Searching For Travel Deals

As you may recall, last September we began beta testing our new travel search engine, Yahoo! FareChase. We've received a ton of feedback since then and wanted to let you know we rolled out some additional upgrades including:

*Extended support for multiple browsers (including Firefox, Safari & Netscape)

*More tools to refine your search results by number of stops, flight times, airlines and nearby airports

*Ability to sort search results by price and departure times

We recently added FareChase to Yahoo! Next -- either jump on the message boards there or comment on this blog...we'd love you know what you think.

Faresearch is a great tool, but Yahoo could improve it much faster by adding more carriers fares (especially for European travel) to the database (vs adding more features to the service).

Also, adding the low cost carriers fares somehow (even though they don't normally use Faresearch-type of services) would be a unique improvement.

Thanks for the feedback. During this beta period, we are continuously working on expanding our list of participating partners, including low cost and international carriers. Stay tuned for more updates.
