Google Trends

Google Trends Insights:
This graph shows us that Qatar Airways is a company with better offers for people living in Canada. It also confirms that there are more immigrants from Arabian region in Canada rather than from Central Europe. When people are trying to find flights, they are usually typing names of airlines rather than country of destination.  

 LSI Keywords 

LOT Polish Airlines:
 
  • See my reservation
  • Ticket LOT
  • Polish Airlines LOT 

American Airline:

  • Manage booking
  • Book a flight
  • Online check in

Most of the keywords from generator are on the website but just a couple of them are entirely equal.


 Summary & Conclusion

Both companies offer flights many flights to many different places. LOTs’ strengths are cheap prices and high comfort quality. When QAs’ offers to his customer safety trips and also high comfort quality.  The keywords   sentences “Safety, price, comfort” are found on the homepage where both companies describe their service.

By living in Canada we have limited options, because cities like Toronto are just one of many which are offered, so to go to other cities just using these airlines, you will have to transfer flight. In overall LOT website is working slower, but it has much more established links. I am of the view that LOT has better SEO, because planes are still the most safety type of transport between places, there is a fact that you have more chance to die during the way on airport in car, rather than flying on plane.
