Tired of wading through the muck of trying to figure out your best flight option? Instead of spending all day with a calculator or searching multiple Websites , here's a 1-stop shopping option from TripAdvisor. All the costs, seat assignments, flight times, connections--all in one easy-to-navigate Website. Here's an article telling you more about it--good intel starts at Para. #10: www.nytimes.com/2009/03/10/business/10road.html Here's the site itself: www.tripadvisor.com/Flights NB--I haven't tried it and it's in beta, not the final version, but it looks really helpful. |

ive been using www.sidestep.com for years... It seems to be the best option almost always, and gives you tons of info... |

No controversey here, Brother QBF. Seems to me a prudent flier might want to check out both sites. By the way, TA is owned by Expedia.com. Don't know if that introduces conflicts-of-interest or not. |

American Airlines( AA.COM) has been giving some of the lowest prices I have found. Bos-mia-sjo round trip with taxes and etc was $311. |

That TA site looks an awful lot like kayak.com which I've found to be very helpful |

Brother Klockman--They may well have licensed some material and features from other companies--that's quite common, instead of totally reinventing the wheel. Strengthens rather than weakens its value. Plus of course TA wants to keep those eyeballs in-house for the benefit of its advertisers. |

Oh for sure, I was just commenting that layout and search engine seemed very familiar right down to the welcome back message after you leave the site to book your flight. I'm always in favor of anyone that wants to get me the best fare available! Just making an observation, that's all. Just in case their info is different than kayak, have bookmarked both |

I just used Tripadviser.com/flights last night and booked ORD/SJO/ORD for $284.43 on Delta. The nice thing is it directs you to the airlines' website, so you do get the extra miles for booking direct with the airline. |
