Web Buzz: WaySavvy.com finds well-priced flight, hotel packages
Do yourself a favor and save time scouring the Web for flight and hotel packages.
Name: WaySavvy.com
What it does: Searches the Internet for the best flight and hotel deals based on your departure point, destination and dates. Then it displays three options: WaySavvy’s choice, the cheapest choice and the swankiest choice.
What’s hot: It speeds up booking by reducing distractions. Instead of seeing page after page of hotel choices, ratings, photos and more, you see a limited selection. Then if you want to see more hotel options and amenities, search with advanced options or click on “change hotel/flight” and see more choices. I liked using this website as a pricing guide.
What’s not: Choose your search terms carefully. I knew I’d done something wrong when I got only a few airport hotels in my search results for “San Francisco International Airport.” Changing my destination search term to “San Francisco” helped to broaden the results.
Who runs it: A company based in Cambridge, Mass.
