My favorite (cheap) flight-finding web site: Mobissimo
Friday, March 18th, 2005I’ve tried them all out, and www.Mobissimo.com is the best. It covers the most ground and finds the cheapest prices. Its interface is simple. It’s for finding cheap what www.indeed.com is for finding a new job.
Good idea for airport security checkpoints
Thursday, March 10th, 2005There’s a new player in some United States airports (both Houston airports, New York’s LaGuardia, Liberty in Newark, N.J., and Dulles in Washington): ReturnKey (www.itemreturn.com), which promises to ship items confiscated at the airport security check.
Prices Up!
Wednesday, March 9th, 2005USA Today: climbing oil prices mean cut flights and higher prices — about $20 more per ticket, they say.
According to Reuters, each dollar increase in a barrel of oil means 3 cents more per gallon of airplane gas.
So I guess the question here is, when does this escalation end, what happens if it doesn’t, and why didn’t USA Today ask those questions themselves?
