Hey I just checked your site for a trip that I have to go to Denver from Phoenix this is what your site came up with.

This is what Rovia came up with.

http://openseat.rovia.com/Air/RResultsV4.aspx

See the thing is most people don't understand how the travel industry works. Sites like Priceline, Cheap tickets, and hotwire all work on searching through meta tag search. Companies like Expedia and Travelocity work off a "GDS" which is global distribution system; this were the VENDORS like airlines hotels and ect load there direct pricing into those systems. Right now there is 5 GDS and I will not name them all for the sake of time. This is what a travel agent uses in a brick and mortar store agency. Expedia and Travelocity work off one GDS, the ROVIA site works on three GDS at the same time, it's the only website of it's kind out there that have more then one GDS running at the same time. Now you are probably asking yourself well how does that make a difference? Well when you search for a price on expedia and travelocity, they have to pay that GDS a transaction fee.

So I was say take a look Rovia, and take a look at yours.

Thanks,

It's not my site, it's a comparison site. I found out about it from a Consumer Reporter on the news in my area. It's highly regarded and I've personally had positive experiences. This is not a forum for personal advertisements, nor is it a place to knock down anyone's site. This is the best resource that I know and that's why I shared it. I can say I used to took book a flight from SFO to MAD (Madrid) and I only paid $598.
