Travel Comparison Website
Momondo is a global award winning travel comparison website that helps you find and compare the cheapest flights, hotels, car rentals and travel deals across the web. Momondo is a metasearch engine that searches across hundreds of airlines, travel sites and low cost carriers at once to show you the cheapest tickets and direct you to the providers that sell them. The site doesn’t sell tickets and there is no additional booking fee added in the prices shown. We loved Momondo’s Price Calendar which provides a graph with price variations for the selected route across the month or the whole year. We also really liked the Best Flights option which offers info about the best balance between price and flight time, and reveals how departure days and seasonality can affect fare prices.
