuxwayisa ngamadili akhethekile.
INingizimu-ntshonalanga empeleni inikezela ngezinhlelo ezimbili ezihlukene zokwazisa ngemali yendiza:
• Chofoza okuthi 'n Londoloza Izipesheli E-mail. Lo mkhiqizo uletha “okukhethekile okukhethekile” ngokuqondile ebhokisini lakho lokungenayo, futhi uhlinzeka ngezaphulelo zewebhu kuphela ezivela eNingizimu-ntshonalanga, kanye namadili ohambo oluvela ehhotela, ozakwethu bohambo lwesikebhe nokuqasha izimoto.
• I-DING! Uhlelo lokusebenza lwedeskithophu. Leli thuluzi lingadawunilodeka kudeskithophu yakho mahhala, futhi likwazise—DING!—lapho “intengo enesaphulelo esikhulu” isitholakala ezindaweni ozenze ngokwezifiso (izikhumulo zezindiza ezingafika kweziyi-10). Lezi zindleko zokugibela zikhethekile.
Eminye imininingwane mayelana namasistimu womabili iyatholakala ku-southwest.com.
Eminyakeni emibili ngemuva kokwethulwa kwe-DING! ngo-2005, iNingizimu-ntshonalanga yabika ukuthi amakhasimende ayizigidi ezimbili alande iwijethi, ekhiqize ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-150 zamaRandi ekuthengisweni. Kodwa akuwona wonke umuntu ongakwazi ukuhlanganyela, kusukela manje i-DING! isebenza kuphela kuzinguqulo ezikhethiwe ze-Windows ne-Mac OS futhi ayitholakali ezinhlelweni ze-Linux. Futhi okubi kokulandekayo ukuthi abanye abasebenzisi babika ukuthi amawijethi anciphisa isivinini sezinhlelo zabo zokusebenza.
Ngokuqondene ne-American, umkhiqizo wayo we-DealFinder iyithuluzi ledeskithophu elilandekayo elivumela inkampani yezindiza ukuthi ikuthumelele okuphakelayo kwayo kwe-RSS ngokuthengiswa kwemali yokugibela nezipesheli. Ungakwazi ukukhetha kusengaphambili izintandokazi zakho ezithile, njengendawo oya kuyo, izinsuku zokuhamba kanye nokuthi uzimisele ukusebenzisa malini, futhi i-DealFinder izoqhubeka nokusesha futhi ikwazise uma okuthile kutholakala.
Kodwa ozakwabo owabhalisela i-DealFinder emuva lapho yethulwa ngo-2007 ubika ukuthi akakaze athole izibuyekezo zemali yokugibela kamuva nje. Ngabuza umMelika ngalokhu, futhi umkhulumeli wesifazane uMarcy Letourneau waphendula: “Ngenxa yokuthi imali yokugibela, njengoba wazi, iqondiswe, kungenzeka ukuthi nakuba ubona amanani okugibela ambalwa, omunye umuntu (othanda izinto ezihlukile, ngaleyo ndlela athole imali yokugibela ehlukile kunawe. ) kungenzeka ukuthi ubona abaningi noma ngaphezulu. Kuya ngezimakethe, imizila, lapho uhlala khona, njll. ”
I-DealFinder itholakala kuphela kubasebenzisi be-Windows. I-American ithi isebenza kanzima ukuze abasebenzisi be-Mac bakwazi ukufinyelela ithuluzi “ngokushesha,” kodwa inkampani yezindiza ayikwazi ukukhomba idethi ethile ngalesi sikhathi.
Kodwa-ke, uma uzibuza ukuthi kungani ezinye izinkampani zezindiza zingavele zingawaqedi ama-gizmos nama-imeyili futhi zisakaze imali yazo yokukhangisa emhlabeni wonke, kungenzeka ukuthi ihlobene kakhulu nokuhlonza okuthandwa ngamakhasimende nokugcina imininingwane yezinkampani. Njengoba u-Hobica ebonisa, "Amakhodi ephromo ahlola ukusebenza kwemizamo yawo yokumaketha."
Amaphethini wethrafikhi
Ezinkampanini zezindiza, konke kumayelana nokushayela ithrafikhi ye-inthanethi ibuyele kumasayithi azo. Esikhathini esedlule, babevame ukwenza lokhu ngokunikeza ibhonasi njalo ngamamayela okundiza, kodwa manje ngokuvamile kwenziwa ngemali yokugibela ephansi. Cabangela ukuthengiselana okulandelayo kwesizindalwazi esinegama elitholakala kuwebhu kula maviki ambalwa adlule:
• I-Alaska's Winter Clearance Sale ifake imali yokugibela yendlela eyodwa eku-inthanethi esuka e-Seattle ngo-$59 ukuya e-San Francisco, u-$69 ukuya e-Los Angeles, kanye no-$109 ukuya e-Palm Springs.
• Ngamaholide, i-Air Canada inikeze ngesaphulelo sika-15% semali yokugibela kuzo zonke izigaba zezindiza ezingaphakathi e-Canada, kanye nase-US nasezindaweni zamazwe ngamazwe nelanga.
