Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

Kayak

Simply the best way to find a flight on the Internet. I travel most every week, and this site has more search features, reaches more airlines, and finds better flights than anything else out there. The key is they don't sell flights directly, so they aren't beholden to the airlines. You can search by departure time, arrival time, include nearby airports and use flexible dates. You can filter by airline or frequent flier program, while excluding connections, redeyes, and small planes. Best of all, the interface is slick and fast, so you don't have to reenter a bunch of information when you tweak your travel plans. Don't believe it? Kayak will even launch the other travel search engines with your details so you can compare! (TC)

Dreaming in Hindi
