Jaunted Insta-Review: New Flight Aggregator InsideTrip
Can't get enough of an information overload by using Kayak? Click over to InsideTrip, then, where the data dump is of truly biblical proportions.
The meta-searcher brings up what it considers the best fares for a given city pair, of course, then goes further:
For each search, InsideTrip provides not just fares but also evaluations of what [founder Dave Pelter] calls 12 "pain points." These include the amount of legroom in a cabin, how often the flight is on time, the aircraft type (larger jets get higher ratings), how crowded a specific flight typically is and if you can walk to your connection. It even considers how long it usually takes to get through the security checkpoint nearest the gate.
We punched in an imagined trip from New York to Miami for the Winter Music Conference. Kayak came up with some JetBlue flights, which were $300 cheaper than the best fare InsideTrip found. The newcomer may have info on seat pitch and on-time ratings, but leaving out great fares means InsideTrip won't be our first stop for online airfare searches just yet.
