Easier Travel Booking for Scientists
A career in science is full of traveling for experiments, to speaking engagements and conferences. If you use the 6 window and 28 tab method (loading up orbitz, kayak, expedia, southwest, etc..) to find a great flight then Hipmunk is for you.
Hipmunk just launched and have a number of features that make sense.
1) The calendar is easily visible and personally have never really liked those pop-up calendars.
2) Input by zip code is also handy
The display is simple although took me a moment to get oriented so here you go.
1) Prices at left
2) The main screen lists the airlines and airport abbreviations in light brown which is the layover time
3) Just above that is the relative time zones
You can also sort by a variety of factors such as by departure time, very cool – check it out.
