Goals and Behaviors

  • Users prioritized finding the cheapest flight, viewing all options in one location, comparing fares, intuitively entering dates, and seeing clear extras/services information at every step

  • Behaviors included quickly scanning pages, using calendars for date selection

Key Pain Points

  • Poor contrast or placement of search buttons made them easy to miss.

  • Pricing per person versus total could be unclear.

  • Baggage policies and fare differences were often confusing or hidden within dense text.

  • Unnecessary pop-ups and redundant extras created frustration.

Solution

The design solution creates a clear and confidence-building booking journey by centralizing search, simplifying flight and fare selection with sidebyside comparisons, keeping prices and extras transparent at every step, and using streamlined forms with bold, consistent actions so travelers never have to guess what to do next

Seat selection & Extras

A persistent price summary and minimal use of pop-ups ensure travelers see the true trip cost as they go, which builds trust and prevents lastminute confusion. Forms and primary buttons were simplified and made visually distinct to reduce friction at checkout, in line with best practices for booking and checkout UX
