The FINANCIAL -- Star Alliance, the way the Earth connects, has become the first global airline alliance to offer online booking and ticketing to convention delegates, according to Star Alliance.

The new booking tool allows the convention organisers to direct their participants to a dedicated online booking and ticketing site for all air travel contracted under Star Alliance Conventions Plus.

The new online booking tool complements the existing traditional fulfilment channels. Organisers can use the new tool to inform the delegates of travel options offered by the participating airlines for the selected convention. Delegates can then check real time availability and fares for their required itinerary, book the appropriate flights, and purchase the corresponding ticket.
