Road Warriors Web 2.0

For those who are looking for ways to never overpay for a flight again, try out these services:


Farecast.com is the first airfare prediction website. They help online travel shoppers save money by answering the question; should you buy now or wait? Farecast now offer airfare predictions from over 75 U.S. departure cities to top domestic destinations.

This site focuses on building new product features that will help travel shoppers make more confident and smarter airfare purchase decisions.




FareCompare.com wants to improve the current shopping process by providing relevant information to consumers in a timely fashion.

They receive and process fares directly from the airlines. Each fare shown is a valid fare on that airline. Unfortunately, sometimes inventory (seats) is limited/unavailable for the selected fare on your selected dates. On average each airline files from 10-20 fares between any two cities.



Yapta's purpose is to make it easy for you to secure the best airfare deals available on the Web. They do this by giving you a tool to "tag" the trips you like while shopping online, then Yapta tracks prices on these trips and alerts you when prices drop. Yapta also gives you a single place to keep all of your trips online. It's a pretty simple concept, but for some reason, no one has done this before.
