Popularity
Cheapfares.com is a little known travel
booking website with a Google Pagerank of
only 5. Now for the average website a
Pagerank of 5 would be excellent but for a
major travel booking site it is not. On
Alexa.com you can see that
Cheapfares.com has a traffic ranking of
114, 862 which means that it is the
number 114, 862nd most visited site on
the internet. While that is as bad as it
may seem when you take into account the
billions of sites that exist on the internet,
it is however very low for travel
reservation site.
Features
Cheapfares.com has quite a few features
for a smaller travel site which include
airfare booking, hotel reservations, car
rentals, cruises, activities, last minute
deals and vacation specials. There is also
a feature called 1st & Business. So far I
have not come accross any other travel
site that has a special section dedicated
to first and business class travel. If you
click on the tab you will be taken to a
simple page that claims they can save you
up to 40% on domestic and international
flights. You must fill out a simple form with
all the normal information such as the
departure city and return date but you
must also leave your email address and
phone number. The reason for this is that
they will submit your travel request to
many providers in order to get you the
best price available and then get back to
you within 24 hours on a business day.
Prices
In their last minute deals section you will
find some pretty interesting offers. For
example they have a flight/hotel package
to Myrtle Beach, SC for only $233 per son
which includes 3 nights in a hotel. They
also have a flight/car rental deal for
Pittsburgh, PA for only $166.
Overall Rating
The overal rating for Cheapfares.com is a
5.5 being that their layout is overly
simplistic in nature and their offers a quite
limited.
