About MSN Travel

At MSN Travel, we know that travelling doesn't start when you board the plane or slip behind the wheel. It starts long before, with a desire to get away from the everyday. Our mission is to meet you at whatever point you are in the traveling process, whether you're dreaming, planning, booking or reflecting. We inspire you with images and articles from the best in the travel industry, including Travel+Leisure, Sherman's Travel and columnist Pauline Frommer, who provides expert answers to your travel questions. To help you research and plan your trip, we have close to 3,500 destination guides, featuring information and ratings from the pros at Frommer's plus user reviews of hotels, restaurants and attractions. And when it's time to check fares and book your tickets, we've partnered with two innovators in online travel, Orbitz and Farecast.

Orbitz offers endless options for planning your perfect trip, with listings from more than 400 airlines and 80,000 hotel properties around the world, plus car rentals and cruises. Orbitz leads the online travel space in developing new ways to simplify your trip search, with tools like the Matrix display and Beach Finder, a fun way to uncover the beach destination and hotel that's right for you. Orbitz's innovations extend to its traveler services, which include:

Orbitz Price Assurance: Never overpay for your flight. After you book your flight, if another customer books the same flight at a lower price, Orbitz will automatically send you the difference in cash.

OrbitzTLC: Real-time information to keep your travels on track. OrbitzTLC includes updates from fellow travelers about what's happening in and around the nation's top airports; itinerary updates, flight status and hotel availability on your mobile device; and real-time alerts about weather delays and flight changes.

Farecast helps you answer the important question: Should I buy my air ticket now or wait? Its innovative service includes:

Airfare predictions: Farecast's distinctive arrow indicates if the lowest airfare is rising, dropping or staying the same over the next seven days for the specific dates and cities searched. Based on the prediction, Farecast recommends buy or wait.

Airfare Deals: Farecast utilizes billions of airfares to uncover the best fares for airline tickets. Not only can you be confident that you're buying at the right time, but with Farecast you can also be sure you're getting a good deal.

Flexible Search Tools: If your travel dates are flexible, Farecast lets you compare the fares for flights departing within a 30-day range. The flexible search map or graph shows the lowest available fares for multiple destinations in one view. So, whether you have a place or a price in mind, Farecast helps you make the right purchase decision.
