Flight Search with Hipmunk is Fun

We're enjoying using Hipmunk, a new flight search tool. The way Hipmunk displays results represents a real, substantive advance, displaying all flights on a single page in a graphic form that shows flights' departure times and duration at a glance.

No more changing the date format to suit every different site. Just enter, say, "Aug 28." Never thought about it before (while looking around to see if the site I'm on requires "08/28/2010" or "8/28/10"), but that makes sense, because with most flights only bookable eleven months out, there's really no need for the year.

No more looking for the "One Way" or "Round Trip" buttons, either. You set the departure date and return is "optional." If you don't enter one, Hipmunk will figure out you're only traveling one way.

Results presented graphically in a way that gives you more visual information than the usual lists. Less hunting around for each sites' peculiar protocols. More intuitive. Simpler. More fun. Try it.

I was about to try Hipmunk, when my friend pointed out that Kayak is superior in so many ways. Hipmunk doesn't even have any of the helpful features that Kayak does.

I made sure to save my friends from using the disaster that is Hipmunk!
