Travel Sites

I love when a travel site adds something useful that also has a little something more than other sites. TripAdvisor just added a flight search to their website. Pretty standard, and I already love Kayak. But I checked it out anyway because, hey, I love TripAdvisor.

Well, in addition to the great format (slide bars for departure/arrival times, check boxes for other options) they also have a feature that tells you what you can expect to be charged in additional fees - for carry-on bags, in-flight entertainment & food. Which is kind of nice. It knew that Virgin America doesn't charge for a carry-on, but I'll spend $30 (!!) on American (among others). I love that! Now I can see how much I'll actually be paying for the entire trip. Yipee!
