22.03.09 - Find of the Day



When I travel, I enjoy having everything I need in one place without having to switch around to various websites. Modern technology has made this easier; instead of picking up the phone and calling various travel agents or airlines to find the cheapest price, instead we can just log onto Hotwire or Orbitz to do the searching ourselves. Sidestep takes it one step further by searching airline sites and all of the discount traveling sites from all over the world for you, bringing the ultimate deal. Plus, when you do purchase your tickets, it takes you to the website of the airline itself rather than requiring you to purchase through their website. A great deal!

Searching is super-easy. When searching for a flight, you have the option of searching one-way, round trip, multi-city and weekend. For adventurous travelers like myself, the two new options of multi-city and weekend trips is a great tool. You can skip around the country with ease. I remember when I traveled to Europe four years ago it was nearly impossible to fly to point A and leave from point D; I had to take a train to get around. With Sidestep's search options I can go anywhere. The Weekend search tool is useful as well; I can find out what weekend is cheapest to go visit some family or maybe take a trip to London for an interview. It searches Friday-Sunday, every weekend, for my deal.

My only problem with this website is now, I want to travel everywhere, all the time now.
