An airtravel deal isn't just about what you pay for your ticket; what does one say about a ticket that's worth what you paid for it? Certainly when you need to fly, you want a reasonably low-priced ticket, and a nonstop flight would be preferable; but the other half to getting a "deal"would be getting some quality for your money - getting legroom, convenient times, and efficiency in baggage delivery. Now what if there was a flight search service that could actually look up deals for you in the fullest sense of the term - not just something that could shave $50 off your ticket price? There is one now; it's been testing for a couple of years now, and has finally launched, ready for prime time. It's called InsideTrip.com; and it is a service that searchers and ranks airline deals on 12 quality parameters. InsideTrip works in partnership with Orbitz; when you search on InsideTrip for an airtravel deal, it supplies you with the best overall deal it can find with its information from Orbitz, and quality information from its own research; and then it will send you over to Orbitz to buy a ticket, when you have made your choice. The information you get on InsideTrip is delightfully more complete than anything you'd find anywhere elsewhere. As you would do on any other flight booking website, you pick the route you want to travel and the number of travelers you need to buy tickets for. There are a couple of extra fields that appear here too: how many bags you expect to need to bring to check in, and what you expect to eat or drink on the flight (these will be added to the ticket price so you have a better idea what you will end up paying). Actually, to add on all charges you will be expected to shell out, is a pretty good idea. Once it has everything it needs, it puts out a regular list of all the flights they have, with ticket prices and flight quality ratings - your total air travel deal. Flights are rated on how long they take, how punctual they are, how long you need to wait at security check to be waved through, the kind of aircraft they have, how crowded the flight is, and the convenience of how close the departure gate is. Whatever parameter is important to you, you can make sure that the system weighs it that much higher than the others. The airtravel deal system just got a whole lot more sophisticated; with the summer travel season upon us, travelers making travel bookings have no way of knowing through the traditional websites what kind of travel horrors they'll be subjecting their families to. Here is an indication of how anxious people are for such a service - in the two years the service was in beta, millions of travelers used the incomplete system they had to gather information and make bookings. It'sis a great way to avoid all the aggravations modern airtravel has saddled us with; so technology has finally found a way out of a problem technology created in the first place.
