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.

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 = "https://www.trabber.co.uk/search_box"
for Germany: src = "https://www.trabber.de/search_box"
for Italy: src = "https://www.trabber.it/search_box"
for France: src = "https://www.trabber.fr/search_box"
for United States: src = "https://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 = "https://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

Another tool to travel on the cheap…

We just launched a new application (Trabber Offers) on Trabber´s Italian version. Trabber Offers helps travellers that are time or destination flexible to automatically find the cheapest airfares. Users just need to select the Departure city or route to obtain the best prices.

Examples:
– Best offers from Rome
– Best offers from Milan to New York

How does it work?
We have implemented an algorithm that analyses all searches performed by Trabber´s users. With this information, the algorithm decides whether the price found is a “good deal” or not. This is decided using current mean airfares per route.

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.

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!

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.

The version of Trabber for the Italian market has appeared on several reviews by Italian bloggers during last weeks. Here are some of them:

Dario Salvelli
Techissimo
DelfinsBlog

We would like to thanks the authors for the analysis and feedback.

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 🙂

Today Trabber Deutschland results include also flights from Lastminute.de

Remember that you can always check the full list of providers (take into account that the travel agencies included are different for each country).
