Last year, DailySocial once do a review about TiketDomestik.com a service that provides information on ticket prices and flight schedules, this article is one of the articles most viewed by DailySocial readers, which in my opinion indicates that ticket information service providers are one of the services needed by the public, especially active users of flight services.

Another service that provides ticket information is Tiket2.com. Tiket2.com provides several services in the form of information on a list of domestic flight schedules from various cities in Indonesia, facilities to compare schedules and flight ticket prices, as well as providing facilities booking, all of which can be found in one place.

Users can search for flight information from various cities in Indonesia according to the selected departure/arrival time and city, and set whether the trip will be one way or round trip. The Tiket2 site is available in two languages, which makes it easy for users, whether from Indonesia or tourists, to search for flight data.

The appearance of their website is also quite pleasant, and if you are looking for a specific flight schedule, apart from getting information on flight schedules and airlines, there is also a variety of information about the airport, whether it is the place of departure or the airport that is the destination, including transportation information and arrival taxes.

One thing that is interesting to see is the contact address of Tiket2, which is located in Jogja, I myself was curious to find information about this, after contacting Tiket2 it turned out co-founder of Tiket2 are from Poland, they are Michal Czajkowski and Juliusz Calyniuk. Web development and technology are all done from Poland, while the address on their website is the office address of PT Grami Setya Mulya, which is Tiket2's partner in handling consumer-related services and partners in providing services. booking ticket.

Tiket2's market share is indeed focused on Indonesia, which consists of local users as well as tourists who want to get information on domestic flights, that's why they provide bilingual facilities. For payments, a popular interbank transfer system is also provided for local users and is being developed for payments using PayPal and credit cards.

Michal also explained that in addition to the local market share which is the main target for Tiket2 users, the foreign tourist market is also their concern. "Foreign tourists market is very important for us, and we will be gradually increasing our exposure to those people in other countries who are willing to come and visit Indonesia."

For the monetization strategy, Tiket2 gets income from booking fees and advertising. Michal explained that currently Tiket2 is still in the early development stage, they are still using Google AdSense to generate revenue from advertising, but in March, Tiket2 will launch an advertising offer for companies interested in advertising on their services.

The most interesting facilities from Tiket2 are of course the facilities bookingAfter getting flight schedule information, comparing prices from each airline, the user can immediately make the ticket booking process, the user will later get e-ticket Lewat Email.

Several other facilities that Tiket2 provides as a means of making it easy to find airline ticket information as explained by Michal include, Tiket2 will store all search data made by their users, this will allow the Tiket2 system to learn and present interesting information for users, for example best departure date information based on the cheapest ticket price. Apart from that, Tickets too aggregate Departure information from various cities in one page, making it easy to choose popular flight schedules.

When asked about the technology used to build Tiket2, Michal explained, "Tiket2 is backed up by Symfony, a powerful web application framework (Delicious, Yahoo! Bookmarks and Dailymotion use it too). With an addition of ORM Doctrine and a non-relational database MongoDB, Symfony speeds up the creation and maintenance of our website ."

When this article was written, it seems that Tiket2 is having problems with their ticket booking facility via their site, but reservations can still be made by telephone.

Some of the facilities that are being developed and will be provided by Tiket2 in addition to payment facilities using credit cards and PayPal are affiliate systems for service entrepreneurs tours & travels Small-medium scale, this facility from Tiket2 will help provide professional ticket booking services.
