Got a nice surprise when I saw the latest issue of Travel + Leisure; the editors included FareCompare.com in their Top 25 Travel Websites.
We took honors as best website for (drum roll) Locating the Best International Airfares (oh, and not to get greedy, but I think we should have been named best site for Knowing When to Book a Flight as well, since we have the best tools to help you do just that).
But we’re happy to be mentioned, and I like the fact that the Travel + Leisure folks seemed especially taken with our Getaway Maps which show the lowest air fares from YOUR city pulled from more than 500-domestic and international carriers, to a range of selected cities.
And the Getaway Maps are so simple to use. Just go to FareCompare.com, and click on Getaway Maps; then you simply type in the city you’ll be departing from, and voila! The world is yours.
Contratulations!!! I agree. FareCompare is the first (and usually only) site I need.

I believe a pat on the back is in order. Simply the best website for planning ahead and getting the best deals! Keep up the amazing work!

Congrats for the recognition. However, what I find off late is that that fare displayed at the Getaway maps and the ‘calender’ does not correlate when advancing to the next stage. Often the price displayed on each day of the month on the calender is one thing; and the price after choosing the departure/return dates is something else. would be really great if you could have a look and fix the discrepancies.
