Online travel review giant TripAdvisor has entered the flight search arena with a full UK search engine.
TripAdvisor Flights claims to include every major airline, including the UK’s largest low cost carriers.
Users can find flights from “hundreds” of carriers including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet and Bmi in addition to flights listed by online travel companies including Expedia, Opodo and ebookers.com.
A fare tracking email service allows travellers to receive email updates as soon as their selected route falls below a designated price point or drops by a set amount.
Transatlantic flights have been added to the company’s fees estimator, which simplifies and clarifies airline add-on costs.
TripAdvisor new initiatives general manager Bryan Saltzburg said: “Following a successful trial, we are very pleased to launch the full version of our flight search to the UK market.
“Now, travellers can search an even larger selection of flights all in one place from the world’s top airlines and travel companies.”
Saltzburg added: “We know travellers don’t always have the time to monitor flight prices – so our new fare alert email service is an easy to use feature making both the flight search experience, and saving money, that little bit easier.”
He said: “A British family of four taking a week-long holiday can pay as much as £1,060 on European flights and as much as £492 on transatlantic flights on checked baggage fees, so it’s important to evaluate more than just the base ticket price to determine which flight is the best overall value.
“Fees Estimator has proved extremely popular with UK travellers searching for domestic and European routes, so we’re thrilled to now offer this money-saving function to those searching for transatlantic flights.”
