New seat reservation at Omio: Comfort for travelers in Germany

A new trend in travel behavior: group trips are booming

The travel industry experiences a remarkable change, especially in the area of ​​group trips. Omio, the leading platform for booking travel, has now introduced new features that meet the needs of these travel types. The introduction of seat reservations for train and air travel could make a decisive contribution to improving the communication experience among travelers.

What does the introduction of "Seat Maps" and "Seat Maps Air"?

With the new functions "Seat Maps" for train trips and "Seat Maps Air" for air travel, travelers can now choose their seat in advance. This means that you can decide for yourself whether you want to reserve a window seat, a gait or other special places, such as in the resting compartment on trains. A graphic seating plan facilitates the selection of the visual presentation of the available places, which enables simple and user -friendly booking.

The growing popularity of group trips

OMIO has recorded a significant increase in booking group trips in the past two years. Over a third of all bookings in Germany for 2024 are already on this type of travel. Popular destinations for group travelers are cities such as Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt, which not only offer cultural highlights, but are also important venues for sports and music events. This development shows that more travelers appreciate the joint experience in the group, be it with friends or family.

The relevance of this innovation

Veronica Diquattro, President B2C & Supply at Omio, expresses itself optimistically about the new functions: "At Omio, we are committed to optimizing travel planning. We are therefore pleased to present a fundamental innovation in this area." Due to the possibility of selecting the desired seat when booking, the entire planning becomes more pleasant and ensures more comfortable travel - especially groups that want to sit together.

Future view for the travel platform

to the successful introduction, Omio will promptly expand the functions for other airlines and train providers. "Seat-Maps" for SNCF, Ouigo Spain, Renfe and Movelia are planned to further optimize the travel options. This step could further increase the attractiveness of OMIO for travelers and underline the trend towards individual bookings and seating selections.
