WeeFly.com added hotel search option besides flight search.

Filed under: Other — alessandrolacava @ 10:35 am

Today I visited WeeFly.com and was delighted to find out that it now offers a hotel search besides the flight one. Furthermore, I noticed other two unique features about WeeFly.com:

1. WeeFly “remembers” what the user selects while planning a trip. That is, if you run a search and then want to change only, for example, the destination aiports or the return date, then you only need to change those parameters and WeeFly will do the rest for you.

2. Using WeeFly I was able to run complicated searches through a single query. For example I and my girlfriend wanted to spend a weekend in november in London or Paris–leaving from Milan. Using WeeFly I could run such a search through a single query. I selected Milan as the Departure Airport, London and Paris as the Arrival ones. Then, in the next page, I clicked on the Advanced Search tab and selected the 1st of November as the start date and the 30th of November as the end date. The last thing I had to do was select the Weekend Break option from the Journey Type panel and clicked Start at the bottom of the page. Believe it or not WeeFly did the rest for me! It gave me the flights I desired so that I could choose the cheapest weekend among the four of November. Using other flight search engines I should have run EIGHT single queries against the UNIQUE one using WeeFly. If you just think that WeeFly lets you book hotels too, you understand why I’m already addicted with it!
