The first feature had to do with payment options.  When you were ready to pay and selected your credit card, you were given several options for payment on instalments.  Yes, the airline enabled me to pay on instalments on my credit card.  That’s credit on your credit, non?

You could either pay your amount in total with no interest, or you could make up to 12 installments with 2.99.a.m. which I assume is the interest rate.  Wait, not yet finished.  If you chose up to 6 installments you were charged no interest.  Amazing!  Now, if they could only offer this service for long-haul first class/suites flights on Singapore Airlines.  Actually, maybe that’s not so good of an idea … I’d likely be paying it off for years.

Next feature …

When the booking was finally confirmed and you were ready to print out your itinerary, it asked you if you wanted to print an EcoPrint version (all important information on one page), just the Fare Rules, or Print Everything.

Smart!  Especially since often when you print your itinerary you end up printing one page of useful info and then four pages of fine-print terms and conditions that no one reads … but which you invariably get upset over at the airport when checking in.

For a LCC I have to say that GOL’s website is one of the most efficient (and least annoying) that I’ve seen till now.
