In this post we summarize all flight search tools that we have developed for Trabber in addition to the Flight and Flight offers search engines.

Let’s metion firstly Trabber Radar, a system that scans flight fares close to the dates selected, to suggest users the best dates to travel. We recently launched a second version, more powerful and with an improved user interface.

Another interesting tool is Price evolution, which shows in graph how the price of a flight has changed over time. This information is useful to determine the fare trend and determine whether the rate is rising, falling or stable. You can find this information in the top right side of Trabber search engine result page.

In the Flight offers search enginee we intregrated several useful tools such as the Monthly fare chart, which presents visually the days of the month in which flying is cheaper for your route. Furthermore, for searches in which no specific destination has been selected, there is Offers in a map, which shows the best deals found by Trabber users in the last days.

We hope that these tools will help you to find the best options to travel.

We are glad to present now the second version of Radar Trabber.

This new version is not just a complete redesign of the user interface, but also includes several improvements on the technology of the engine that allows Trabber Radar to collect more flight fares in close dates than before.

Regarding the user inteface, flights are displayed in a horizontal bar format to simplify the display of departure and arrival dates, but also to clearly show the total days of your travel. This information was not easily accessible in the previous table format.

Above of the flight bars, we have placed a set of controls to enable the selection of specific dates for your departure and arrival.

On this new user inteface, we also keep the old table version that is accessible through the link “See in a table”

On the other side, the updated engine provides access to additional flight information that we were not considering before. Aditionally, we have extended Trabber Radar to new airlines and now is able to collect fares on close dates for new airlines websites such as Iberia, Air France, SAS, LOT and Air Asia.

The engine improvements also benefits the quality of the fare suggestion system that is displayed on Trabber search results.

We hope you will like this new version ;)!

We Include this time in Trabber search results, all flights offered by Canadian airline Air Transat directly on its website – http://www.airtransat.com

Air Transat, based in Montreal – Canada, serves over 60 destinations in 25 countries in America and Europe.

Air Transat is Canada’s leading holiday travel airline, carrying around 3 million passengers annually.

Since the beginning of Trabber, our main goal has been to innovate creating tools to facilitate the preparation of your trips.

This time, we present Trabber Cars in all international versions of Trabber.

Trabber Cars is a car rental vertical search engine that allows you to easily compare prices from main industry vendors.

Trabber Cars usage is simple and similar to any other Trabber product. With just a simple search, you can get a whole range of rental cars available from suppliers. To facilitate the selection, we have added tools to allow sorting and filtering the search results.

For now, this beta version compares prices offered by 6 suppliers, among which are the major car rental companies and travel agencies.

We add a new option in Trabber hotel search engine that allows to include all hostels offered by Trabber providers in your hotel search results.

To improve Trabber’s results in this type of accommodation, we have added Hostelworld as a provider. Hostelworld manages a database of more than 25,000 hotels in around 180 countries that from now on you will find in Trabber.

Note that it is always possible to display/filter other types of accommodations from the results page, simply by changing the filter “Property type:” located on the right side of the page.

You can now create your own user account in Trabber.

To create your account in Trabber you need not to register, as you can identify yourself in Trabber using your Facebook, Hotmail/Live, Google or Yahoo! account. This way you can access Trabber with just one click and need not to remember new passwords.

If you have no user on any of the above services, you can still create your local Trabber account simply by entering your email address.

The main advantages of having an Trabber user account are:

• It allows you to manage and mantain your flight alerts
• Store your private list of flights – ‘My shortlist’
• Access to all your previous searches

We hope you enjoy this new feature and as always, we are happy to receive your suggestions on any new improvements that we should develop to serve you better.

One of the most important factors to select a hotel, beside price and location, is possibly good reviews from other travelers.

Traveler reviews are now available directly from Trabber Hotels interface.

From now on, below the list of services of every hotel on Trabber Hotels results, you will find a new link – “reviews“. This link will display a list of ratings submitted by users from some of Trabber’s hotel providers. Additionally to user ratings, we display the number of reviews for each provider and a link that will redirect you to all travelers comments at the provider website.

We also have added for every hotel a link to Tripadvisor review page, as the site has currently become one of the references in this type of information.

We Integrate now all flight offered by Malaysian low cost airline Air Asia offered directly from the airline website – www.airasia.com in Trabber flight search engine.

Air Asia is among the most popular low cost airlines in Asia, delivering a highly competitive service very appreciated by travelers in the region.

AirAsia won the Skytrax World’s best low cost airline award in 2009 and 2010.

The airline operates numerous destinations in Asia and Oceania. It has also begun its international expansion operating flights from several airports in those regions connecting with Paris and London.

Do not hesitate to send us suggestions to improve Trabber search capabilities or functionalities.

We develop this time a new feature for undecided travelers, a mashup of Google Maps and airfares deals stored in Trabber Offers, which surely will help Trabber users to decide where to travel.

From now on when you do a search in Trabber Offers without any city destination or selecting a country as the final destination, you will find now the link “Find offers in a map” on top of all airfares results that will display all airfares on a map.

The map is interactive, which basically means that when you scroll or zoom to different places, new offers will appear around the selected areas dynamically.

Take into account that the map will show only deals that fit your search criteria. For instance, if you have selected deal under $200 euros and departing of friday, just these offers will be shown.

Here are two examples:

• Best offers from Frankfurt departing on Saturday
• Best offers from Rome under $300

The color code is the same that we have used for Trabber Radar and intends to indicate the quality of the offers. So, the darker the color the higher the discount compared with the mean value.

We add a new provider to Trabber hotel search engine – Hotusa Hotels. With this integration, Trabber already provides results from 13 pages of online travel agencies and hotels brands.

Nowadays Hotusa Hotels gather more than 2000 hotels throughout 48 different countries and three Continents.
