Thing 19: Web 2.0 Awards

I am so excited! I found a web site under Travel which I will definitely use and tell everyone about. The site is farecast.com and it predicts whether air fare will go up or down. You put in your destination and dates of travel and it will tell you whether to buy your ticket now or wait-it even gives you a percent confidence level. The site lists airlines, prices and flight times. It even provides links to Expedia, bookingbuddy, Hotwire, etc. There is also a tab to search for hotels.

Last month my dad decided to wait a week to purchase his airline tickets to Ireland for a trip in September. When he went back to book the tickets the price had gone up $200. A predictor sure would have been useful for him.
