You may have noticed when searching on the home page that we now provide a new widget that opens below the search box.  Once you’ve entered your origin and destination cities, this price trend chart will open to reveal the trends of the cost of travel on the selected route.  This is a great tool for those with flexible travel dates or people looking to get the very best deal on their upcoming trip.

Based on cached fares, the price trends chart will show prices for the upcoming month of travel to destinations, as well as the “age” of the quoted price. As you can see in the example below, hovering over a specific date on the chart will provide a pop-up with the cheapest fare found on the specific date, and this fare will also be listed below the chart along with information about when that fare was found.  When you find a price that you like, simply click on “search now” and you’ll be redirected to our results page for your selected route.

We are already hard at work at offering more options and information on this price trend chart and hope to soon provide return trip data and more!

We’d love to hear from you – have you used the price trend chart? Are there new things you’d like to see us feature?

We, too, have felt the effects of this ban. Turkish users of Travelfusion.com and our regional partner site Seyahatix.com, both of which utilise Google Analytics to monitor website traffic, have reported very slow page loads and general instability. To better serve our Turkish users during this worrying period, and to help speed up our site for everyone else, we will soon be upgrading to the Google Analytics asynchronous tracking scripts.

Update: TechCrunch reports that this was all just a clumsy mistake by Google, and that the Turkish government is holding Google to task to fix it!

New expanded results rows, improvements to the map-based search function and a general design overhaul make the new travelfusion.com a true competitor in the flight search and comparison market.

Moshe Rafiah, Travelfusion’s founder and CEO states, “after months of hard work and innovation from our web development team, we are thrilled to be releasing our new website design to the public.  Users will now enjoy improved functionality, a sleek design and a better overall experience in comparing flights and finding the best fares.  The best travel options from our 150+ suppliers that we have always offered will now be more accessible and easy to find, taking the hassle out of flight comparison and booking.”

We are pleased to also share the exclusive Tnooz article announcing our new design!

Take a look at some screenshots of the new design, along with an explanation of some of the new features.
