Etihad Airways Reduces Cost per Flight Search by 4x With Dynamic Ads for Travel

With travel interest slowly returning, Etihad Airways shifted its paid media strategy to focus on automation in the face of volatile consumer demand and challenging business conditions. The brand sought to drive efficiency at scale in order to develop consumer consideration in the form of flight searches, ultimately to convert into bookings.

Looking to build upon the success of its always-on performance campaigns on Snapchat, Etihad began to test Dynamic Ads for Travel. This new solution designed specifically for travel industry advertisers provided an easy and automated way to prospect and retarget travellers on Snapchat with a specific catalog or feed, and dynamically deliver relevant flight or hotel offerings to users based on the individual user's travel preferences and intent.

Dynamic Ads for Travel was able to deliver impactful results at scale. In terms of building consumer interest, Dynamic Ads for Travel drove a cost per flight search 4x lower versus static (non-dynamic) campaigns. ¹ In addition, Dynamic Ads for Travel were successful in driving efficient bookings as well, increasing ROAS by over 300% and decreasing cost per purchase by over 76%. ²
