Creating Trip Ideas With Kayak's Fare Buzz

Thursday May 25, 2006
Have you played with Kayak's Fare Buzz trip ideas section yet? Kayak was written up yesterday by the Washington Post as being the best airfare search engine out there -- it's not the best for student travelers, but it's a good way to compare fares you see from student discount airfare finders.

Fare Buzz trip ideas combine recent airfare searches with Google map mashups for a fun trip idea, like Europe's top summer music festivals -- the Google map that the Fare Buzz trip idea creates is a cool planning tool. Click on any of the numbered balloons in your map and you'll be shown an intro to a travel piece on the destination and links to find airfares, as well as recent airfares found, to nearby airports. Check out a few from Student Travel:
