MAJOR changes have been made to the Lastminute.com website.
A number of new sections have been added including ‘golfing
weekends’, ‘student life’ and ‘red hot tickets’. In addition a ‘staying in’
section has been created allowing consumers to order take away food and get DVD
disks delivered to their homes 24 hours a day.
Meanwhile the product range has been expanded following the
extension of relationships with companies including the airlines Air France,
Alitalia and Lufthansa.
Behind the scenes, the website’s technology has been
upgraded allowing faster download time, better search facilities and a mapping
tool allowing users to find hotels, restaurants and other entertainments in
their area.
Lastminute.com co-founder Brent Hoberman said: “Customers
will find that our recent improvements have dramatically reduced the time it
takes to arrange special summer activities and holidays.”
