Introducing the travel genie - Sunday Times - Times Online: "Let�s say you�re one of the millions who use low-cost airlines. To get the best deals, you need to know when EasyJet, Ryanair or Flybe introduce new routes or special fares. In the past, that meant signing up to each of their e-mail newsletters.
Not any more. Instead, you can go to Cheapflights.co.uk and subscribe to its RSS feed, which has news of the latest deals offered by every low-cost airline in the UK. Sign up at news.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/rss.html and the information will automatically appear on your reader.
Online travel agents and tour operators are also embracing RSS. Lastminute.com has introduced feeds detailing each day�s best hotel discounts, package holidays and theatre deals (to subscribe, visit www.lastminute.com/site/rss).
The giant American travel search engine SideStep.com, which recently launched in the UK, is planning something similar. But RSS needn�t just be about bargains � it can be used to keep you updated about any subject under the sun...
Example: Last week, I subscribed to Lastminute.com’s RSS feeds and several tasty bargains landed straight on my desktop, including a week’s half-board at the five-star Marriott Taba Heights, in Egypt, reduced by 45% to £299."
