Trabber presents a new feature for its hotels search engine. By clicking on “Map of displayed hotels“, Trabber will locate the results on the map of the selected destination.
To obtain additional information on a hotel you only need to click on the marker that indicates the position.
You can still use Trabber´s filtering and sorting functionallity that will be automatically fed to the map
Several airlines, not just low cost carriers, are charging an extra fee for every bag checked. To provide a more realistic comparison between prices offered by low cost and traditional airlines, we have added on Trabber’s latest update a control to select the number of bags you plan to travel with.
On Trabber’s flight results you will find on the right side, a drop-down list that allows selecting the number of bags. After the selection is made, all prices will be updated automatically taking into account this fee. Note that this drop-down list will only appear when Trabber software detects that on your search there is at least an airline that might apply the luggage fee.
Trabber´s new update integrates Google Maps to show the location and detailed information of airports in each city. Therefore, just beside the airport filter on the right side of search results, there is now 2 links (“map”), that will display on a map origin or destination airports respectively.
Clicking on any airports will show the distance to the city centre, the time zone, and a link to the airport’s website (available for some airports)
We continue to improve Trabber’s flight search engine so that you don’t miss any great offers out there. In the last couple of weeks we’ve begun to include flights from the websites of Air France, British Airways and Qatar Airways.
We’re always pleased to hear your ideas on how we can make Trabber better, so keep contacting us by email or through Trabber´s Development Forum.
Integrating Trabber on your site is now possible and available in 5 countries/languages. Just the following HTML code is required:
Note that the address specified for each language is slightly different:
for United Kingdom: src = "http://www.trabber.co.uk/search_box"
for Germany: src = "http://www.trabber.de/search_box"
for Italy: src = "http://www.trabber.it/search_box"
for France: src = "http://www.trabber.fr/search_box"
for United States: src = "http://www.trabber.com/us/search_box"
Additonally, there are several parameters that can be used to change the behaviour of the Trabber Search Box:
flight_type = 1 for a oneway flights and 2 for both ways
from_city = TLC code of the origin city
from_date = departure date
to_city = TLC code of the destination city
to_date = return date
n_adults = number of adults
n_children = number of children
n_infants = number of infants
target = “_blank” to open the search results on a new browser windows
css = to specify the .css file to be used (url to be located on your server)
Here is an example of a source request where the css, departure and destination city are configured:
src = "http://www.trabber.co.uk/search_box?css=http://www.mi_ip_address.com/my_style.css&from_city=LON&to_city=MAD"
All TLC codes can be found on this website – www.world-airport-codes.com
Thanks to last weeks’ developments, Trabber flight search engine already extracts information from 40 online travel agencies and airline websites to allow users to easily find the best flight deals.
Recently, we have added to the service three low cost airlines: TUIfly (tuifly.com), Iceland Express (icelandexpress.com) and Smart Wings (smartwings.com) as well as 2 more traditional airlines: Brussels Airlines (brusselsairlines.com), and bmi (flybmi.com), which certainly will improve Trabber´s results in several European routes.
Over the coming weeks, we will present new features and add new airlines and agencies to the service. If you miss something in Trabber, send us your ideas or suggestions!
This is the first post in this new Trabber Blog in English.
From now on, we will use this blog to post in English about all the news relevant to Trabber users outside Spain. And we will keep using the original blog to post about news for users in Spain.
We have migrated all the English posts in the original blog to this one. This is why this post doesn’t really look like the first one.
We have added air fares from low cost airline LTU to Trabber. LTU is a german airline that have been acquired some months ago by Air Berlin, one of the leading low cost airlines in Europe. The company has many routes throughout Europe and also offers transalatic flights to America and Asia.
We believe this new development will help to improve Trabber’s results. If you have any feedback or comment contact us via email o through our new development forums, already available in English, Spanish, French or Italian.
Trabber has a new logo!
It has been created by Mike Rohde from MakaluMedia.
We have been working on it for several months, doing iterations from the black and white sketches to the final color logo. We are very pleased with the end result. Mike is really good at this. We first knew about him through a post that describes the process he follows for designing a logo, and then Eduardo confirmed Mike was the right person for the job.
So, what do you think about the new logo ?
I have created a support/discussion forum for Trabber users. The forum is addressed mainly to German users, since this is the only country where Trabber is available besides Spain.
