When we plan trips we want to choose the best deals. Yet we may not always be getting that deal we are looking for. There are three websites which try to help us do this.
Farecast.com helps you determine when its the right time to buy an airline ticket, and whether a hotel rate you may pre-booked is a good one. Farecast.com forecasts air and hotel prices by looking at historic prices from 100+ airline and travel agency websites. After receiving information it then determines whether the prices will fall or rise within the next week. You get a list of available flights and their price prediction. There are a number of options to hep you refine or narrow down your search.
FUNQUE - 4
Awesome idea! Thorough resource base used.

Insidetrip.com focuses on people who want both quality and a good price for their trip. It gives a travel report out of 100 based on its analysis of factors such as stopovers, legroom, delays, travel duration, lost bags etc. You can book tickets through this site. However, one drawback (for now at least) is that it uses only one service, Orbitz, for its information and purchasing. However, the template is there for future success.
FUNQUE - 3
Neat idea, but use of one traveler database provides limits.

InsideTravelTips.com offers reviews on travel websites. Recent hotel price comparisons were put up on the site using data from many of the travel websites - Expedia, Kayak, Orbitz etc..
FUNQUE - 3.5
A review of internet sites is always beneficial!

One site uses the past to predict future pricing, another informs us of quality type decisions for our travel planning, and another looks at the travel sites themselves through comparison to offer planning alternatives. Three unique ways to help us plan our travel.
