google search tip: travel

If you’re a Google geek like me, and love to travel, this is one Google search function you’ll use a lot. When you want to find airfare, just type your departing city airport code and the arriving city code into the search box at Google, like:

TPA PHL

That brings up a page on Google providing me with a place to input dates for my trip, and links to CheapTickets, Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz, Priceline, and Travelocity. Input your dates, click a link, and you’ll instantly be taken to search results at the provider, showing the dates you picked. It will definitely eliminate a lot of time spent inputting dates and locations at each place you wish to search for a fare!

  2. That’s an excellent tip because as i go from site to site, I usually forget which one had the lowest rates. lol It semms like the prices are never the same the second time you try to find them too!

    That is so impressive. I love the options that google gives to people like myself that are handicapped at times and need a lot of help.

    I recently had to take a trip to Indiana, if for nothing else the list of ticket search sites was really helpful. Thanks!
