I owned a mainstream travel company (we tracked flights and issued notifications to cellphoes and pagers for delays and cancellations , this was way before evryone was doing we were the first)
I met the guys from sidestep! their system sucks ass! they are like all toplists and sell themselves to teh highest bidder they have no interest in the consumer or giving the best prices...
heres the synopsis
we tried setting up a system like theirs but the real big boys wont let you query their system multiple times especially if your pitting them against their competition and risking making them look high priced, also they dont wnat to be queried 100 times for the possibility of one sale.
orbitz is the best for domestic flights
hotels.com is the best for hotels
vacations use travelocity or site59
international use a travel agent and make sure he uses sabre and not worldspan,
always look for the travel agent that specializes in that contry ..i,e if its russia call a russian travel agent
also do the research yourself it takes 5 minutes to check 5 sites its well worth it!
