It’s time to tell you more about us, the human beings on the other side of the searcher. The ones who wake up in the middle of the night thinking about that unsolved bug. The ones who get butterflies in their stomachs after a positive comment on Twitter.

In this post you will discover who the Trabber members are, and what functions do we perform. You will see that we are few, perhaps fewer than you imagined, but we are sufficiently committed, because thanks to our persistence and to your support, we can proudly state that we just turned out 10 years old!

If two flight search engines came and said:

… according to your opinion, which one would be better?

The natural thing would be to think that the second one, right? Because “millions” gives a greater sense of completeness that “71“.

But what would you think if we told you that most agency websites already give access to millions of flights by themselves, or what is the same, that “We search in millions of websites” could actually be synonymous with ‘We search hin one web’?

One of the false “myths” we have heard more and that seems to be more consolidated between travellers is the one that says that flight tickets are cheaper when purchased on the airlines website.

Contrary to popular belief, flying Business Class doesn’t have to be much more expensive than Economy Class. In fact, if you plan your trip in advance and know well how airlines’ policies work, there are odds that you get a free “upgrade” to Business, that is to say, that the airline changes your ticket from Tourist to Business without any additional expense on your part.

Even though searches with multiple destinations are not as common as round trips, they represent the best option in many cases, especially in travels with various destinations.

In Trabber we just added the option to 14 new countries: Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, United States, France, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal and South Africa.

Countries that join those that already had the function: Spain, Ireland, Italy and the UK.

If you are planning your vacation this year and want to travel several destinations, you can take the opportunity to make a multiple destinations search.

With the latest update of Trabber search engine, we are getting close to the round number of 100 providers on all our vertical search engines.

We add the following airlines websites to the Flight search engine this time:

• Croatia Airlines. It is the national airline of Croatia. It operates from its base at the airport in Zagreb.

We also add two new providers to the Car Rental search engine on this update: GoldCar and Enterprise Rent A Car. We believe that after adding these two news providers, you will notice an improvement on many of your searches. Definitely we encourage you to try this new version!

Finally, we add to the Hotel search engine a new provider, Budgetplaces, an online consolidator specialized in budget hotels, hostels and B&B, with over 10,000 accomodations in 100 countries worldwide.

We have added support for five new airlines websites to Trabber flight search engine.

Currently, we are focusing on adding support for new airlines and other travel suppliers to enhance Trabber’s results on all international Trabber versions.

Probably at the moment there is no other travel search engine that offers users such a broad set of results as Trabber.

After this new update, users will see flight results directly available from the following airline websites:

• Jet2.com is a British low-cost airline that operates from several UK airports to more than 50 destinations in Europe.

We always like to hear your suggestions, so please tell us; What other airlines should we add to Trabber?

We continue releasing Trabber in new countries…

This time it is the turn for local versions in Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and Portugal, which complete a total of 19 countries where we have launched Trabber.

With these new versions, we want to improve the experience and support for all users already using Trabber on those countries.

If you find any translation error, please contact us.

Besides the new localized improved versions in some countries allowing searches multicast flights. This functionality is now available in Trabber Italy and UK, and even in the new version for Ireland.

We launch new features on the Trabber hotel search engine that will help users traveling with children and users who travel in groups and are interested in finding more than one room at a time.

From now on, you can specify the number of children staying in the room so that on the hotel results only hotels and rooms that have the required capacity are shown.

Some hotels charge additional amounts when children are accommodated. With this new feature, these costs will be included on the prices shown. This will help to prevent unpleasant surprises when booking in Trabber providers.

As the costs for children accommodations often depend on their ages, the new Trabber hotel search engine interface will require to specify children ages.

The second feature that we present is a better support for booking more than one room in one search. The new interface allows you to indicate the number of rooms and the number of people staying on each room. To add additional rooms to your search you should click on the link “Add room“, located under the number of adults. We have limited the maximum number of rooms to 10.

Remember that these new functionalities are also available on the mobile version of Trabber.
