LisaCarey says "Does your travel search here there and everywhere " about SideStep

I was first introduced to SideStep when it was in it's "infancy" about 8 years ago. My supervisor loved using it to make travel plans and found it very helpful in finding and comparing quickly and easily airfares from many major and not so major companies. But Sidestep isn't just for airfare, so I feel it needs it's review broken down into different sections I have used.

SideStep for airfare:

I like that I can quickly and easily compare airfare and check out even ones like JetBlue and Frontier. I like that it tells me how long my search will take. However, rarely do I find that their search provides me with any airfare that is lower than the other sites except by dollars. Not exactly helpful in that way. But good searching tool and fast too.

SideStep for hotels

Although I have searched for hotels on sidestep I have never booked. The prices just aren't that great especially when compared to Priceline, Hotwire or Expedia.

SideStep for car rentals:

Great for searching and the...

Travel ranks as my favorite way to spend my spare time. I plan at least two long vacations every year as well as a few shorter, weekend excursions and I rely on the internet for much of my information and booking. Those who like to travel will agree that the internet has made task as simple as it could possibly be and one web site that aims to make the process not only simple but also inexpensive is Sidestep.com, a travel web service.

Web Site Commentary:

Sidestep.com offers travel services that include flight searches, hotel searches, rental cars, vacation packages, cruises, last minute travel deals, and more. It offers many of the same services found in competitive travel sites such as Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, and others.

knakash1 says "One of the best travel search engines around" about SideStep

SideStep bills itself as "The traveler's search engine." It is unparalleled with respect to the ease of customizing your search for airfare. As with any search engine, you'll enter your departing and arriving airports and your travel dates. The engine will then search all major airlines and offers you the option to simultaneously search other travel sites (e.g., Priceline, Hotwire, Expedia, Travelocity, etc.) to find available fares. Note: Fares for Southwest Airlines are available only on Southwest's website.

Once the search loads, SideStep's true genius shows. On the left-hand, you'll see the "SmartSort" which allows you to narrow your search based on a variety of features including:

The number of stops;
The departing and arriving times;
The airline;
The layover duration; and
The overall price.

The best part: SideStep shows you the anticipated price of each possible feature and allows you to select and layer multiple features to build your ideal flight.

One caveat: ...

Sidestep has become one of the must visit sites for me personally. The ability to search multiple airlines and ease of use makes it one of the must visit sites for frequent flyers.
With the ability to search nearby airports and variation in dates, the website provides tremendous amount of flexibility and bargain.

Another wonderful feature provided by SideStep is newsletter subscription. For those of us who have a lot of flexibility and is constantly searching for cheap airfares, the newsletter includes all the latest travel deals available.

Yem2004 says "This is the first place I look when I begin to make travel plans" about SideStep

SIdeStep.com is a travel search web site that gathers real time travel itineraries from thousands of different sites. When you find a fare that you like, you get taken directly to the supplier to finish your booking (Unless it's from one of the aggregator sites SideStep has a partnership with). This avoids booking fees and allows you to use/accumulate any bonus program points (Such as frequent flyer miles). Through SideStep you can book Airfare, Hotel, Car Rental, Cruises, Vacation Packages, and even Private Jets. In addition to booking you can do some of your vacation research with its many travel guides and hotel reviews. Some Hotels even include virtual tours! Since discovering this web site well over a year ago, I have always started my travel planning here. It doesn't hurt to shop around, but I feel SideStep does a lot of the shopping around for you. It's fairly comprehensive, and for the most part unbiased in its results. The SmartSort feature is very handy in narrowing down your......
