edit Finding What's Right For You
Searching for flights on BravoFly.co.uk is easy. Simply enter your departure and arrival cities, dates of travel, how many tickets you need and hit the search button. Their search engine will search through all available flights and give you a list of all the airlines, prices and flight times. If the list is too long and you wish to narrow it down more, the site includes filters you can use to make it easier. An interactive calendar shows other cities you can travel to and from and alternate dates where the flights are cheaper. So if your travel plans are flexible, BravoFly.co.uk will give you some great less expensive options to consider.
A unique search feature on the site is the low cost map tab. Some low cost fares are only ever offered from certain airports. This function allows you to enter the departure or arrival city and see all the possible low cost connections available on that route.

edit Hotels, Cars, and Travel Guides
BravoFly.co.uk is more than just a place to book your air tickets. If it is a hotel you need, BravoFly can help with that as well. The site is partnered with some great hotel reservation providers, offering over 100,000 hotels around the world to choose from. You can search for hotels by city, address or hotel name. Just like the airline search function, BravoFly will give you a complete list of available hotels with the ability to compare options and prices, so you can book the best deal available with exactly the options you want. The service is completely free to use.
And because you shouldn't be spending all your time in airplanes or hotels, BravoFly lets you book car rentals online at the most competitive prices in the market. If you're lucky you might even catch the special offers and upgrades they offer every now and again. Included in the price of each rental is unlimited mileage, 24 hour breakdown coverage, fire and theft protection and taxes. And if you put down a small deposit when you book, you get the added benefits of no cancellation fees, amendment fees or credit card fees!
Once you've booked a car and are ready to roll, you'll need to know the best places to roll to. And once again, BravoFly does not disappoint. As a complete travel booking site, free travel guides to the most popular destinations are available in PDF format to be downloaded. These guides are all written by local authors who know their cities best. Some of them are available in several languages making them extremely user friendly. They feature maps, tourist attractions, must-visit sites, restaurants, and events.
edit Booking, Customer Service, and Payment Options
Once you have used the site to find the best deals, make sure you book them when you see them because these fares sell out quickly. You can book online on BravoFly's secure site powered by PayPal, or you can call the customer service number. BravoFly uses GeoTrust certification to protect and guarantee your online transaction. This is a simple credit card purchasing system for airline companies that guarantees maximum transaction safety. You can choose to pay via American Express, Visa, or Mastercard. All payments can be made in Pound Sterling, if you'd like to pay in a different currency, go to BravoFly.com
Even after you have booked, BravoFly is there when you need them with a team of qualified operators available to help with any problems you might encounter. You will receive immediate assistance when calling their customer service number which is accessible from all countries. This service is available in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish and offers you help with your trip every step of the way.

Title
The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...
Purpose
The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.
Search Engines
Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.
Length
A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.
Content
The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.
- Good: This web page has a title tag.
- Warning: The title tag for this page is too long. It should be 70 characters or less, including spaces.
- The title of this site's home page:
- “Bravofly low cost flights: special airfares to buy the cheapest flights”
H1 Headings
The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...
Just one H1
In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.
Purpose
Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.
Content and placement
The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.
The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.
The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.
- Good: This page has one H1 heading.
- Warning: The H1 heading on this page is too long. It should have no more than 70 characters, including spaces.
- Warning: The H1 heading for this page is too long. It should have no more than 10 words.
- H1 heading for this site's home page:
- “Cheap airfares, low cost flights: compare prices & buy the cheapest flight!”

Links & Images
Sites You Link To
Outbound links tell search engines which websites you find valuable and relevant to your own site, and help your visitors find what they need…even if it’s not on your site. Learn more ...
Search engines
Including links to relevant sites is good for your website's standing with search engines. The Web is all about linking, and carefully chosen outbound links tell search engines that you understand their value to site visitors. These outbound links also help search engines classify your site in relationship to others.
Here, we identify only the outbound links on this site's home page, but outbound links add value to any important page on a website.
Site visitors
Outbound links tell people that you want to provide them with good information, even if it’s not on your own site. These links can also prompt other people to link to your site, which can boost its reputation and ranking in search results.
Here, we identify only the outbound links on this site's home page, but outbound links add value to any important page on a website.

Image Descriptions
Image descriptions - also called alt text - are the best way to describe images to search engines and to visitors using screen readers. Learn more ...
Help for visitors with impaired vision
People with impaired vision use screen readers to help them “read” websites. If you provide descriptive alt text for images on your site, people using screen readers will know what the images are about, and will get the same full understanding of your site that others do.
Good for search engine rankings
Describing images on a web page with alt text can help the page rank higher in search results if you include important and relevant keywords. Do not be tempted to stuff irrelevant keywords into alt text just so a page will rank well for those words. Search engines can recognize this ploy for what it is: an attempt to game results.
Writing image descriptions
This is what an image description looks like in HTML:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="This is the image description">
You can write image descriptions, or alt text, by writing the HTML directly into the code for a web page. If you’re using a content management system or online commerce software package, it will probably have a feature to help you quickly create alt text for your images.
Caution: While some software packages automatically generate alt text, they don't always do it well. Always check the quality of automatically generated alt text.
- Warning: Some of your images don't have descriptions.

Robots
Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...
Purpose
Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.
Be careful!
If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.
Search engine robots
You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.
- Google’s bot is called Googlebot. Google is the world’s largest search engine, and is where many people discover new websites.
- Bing’s bot is called msnbot. Bing also provides search results to people using Yahoo to search the Web. Together, Bing and Yahoo are the second largest search resource, after Google.
- Baidu’s bot is called Baiduspider. Baidu is a major search engine in China, and the number of people using it is increasing rapidly.
- AboutUs.org’s bot is called AboutUsBot. To create a Site Report, AboutUs uses crawling technology that’s similar to what search engines use.
- Good: This website’s robots.txt file is not blocking major search engines from crawling its pages. Your website can appear in any engine’s search results.
Canonical Url
This website can live at www.BravoFly.co.uk or BravoFly.co.uk. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...
Choose one or the other
Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.
Be careful!
If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.
If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.

- Good: Your website resides at www.BravoFly.co.uk, and BravoFly.co.uk is permanently redirected to it.
