Yahoo Search Blog posted news of the updates.
CNET News.com reports: "Yahoo has added new features to its Farechase travel Web site, the company said Thursday...The upgrades are designed to let people refine their search results according to such criteria as preferred airlines, flight times, nearby airports and number of stops. People will also be able to sort results by price and departure times. In addition, the Web site will support more browsers, including Firefox, Netscape and Safari."
The article aslo reports on research by Keynote Systems which found "67 percent of 2,000 consumers participating in a study reported that they are likely to book a hotel room online. That compares with 57 percent who are open to using a phone reservation system.
Just 16 percent said they are willing to use a travel agent. The price difference and ability to compare prices are driving consumers to favor online travel, Keynote said."
