Have you ever tried to plan and book an entire holiday online?

If so, then you will know that bringing multiple travel components together to create a detailed and customised travel itinerary has always been an extremely frustrating exercise due to all the variables involved (price, ever changing availability, operating hours, distance, travel time, weather etc).

Well you can now leave those bad travel planning memories in the past and never look back. ePlanner makes it easier and more rewarding than ever before to plan a customised travel itinerary to or within Australia.

ePlanner’s search and planning functionality is free to use and will enable you to plan your entire holiday using live availability and pricing data. You can then book what you have planned, with clarity and confidence that everything fits together well, fits within your budget, meets your requirements and that you are getting the absolute maximum value out of your travel time and money!

The website has been live for a while now and users have already made use of our search and booking functionality to find and book their flights, vehicle hire, accommodation and activities from a huge range of options and at fantastic prices.

We have received some wonderful feedback and will be rolling out a new and improved version of the website shortly. We will post about the changes closer to rolling them out.

Here are some of the ways in which ePlanner makes travel planning easy right now:

Firstly ePlanner consolidates a travel options from all over the internet to provide you with a huge range of options to choose from and great rates.

ePlanner then allows you to save any items you find on ePlanner to your travel itinerary (your “ePlan”), using live availability, pricing, times, contact details and much more.

Once items have been saved/entered into your ePlan, you are also able to:

• View maps and get directions between each of these items
• Search for travel options within a set distance of any of these items
• Edit the selected options for any of these items (e.g. session, number of tickets, number of guests)
• Move these items around in your ePlan using live availability and pricing info
• View info on each item, including contact details and booking references if they have been booked.
• Make sure that everything fits to your budget for that day or a specified period
• Add your own notes to each item
• Follow through and book any of these items with ease

You can also add items to your ePlan manually if you wish to add something not available on ePlanner.
