Online travel shopping service Yapta.com has launched a social feature that allows travelers to flaunt their airfare or hotel savings on Facebook.
With this feature, travellers can now choose to flaunt their savings on Facebook once they’ve acted on an alert and booked at a reduced price – or when they’re alerted to a refund or credit from their airline on purchased tickets that have dropped in price.
Yapta users with a Facebook account can post their Frugal Travel Flaunts on their Wall and have friends see them in their news feed. The flaunts consist of short messages.
Travelers can now also use Yapta to post the trips they’re planning on Facebook. Whether traveling for business or leisure, sharing travel plans on Facebook can lead to meet-up and networking opportunities or travel tips on places.
