Travel Search Innovator

One of the newest travel search engines is Hipmunk . .

Hipmunk s innovation is in its layout of travel search results. Search for flights and you are given a visual representation of flight details, including cost, length of flight, time of day, and whether or not the flight has wifi. All of these are mapped on a useful grid, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of itinerary building. Look to Hipmunk s efficient format to catch on very quickly.
