Cheapflights launch new web design
By Darren Cronian on Friday, February 8th, 2008

Email received from Cheapflights informing me that they have revamped their .com site with the UK to follow suit soon. I love the new search where you’re able to filter the results – for example I searched for flights from NY to Chicago, and filtered that I only wanted to fly with American Airlines.

Cheapflights launch new web design

The flight guides are great, with tons of content and useful information. You can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into generating content. You can choose from Cheapflights handpicked deals, suggestions for in-flight reading, and flight news.

The hotel search is basic; you choose your dates, city etc, and then have the option of Expedia, Travelocity, Hotwire, Orbitz, Priceline and Cheaptickets. They have also launched a new campaign to target the 18-34 agegroup in the UK called Enjoy your Flight. Shame I’ll be 35 in 10 days!

Cheapflights want your feedback – please leave a comment.

I like the look of the site, but it does not seem any different than other flight sites that I have used. I agree with you on the flight guides though.

The hotel search is not that great, but then it is cheap flights not hotels.

Nice. Looks brighter. It would save time if the hotel search gave more options to choose from.

Much nicer design.

I like it, though for a redesign I was expecting something alittle unique. It looks like alot of the other flight searches.

Niceeee! A better replacement for the lost Sidestep. Well it gives us more options.

Thanks for the comments.

Those that mentioned improved hotel search, fair enough, but don’t forget this is a cheapflights site.

I do agree though that it would save time if you could search for more hotels, since when your booking your own flight, you need accommodation too.

Is that designed for 800×600 and left aligned? You don’t see many sites like that these days. Looks a bit odd on my widescreen laptop.

Adam, I never noticed that but yes, there’s alot of blank space as you say for widescreen monitors.
