Mobissimo - good or bad?
Mobissimo has officially launched its travel search engine. I went to mobissimo.com and tried a search from ICN (Incheon) to PRG (Prague) this January (2005). I clicked on the cheapest result (which was very expensive at 1600+/ticket and got a nice little note about how I was being sent to a US web site and that prices were in US dollars; it's nice to know what to expect.
Anyway I saw a 20 hour trip from Seoul to Tokyo to London to Prague. Now that doesn't sound like a good vacation! I tried Jan. 21 (a little better) - 22 - 23 - etc. What I'd really like to see is a button for people like me who are flexible. I'll fly whwnever I can get the best connections, but I don't want to ahve to try 20 different dates to figure it out. I might just end up using a travel agent after all...
One more try, an easy one: Incheon to Sydney. Feb 8 - Feb 15 = 1567.00 (for 2) on Qantas through Onetravel. Feb 9-16 = 1553.00 (for 2) on Asiana through Destina. Feb 10 - Feb 17 = 1575.00 (for 2) on Asiana through Travelocity. I'm still willing to call a travel agent to see if they can arrange something better. None of those deals strike me as unbeatable.
