Does anyone use Adioso?

[Saab34]

I dont know if everyone has heard of this new site, but I have been using it a fair bit now. Its like farehunter that was shutdown. It seems that they dont have all airlines, but a good comparison against the Major Domestic airlines anyway

Cheap flights from Jetstar, Tiger Airways, Air Asia, Virgin Blue, V Australia, Qantas and more

Few Examples of searches
Cheap flights Australia to Domestic

Cheap flights Sydney to Anywhere

That's a handy site Sunstar320. Thanks for sharing. Any idea how they are doing it? Are they scraping/crawling airline booking engines or using a direct travel agent software link?

used it a few times for info purposes only, still find webject to be more useful if searching for specific dates without consideration for loyalty

what to say here :shock:

I have used adioso for long time, and my memory fails me but this seem like a 1-2 person operation

very powerful searches, but for some reason not as mainstream as expedia and the like - i suspect its because you can only search 3 month ahead

in all seriousness this is a great tool, of course I would recommend other research etc, but its very useful

I am very glad the guy coder (is that a word??) uses his powers for good! :mrgreen:

Yes, I know the fellas from Adioso, they're a great mix of technical expertise and business savvy. I use Adioso daily for research when blogging for Flighthacker and for most of my personal fare searches.

On the plus - all Aussie-based discount carriers covered, fares for Asian low-cost carriers, awesome for AirAsia sales, great interface, the Adioso boys are very responsive to feedback

On the minus - full-fare carriers not covered, search has difficulty with some sales (eg. Jetstar 2-for-1), fares not real-time

So if you're after fares on the full-fare carriers, stick to Zuji, Webjet et al. But for Jetstar/Tiger/Virgin/AirAsia, get into Adioso.

Cheers!

Never seen it before, but will likely use it for info from now on, same as I use Webjet really. I'd go back to the actual companies website to book a flight.

Same as Sam, mind you, I seldom book my own flights. I will have a look in depth especially if it will save us (company) money on staff flights...
