Cheapflights pioneered the travel search category in 1996 and quickly grew to become the leading travel search company in the UK. The first independent online price search and comparison portal for travel deals, Cheapflights was also one of the first Web sites to launch the Travel Search Engine (TSE) concept, and was the first travel site to introduce a pay-per-click (PPC) model for advertisers.
Building on its UK success, Cheapflights expanded into the U.S. in June 2003 – opening a U.S. headquarters office in Boston and launching the U.S. Web site. U.S. travelers quickly embraced another “British invasion,” making the US operations profitable from day one.
Cheapflights is the most complete flight deals publisher, listing nearly one million airfares from consolidators, travel agencies, destination specialists and airlines – both low-cost and traditional. Travelers can search options from nearly 400 departure points to over 700 destinations worldwide.
