Google Street View in Trabber Hotel search engine

2 November 2008

We have integrated Google Street View images to Trabber Hotel search engine to allow users to view the streets where hotels are located. We consider this information could be very useful when deciding to book a hotel.

Next to the address of each hotel and the link that opens the Map, users now can find a new link, View street. By clicking on this link, a 3D imagine provided by this new Google feature will be diplayed. Note that currently Google just support a limited list of cities. Thus, this feature will just be provided in Trabber results where supported by Google (Here you can find the current supported list of cities).

Keep in mind that not always the image displayed will show the front side of the hotel. In such cases, you would be able to see the hotel by turning the 3D image to either side.

Trabber aggregates flight information from 40 websites

14 October 2008

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 and Smart Wings (smartwings.com) as well as 2 more traditional airlines: Brussels Airlines (brusselsairlines.com), and bmi, 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!

Improvements in the flight search engine

16 July 2008

We have made quite a few changes on the results page of the flights search engine. These are the most significant:

  1. One-way flights are automatically combined when it is found that the price is more convenient than in just one purchase.
  2. Duplicated flights from different providers are grouped to better compare prices. On the new layout, users will see the price of the cheaper supplier on the left side of the result set and all other options are also shown next to it.
  3. New filters have been added to allow an easier flight selection.
  4. Improved display performance. The application has been migrated to AJAX that allows a smoother result update as page reloads are eliminated.

We have also made some other changes in design and usability ;).

We hope you enjoy the improvements. You can leave your comments as always on this blog or in https://www.trabber.co.uk/contact.

New hotel search engine on Trabber.co.uk

11 May 2008

We have just launched a new product on the UK version of Trabber, a search engine that helps to compare hotel fares.

It works very similarly to the flight search engine. The software connects simulaneously to several online travel agencies and aggregates the content to allow users to easily compare all options. We have implemented several filters to help on the selection.

Rather than explaining it further I think it is worth a try.

Now it is your time to tell us what do you think 🙂

LTU air fares on Trabber

17 September 2007

We have added air fares from the low cost airline LTU to Trabber. LTU is a german airline that was 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 transatlantic flights to America and Asia.

We believe this new development will help to improve Trabber’s results. If you have any feedback or comment please contact us via email.
