Cheapflights.com announced a web site overhaul that makes it even easier for travelers with flexible schedules to find cheap deals to destinations around the world.
The new user-friendly design provides travelers better ways to look for deals using a location-based search, which compiles deals for destinations, instead of specific travel dates. An expanded content library covers everything from airport security information and currency exchange rates to tips on the best times to visit more than 500 highlighted destinations worldwide. This proprietary material is written firsthand by Cheapflights’ own in-house editorial staff.
Editor’s note: The site still looks boring to me.
