FareCompare
http://www.farecompare.com/

FareCompare is a one of a kind airfare centric vacation and business travel planning site that promises consumers early access to the lowest published and discount air fares. FareCompare is first and foremost an air fare technology company. THeir low fare deal engine is powered by the raw fare and rule data which comes directly from each airline (not scraped from reservation sites). They subscribe and receive the same domestic and international fare and ticket information as the popular online shopping sites (Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz …) and process it in a unique fashion that allows them to quickly scan for the cheapest deals and distribute this low price information several hours before it shows up on these sites. Their technology allows them to provide a real-time, early access, air fare alert system that guarantees consumers first crack at the best prices. FareCompare concentrates on mining over 30 million domestic and international fares and rules from over 400 airlines and subsequently boiling this information down to provide a broad geographical and timeline view of fare prices for flexible travelers who search for low fares as well as a historical fare price and side-by-side comparison views to help those with limited travel flexibility. They use a variety of new travel planning and visual technologies including maps and satellite imagery, flight information, historical graphs, low fare star rating, side-by-side airline comparisons and seat availability checks.
