New features from FareCompare

Recently heard from Niel Banton regarding some new FareCompare site features. From Niel, "we added in international and a new search path with the ability to check inventory and deep link into a carrier's site."

Usability of the new search path breaks the mold of the traditional OTA and TSE experiences. Curious if users will find it intuitive.

He also shared a new fare graphing feature that's in production. At first glance, it appears to offer a similar display to FlySpy (see my post and techcrunch post) however my guess is that Niel and the FareCompare team have a much better shot at making it real, based on their experience with complex airfare pricing data.

Check out FareCompare's FireFox extention if you haven't already, an easy way to monitor the lowest fares from your selected airport.
