The travel meta-search site momondo.com which joined the Cheapflights Media stable earlier this year has launched a new search engine enabling users to search for flight round trips with several stop-overs.

The initiative makes it possible to search flights with multiple destinations in just one search and compare the best prices for the total trip.

The multi-destination flight search engine is a new addition to Momondo’s travel search product that previously only offered one-way and return trips on flights.

”We’ve got millions of users worldwide and thousands have requested an easy and fast way to find the best offers on round trips and more complex flight tickets. That is why we’ve put a lot of knowhow and resources into developing our new search engine, which we’ve launched in a beta version”, says Martin Lumbye, partner in Momondo.

Examples of round trips could be flying from London to Paris and further on to Rome from where one flies home, or it could be flying to New York, take a road trip to California and flying back from Los Angeles.

Previously a user had to spend a long time conducting several searches between the respective cities to get a full overview of the entire round trip. With Momondo’s new search engine the user can get an overview of the best prices for the entire round trip in just one search. All the user has to do is enter the destinations once and Momondo will aggregate and compare the best prices on flights across more that 700 online travel agencies and airlines.

You won’t have to hassle with buying multiple tickets from difference places – you’ll get all your flight tickets from a single supplier in just one easy process

 What is this SkyRider – a much reduced seat pitch, an ultra-high density seat or Stand-up-cabin?

From various media reporting we understand that some airline companies would even want to go for a “Stand-Up Cabin”? We are proposing a 23-inch pitch or less; the “SkyRider”.
Aviointeriors is one of the leading Aircraft Seat and Interiors manufacturers with extensive R&D on the subject.

The “SkyRider”, is an ultra-high density seat presently completely engineered and to be finally tested. The SkyRider has been designed and engineered to offer the possibility to even further reduce ticket prices while still maintaining sound profitability, which, even with a dual or three class seating arrangement, will allow maximum certified passenger capacity of the aircraft.

With a much reduced seat pitch, the SkyRider preserves a comfortable position for the low fare passengers.

The SkyRider is intended as a new basic class. The passenger’s seating position is similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider. This posture permits that the overall longitudinal space occupied by the seat
with the seated passenger is far less than that of a conventional, very high-density 28” economy class seat.

Furthermore, in the SkyRider arrangement, a partial overlapping of the passengers seating between rows is allowed, thus further increasing the cabin density.

The seat structure itself also provides space for personal baggage.

Ryanair, the world’s favourite lowcost airline, welcomed its victory in the Commercial Court of Barcelona (in a case brought by screen-scraper website Atrapalo), which confirmed that Ryanair is entitled under the Spanish Constitution to exclusively distribute its low fares.
 
The Spanish Court also ruled that Ryanair’s comparative advertisements complied with Spanish law. These same ads were previously censored by another Spanish court, a decision which Ryanair appealed to the Constitutional Court of Spain.
 
The Court finally upheld Ryanair’s right to defend its exclusive distribution policy by publicly addressing screenscrapers in terms such as: “illegal sellers”, “parasites of the sector” and “dead wood”. The Court ruled that Ryanair is not allowed to describe screenscrapers as “bastards”.
 
This Spanish court victory is yet another milestone win for Ryanair after similar court wins against other screenscrapers in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK.
 
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:
 

“This Spanish court victory is another milestone in Ryanair’s fight against internet screenscrapers and resellers. Websites such as Atrapalo have for too long been getting away with unauthorised reselling of Ryanair’s flights, with the addition of charges which consumers don’t pay when they book directly with Ryanair.
 
Ryanair is pleased that the Spanish Court has recognised Ryanair’s constitutional right to exclusively sell its low fares on www.ryanair.com. This policy is at the core of Ryanair’s low-cost / low-fare business model and at the heart of our ongoing pro-consumer fight against the unauthorised use of Ryanair’s website.
 
Genuine price comparison only websites, who wish to present Ryanair’s low fares information to consumers, as opposed to reselling Ryanair flights with additional fees and charges, can enter into a licence agreement with Ryanair to provide price comparison only information. If Atrapalo is genuinely interested in providing an honest price comparison service, it is welcome to sign up to this licence which is subject to a charitable donation of €100.”