Uzobona izinkampani zenethiwekhi ezinkulu zinikeza imali yokukhangisa ngezinye izikhathi. Kodwa uhlu lwezinkampani zezindiza ezinamakhodi ephromo lulawulwa izinkampani zenethiwekhi zasekhaya ezinezindleko eziphansi, njenge-AirTran, Allegiant, JetBlue, Spirit, USA3000 kanye ne-Virgin America. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindiza ezishibhile ezivela kwamanye amazwe, njengeWestJet yaseCanada, ziye zasebenzisa amathuluzi anjalo okuthengisa. Lokhu akumangazi, njengoba enye yezindlela abathwali ababiza kancane bahlale benezindleko eziphansi ukwehlisa izindleko zabo zokusabalalisa. Futhi lokho kusho ukungakhokhi amakhomishini kuzo zombili izikhungo zokuvakasha eziku-inthanethi nezingaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi, ukungakhokhi izimali kumasayithi okubhuka ezinkampani zangaphandle nokuzama ukwehlisa izindleko zokugcina izikhungo zokubhuka.
Iphuzu eliyinhloko liwukuthi indlela eshibhe ngokuphelele yenkampani yezindiza enikeziwe ukuze ithengise isihlalo kungewebhusayithi yayo, futhi yilokho kanye ezinye izinkampani zenethiwekhi ezigxile kukho manje. Thatha iFrontier Airlines, isibonelo. Ihlinzeka njalo ngezidili ze-inthanethi kanye Nezaziso ze-E-mail esizeni sayo. I-United iphinde inikeze ama-E-Fares, anezaziso ze-imeyili zesaphulelo ngomzuzu wokugcina oshicilelwe njalo ngoLwesibili ngo-12:01 am.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Air Canada inikeza amadili e-imeyili e-webSaver esizeni sayo sase-US. Inkampani yenethiwekhi yaseCanada ithumela nezinhlobonhlobo zemali yokugibela kuwebhu kuphela; ngesonto eledlule "iminikelo eshisayo" ye-webSaver Daily Deals ihlanganisa imali yohambo nokubuya engu-$198 ukusuka e-Seattle ukuya e-Edmonton kanye no-$210 usuka eNew York uya eCalgary. Okunye okunikezwayo okukhethekile kufaka phakathi imali yokugibela engu-$166 yokuya nokubuya esuka ePhiladelphia ukuya ezindaweni ezintathu ezihlukene: eMontreal, e-Ottawa, noma eToronto.
Bese kuba nezinkampani zezindiza—zasekhaya nezangaphandle—ezivele zinikeze amanani okugibela akhethekile kumasayithi azo anegama, ngaphandle kwamakhodi noma amawijethi noma ukuxhawulana okuyimfihlo. Ezinyangeni ezedlule, i-Aer Lingus, i-Air China, kanye ne-Singapore Airlines bonke banikeze amadili anjalo ewebhu kuphela. “Akuwona amakhodi okukhangisa,” kuchaza uHobica. "Kodwa kuyisu elifanayo lokuthengisa, ukushayela abantu kumasayithi abo."
Ingabe ukuqeda lezi zinzuzo kunganwebisa inqubo yakho yokuthenga ku-inthanethi kancane? Yebo. Futhi kwezinye izimo kungase kube nesixwayiso, njengokusebenzisa ikhadi elithile lokushaja ukubhuka. Kodwa ukonga kungenza kube nezinkinga.
Yini ezayo?
Ngokuqondene nabathengi, kusawenza umqondo omkhulu ukuqhathanisa izitolo kanye nezindleko zezindiza ezilinganisiwe kumasayithi okusesha ohambo kanye nezingosi ze-ejensi yokuhamba. Kodwa izizathu eziphikisana nokubhuka ngokusebenzisa amasayithi ezinkampani zangaphandle zilokhu ziqongelela. Ngokungeziwe enanini, amasayithi anegama lenkampani yezindiza nawo anganikeza lezi zinzuzo:
• ukungakhokhisi imali yokubhuka ezimweni eziningi
• ukunikeza amaza endiza engeziwe emzileni othile
• ukuhlinzeka ngezihlalo ezengeziwe endizeni ethile
• ukuhlinzeka ngohambo olungcono, okuhlanganisa izindiza ezingami
Ngakho-ke izitayela ezinjalo zisho ukuthini kumasayithi amakhulu e-ejensi yokuhamba njenge-Expedia, Orbitz, ne-Travelocity? UHobica uthi: “Bengingasongelwa ukube bengiyibo. "Bheka, izinkampani zezindiza zinqamule izikhungo zezitini nodaka [ngokunciphisa ikhomishini] futhi manje kubukeka sengathi zikwenza ezinkampanini zezokuvakasha eziku-inthanethi." Ukufingqa ngale ndlela: “Uma ukuthambekela kuqhubeka, ukukhula kwemakethe ye-OTA [inkampani yezokuvakasha ku-inthanethi] kuzoqhubeka nokwehla.”
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amandla okusatshalaliswa kwezindiza kanye nezomnotho ahlukile ngalesi sikhathi, futhi izindiza eziningi zigcina izivumelwano zokumaketha nokuthengisa ezibanzi nezingosi ze-ejensi yezokuvakasha, ngakho-ke ungawabhali I-Big Three ye-Expedia, Orbitz, ne-Travelocity okwamanje. Kodwa izingosi zezinkampani zangaphandle zizodinga ukuthola izizathu ezintsha neziphoqa abathengi ukuthi baqhubeke nokubhukha ngazo, hhayi nje ukuthenga kuzo.
