Mobissimo Now Connects Travellers With Over 150 Travel Sites; Best Prices and More Options for Summer Travel Search

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2006--Mobissimo, Inc. (www.mobissimo.com), the world's most comprehensive travel search engine, today announced that it now searches over 150 travel sites in real time, giving travellers direct access to the best prices and more options through the largest selection of airfares, hotel rooms and car rentals in the travel-search market.

Mobissimo searches prices directly from 157 different travel suppliers across the world, based on visitors' search criteria, and displays them with one simple search. Mobissimo's network of travel sites covers fares from more than 400 airlines, including access to low cost airlines not available on any other single site. With fuel costs skyrocketing and summer vacation rapidly approaching, fares to popular destinations are selling out rapidly. When this happens, savvy travellers know that the key to finding good fares is to start thinking about alternative routes, such as reaching a destination city through a less-obvious connecting city.

“When an originally planned destination is sold out, or when the price exceeds the planned budget, Mobissimo acts like a Virtual Travel Concierge to help travellers quickly discover and book new vacation options without breaking the bank”

"When an originally planned destination is sold out, or when the price exceeds the planned budget, Mobissimo acts like a Virtual Travel Concierge to help travellers quickly discover and book new vacation options without breaking the bank," commented Mobissimo CEO Beatrice Tarka. Mobissimo is the only travel search engine with international focus, bringing customers access to multiple, reliable foreign travel suppliers and it provides extensive coverage of travel suppliers in the U.S.

Users can run Mobissimo OneBox natural language search, PowerSearch for multiple city searches, MobiCombo for dynamic ticket combinations, and ActivitySearch for theme-based travel planning, directly on the Mobissimo home page. Mobissimo's Power Search tools will save the day--and your vacation plans--by discovering alternative routes and travel selections. Mobissimo has created the simplest, most effective travel search experience on the planet, and an array of recommendation tools that make it easy for travellers to get where they want to go," Tarka said.

With a Mobissimo search, the traveller sees the same price that a travel supplier shows when a search is conducted directly on its site, including taxes and service fees.

Among the travel suppliers Mobissimo searches are well-known sites such as Air New Zealand, Air Tran, Alaska Airlines, AmericanAirlines.com, British Airways, Cheapseats.com, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Ebookers, Emirates, Frontier Airlines, Hyatt, Iceland Air, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Jetblue, Korean Airlines, Opodo, Orbitz, TACA, Virgin Atlantic as well as 68 low cost airlines not accessible anywhere else in one single search, such as Condor, EasyJet, Flybe, Flydba, GermanWings, and HLX.
