dohop Flight Planner Search Engine
Travel search engine dohop.com introduced an upgraded version of its flight planner in the US today. A very simplified flight search engine, dohop does an outstanding job of keeping to the basics with a no-nonsense screen of flight results and the ability to change time and flight info by dynamic sliders and filters.
For any search specialists or users of basic tagging and sharing services, I do suggest checking out the dohop interface as it is a refreshing alternative to those larger ad friendly and load time crunching travel sites on the market.
From the press release : dohop makes extensive use of the latest Web 2.0 technologies to make flight planning more intuitive with interactive drill down, dynamic filters and sorting of search results. dohop.com shows rates from airlines and travel agent websites where the traveler can go to book flights directly.
“For any flight trip in the US there are usually more than a hundred alternatives,” said Frosti Sigurjonsson, dohop’s founder and general manager. “dohop.com helps travelers to pick the optimal routes based on their individual preferences.”
apart from the good US sites like http://www.kayak.com and http://www.sidestep.com. I think http://www.skyscanner.net and http://www.momondo.com are great sites for european low cost search – for european low cost momondo seems to beat the rest (not in rich functionality, but with the lowest fares found)
