JT Holmes is booking a hotel room while skydiving!
Remember the last time you jumped out of a plane and thought, “Oh shoot! I forgot to book a hotel for my family getaway this weekend!” – wasn’t that horrible? Didn’t you wish there was a way to easily and quickly book a hotel room from almost anywhere, even at the very last minute?
All kidding aside, not many travelers find themselves jumping out of airplanes like extreme athlete and stuntman, JT Holmes (pictured above), but a vast majority do have a need to book accommodations on-the-go or in-a-pinch – especially as the use of mobile devices as consumer travel tools increases.
In tune with this trend and the needs of travelers, hotels.com continues to launch new applications with sophisticated functionality, such as its high-speed mobile booking application, which allows users to book rooms at its network of almost 140,000 worldwide hotels.
What’s more, today, hotels.com launched an exciting, “extreme” campaign centered on this valuable app; teaming up world-renowned skydiver, JT Holmes, to put on a wild digital demonstration to prove just how easy it is to book a room while doing just about anything – even flying at over 115 miles per hour in a 15,000 foot freefall!
This stunt is a live-action version of a hotels.com animated television commercial.
